* Stifle progress output in build.psm1 for some operations
Modify test failure presentation to use platform available XML methods
* Add timeout support for returning runtime parsing errors
Some of the language/parser tests have been hanging in a non-reproducable manner which
causes the CI system to invalidate the entire run. This change adds support for timeout
which will fail a test if it runs to long, rather than invalidate the entire run.
current behavior is still supported, and is not done in a new session:
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/'
At line:1 char:3
+ 1/
+ ~
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
Adding a timeout will do the operation in a async powershell session
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/' -timeout 5
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
If the operation takes longer than the supplied timeout, a timeout error will be returned
PS> get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
get-runtimeerror : Operation Timed Out ('start-sleep 6')
At line:1 char:1
+ get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Get-RuntimeError
* Modify native linux command tests to skip on Windows and pending on Mac
* remove verbose and progress output from help tests
* Be sure that Feature Counter tests only run on Windows
Also, only call add-type in CounterTestHelperFunctions.ps1 if we're going to actually run the tests
* do not run any get-computerinfo tests on non-windows systems
* suppress progress output from PowerShell Get tests
* remove -quiet from API and CRON Builds
Travis watches output from the build to ensure that it hasn't hung
we need to find a balance between too much output and not enough output.
A run which has too much output is killed because it looks like an error loop
A run which has too little output is killed because it looks like a hang
* Remove commented line in Import-Counter.Tests.ps1
Remove extraneous extra line in PowerShellGet.Tests.ps1
* Change `-as "type"` to `-as [type]` in build.psm1
Alter timeout to 10 seconds to be improve chances of not timing out for runtime parser checks
improve logic for counter tests to also skip for IoT
* use the existing function of SkipCounterTests rather than duplicate the logic in import-counter.tests.ps1
PowerShell
Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community! PowerShell is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works well with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language and a framework for processing cmdlets.

Downloading the Source Code
The PowerShell repository has a number of other repositories embedded as submodules.
To make things easy, you can just clone recursively:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git
If you already cloned but forgot to use --recursive, you can update submodules manually:
git submodule update --init
See working with the PowerShell repository for more information.
