Pester testing guideline for tests against thrown errors #4635
Description
As part of PR 4612, it was found that the current guideline here recommends this approach
It "Get-Item on a nonexisting file should have error PathNotFound" {
try
{
get-item "ThisFileCannotPossiblyExist" -ErrorAction Stop
throw "No Exception!"
}
catch
{
$_.FullyQualifiedErrorId | should be "PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand"
}
}
However, @iSazonov suggests here that the guideline should be updated to this pattern:
{ get-item "ThisFileCannotPossiblyExist" -ErrorAction Stop } | ShouldBeErrorId "PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand"
