Description

This cmdlet tests the comment-based metadata in a .ps1 file to ensure it's valid for publication to a repository.

Examples

Example 1: Test a valid script

This example creates a new script file then runs Test-PSScriptFile to validate the metadata in the script.

New-PSScriptFileInfo -Path "C:\MyScripts\test_script.ps1" -Description "this is a test script"
Test-PSScriptFileInfo -Path "C:\MyScripts\test_script.ps1"
True

Example 2: Test an invalid script (missing Author)

This example runs the Test-PSScriptFile cmdlet against a script file. The script is missing the required Author metadata. The cmdlet writes a warning message and returns $false. Get-Content is used to view the contents of the script file.

Test-PSScriptFileInfo -Path "C:\MyScripts\invalid_test_script.ps1"
Get-Content "C:\MyScripts\invalid_test_script.ps1"

Notes

The New-PSScriptFileInfo and Update-PSScriptFileInfo cmdlets place the #requires statements for required modules between the <#PSScriptInfo and comment-based help blocks of the help file. The Get-PSScriptFileInfo expects #requires statements to be placed somewhere before the comment-based help block. Any #requires statements placed after the comment-based help block are ignored by Get-PSScriptFileInfo and Publish-PSResource.
