Dynamic (DLR) objects work in some places today, but not others. This change expands that support to ForEach-Object, Where-Object and the family of cmdlets that use 'MshExpression' (Select-Object, etc.).
This change addresses both wildcard and non-wildcard cases. In wildcard cases, it uses the existing support of generating PSDynamicMember objects for names returned by GetDynamicMemberNames.
In non-wildcard cases, a dynamic property access is attempted whether or not the name shows up in GetDynamicMemberNames, but a truly "blind" access is only attempted if we see that the base object is an IDMOP. If the dynamic access fails, you'll get the same or a similar error experience as before ("The property 'Blarg' cannot be found", or no error at all, depending on the cmdlet and the strict mode setting).
The included test coverage includes a stub for the.ForEach operator--once people are happy with this change, I can continue by adding support there.
This change should allegedly also have positive perf impact, though in actual perf testing, although it does seem ever-so-slightly faster, I found it difficult to measure much difference at all.
For a PropertyOnlyAdapter, the property may come from various sources, but methods, including parameterized properties, still come from DotNetAdapter. So, the binder can optimize on method calls for objects that map to a custom PropertyOnlyAdapter.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.
Separate PR coming to update contribution document for new source files: #6140
Manually reviewed each change.
Fix#6073
Using LanguagePrimitives.ConvertTo (to emulate what would happen if the property were a regular .Net property typed as string), we now convert the value assigned to an XML property to string.
* Added tests to close code coverage in CIM area
Added CimAdapter.Tests for adaptation layer (code cribbed from BVT tests)
Added SessionOption.Tests.ps1 (Code cribbed from BVT tests)
Modified CimClass tests by adding more tests
Added CimSession.Tests for basic tests of New-CimSession cmdlet
Added CimInstance.Tests for basic tests of Get-CimInstance
* Add CI tags to tests
* unify test execution to use try/catch for marking tests as skipped
moved test which retrieves cimclass via method to feature as it is not
a common operation, this test can take some time as well
