Support loading a custom `powershell.config.json` file via the command-line for use in testing. This change supports replacing the default `powershell.config.json` file that's usually loaded from the `PSHome` directory with a custom version file. The primary use-cases for this command-line option are as follows: 1. Allow the CI system to disable settings that impact test run times; such as disabling syslog usage on Linux and MacOS 2. Support testing of syslog and os_log without interfering with normal PowerShell operations during test runs via launching an instance with custom log settings.
Testing
The tests are organized by testing language. Thus Pester tests, which are written in the PowerShell language, are in ./powershell and xUnit tests, written in C#, are in ./csharp. The sanity tests for the Full .NET build of PowerShell are in ./fullclr, and the third-party shebang test is in ./shebang.
