Charu Bassi 85825e2b0b Fix Resolve-Path -LiteralPath for drive paths (#2572)
Resolving #2570.
Ignore drive paths in the check. If the input is a drive path,
then "\" is passed as the path to GetDriveQualifiedPath with drive info.
Since, the path here starts with "\", treatAsRelative is set to false
which prevents further formatting of this path.
The check is only valid for PSDrives with root path equals to UNC paths or the paths
in unix.

Pester Testing Test Guide

Also see the Pester Do and Don't 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.
