closes #2662 This feature adds the ability to restrict the SSL/TLS protocol used when making the web request. In 5.1 the user could make use of .NET API's to enforce this on the Web Cmdlets. With the move to HttpClient in PowerShell Core, those APIs have no impact. The user still has requirements to ensure specific protocols are used. The public enum WebSslProtocol is added as a wrapper to the underlying SslProtocols enum. Neither it nor SecurityProtocolType can be used because Ssl3 and Ssl2 are not supported by HttpClientHandler.SslProtocols. While it may not be intuitive to a PowerShell user to use -bor or "Tls, Tls11" to set multiple options, the general use case for this will be a single protocol. Adds -SslProtocol parameter to Web Cmdlets Adds WebSslProtocol Enum to support limited subset of SslProtocol enum supported by HttpClientHandler Adds TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0 listening ports to WebListener
Pester Testing Test Guide
Also see the Writing Pester Tests document.
Running Pester Tests
Go to the top level of the PowerShell repository and run: Start-PSPester
inside a self-hosted copy of PowerShell.
You can use Start-PSPester -Tests SomeTestSuite* to limit the tests run.
Testing new powershell processes
Any launch of a new powershell process must include -noprofile so that
modified user and system profiles do not causes tests to fail. You also must
take care to call the development copy of PowerShell, which is not the first
one on the path.
Example:
$powershell = Join-Path -Path $PsHome -ChildPath "pwsh"
& $powershell -noprofile -command "ExampleCommand" | Should Be "ExampleOutput"
Portability
Some tests simply must be tied to certain platforms. Use Pester's
-Skip directive on an It statement to do this. For instance to run
the test only on Windows:
It "Should do something on Windows" -Skip:($IsLinux -Or $IsMacOS) { ... }
Or only on Linux and OS X:
It "Should do something on Linux" -Skip:$IsWindows { ... }
Pending
When writing a test that should pass, but does not, please do not skip or delete
the test, but use It "Should Pass" -Pending to mark the test as pending, and
file an issue on GitHub.
