Fixes #1193 for most scenarios. The remaining scenario to be addressed is the Nano Server bring-up scenario. To continue supporting that scenario, I left the Install-PowerShellRemoting script in place. This change 1. Ports Enable-PSRemoting and Disable-PSRemoting to PowerShell Core 2. Adds side-by-side PowerShell Core remoting support to the PSSessionConfiguration cmdlets and PSRemoting cmdlets. 3. Ports PSSessionConfiguration tests This change also introduces a behavioral difference. The PSRemoting and PSSessionConfiguration cmdlets are now context-sensitive and only work for endpoints that match the PowerShell type. For example, Get-PSSessionConfiguration, when running in PowerShell Core, will only return PowerShell Core WinRM endpoints. It will only modify PowerShell Core WinRM endpoints and cannot be used to configure Windows PowerShell endpoints. |

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 "powershell"
& $powershell -noprofile -command "ExampleCommand" | Should Be "ExampleOutput"
Portability
Some tests simply must be tied to certain platforms. Use Pester's
-Skip
directive on an It
statement to do this. For instance to run
the test only on Windows:
It "Should do something on Windows" -Skip:($IsLinux -Or $IsOSX) { ... }
Or only on Linux and OS X:
It "Should do something on Linux" -Skip:$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.
