The syntax for running PQTest is:

PQTest.exe [Command] [Options]

Formatting output

Most commands return their results in a JSON format. Use the --prettyPrint / -p option to produce formatted output.

Extension

Most commands require you to specify the data source extension (that is, your connector's .mez file) to use. This functionality can be achieved with the --extension / -e option.

Data source

Some commands require you to provide data source information in addition to the data source extension. This information can be provided using the --dataSourceKind / -dsk and --dataSourcePath / -dsp options, or by providing an input query file using the --queryFile / -q option. When providing a query, it should contain a single data source.

A good example of this query would be:

let
    Source = SampleExtension.Contents()
in
    Source

Another good example would be:

SampleExtension.Contents()

Providing a query that doesn't contain a data source function call, or contains calls to multiple data sources, results in an error.
