This improves the performance of the listener by not relying on a new
process starting up to run the listener. It improves the debugability
of tests by providing more direct access to the session executing
the listener. It also reverses the blocking nature of starting the
listener. By default, Start-HttpListener will no longer block, you need
to use -Foreground to have Start-HttpListener block. Lastly, create
a way to catch errors if the listener has a problem. If code in the
listener throws, it emits an error record.
Adds fenced code blocks / output blocks to the `Steps to reproduce`, `Expected behavior` and `Actual behavior` sections, so as to facilitate proper formatting.
Fix#3952.
* Update release documentation to reflect the desired release steps and order.
* Update in-doc links
* Update .spelling
* Address comments
* Additional changes to build/package example
* Update .spelling
* Remove another internal URL
* Name and link updates could be automated
* Move 'Note' to the top of 'Release Steps' section
Remove the code that spins up our own assembly load context. Keep the code that registers our `Resolve` method to the default loader's `Resolving` event, so that we can continue to do special assembly resolution as needed (such as the GAC probing logic needed for consuming FullCLR PS modules).
Essentially, the assembly `Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext.dll` is not needed anymore, the remaining code should be moved to S.M.A.dll. However, that will break DSC and other native hosts that are hosting powershell. So this assembly is kept for now.
Fixed tests that were failing or throwing unnecessary information on-screen.
Updated the paths to powershell.exe as per the new artifact layout.
Added Publish-PSTestTools to Compress-TestContent
Added PS Test tools to PSModulePath before starting tests.
NanoServer is missing some console APIs that PSReadline uses which causes PSReadline to not be usable on NanoServer docker images.
For the missing font/display APIs, the fix is to assume all characters use 1 cell which is not always correct for some languages.
For the missing keymap APIs - there is no workaround in this change and a small number of key bindings don't work, there is an open issue to track those.
Fixes#3463
Added try/catch within the enumeration loop to allow the enumeration to continue after encountering an error such as an item within the directory being deleted or renamed.
To assist in testing, two new internal test hooks have been added which cause Get-ChildItem to either delete or rename a specific file (file name hard-coded) when encountered during enumeration.
* Fixing ConvertFrom-Json on CoreCLR to be able to handle a collection of strings which represent a JSON content.
* Adding test case for ConvertFrom-Json to process an array of PSObjects as a single string.
* Support Link Header pagination in WebCmdlets to make it easier for the end user implementing:
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/blob/master/2-Draft-Accepted/RFC0021-Link-header-based-pagination-for-WebCmdlets.md
When the response includes a Link Header (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988#page-6), for Invoke-WebRequest we
create a RelationLink property that is a Dictionary representing the URLs and rel attributes and ensure the
URLs are absolute to make it easier for the developer to use. For Invoke-RestMethod, we expose a -FollowRelLink
switch to automatically follow 'next' rel links to the end until we hit the optional -MaxRelLink parameter value.
* removed unnecessary refs to namespaces
* addressed code review feedback
Use the method NativeCommandParameterBinder.NeedQuotes, which is used by powershell native command processor, to check if quotes are needed. If yes, add quotes in the same way as our native command processor.
Also, make 'Invoke-Item' on Linux and OSX able to invoke an executable properly.
Make changes to not expose the aliases "gin", "gsv", "sasv" and "spsv" in Unix platforms.
Also refactored aliases related tests and added new tests covering the complete list of built-in aliases/cmdlets.
The code paths deleted where using the undocumented Win32 APIs on WIn8 and newer for the following purposes:
* Faster filtering
* Getting two properties (left empty on Win7 and below)
* Logging using Certificate components when a cert is deleted or copied.
After the change, all the code uses public APIs. Filtering is done in PowerShell using existing code. I don't believe the logging is needed.
Wix toolset is part of the AppVeyor base image. The daily build did not generate a MSI since Wix toolset was not found.
AppVeyor updated the Wix version in the base image and our checks failed.
The fix removes the hardcoded version from path. It also guards against multiple side-by-side versions.
