Should Get-Item Cert:\ return an object #6258
Description
Calling Get-Item on the root of a provider should return an item.
it does for these commands:
Get-Item C:\
Get-Item HKLM:\
But not for this command
Get-Item Cert:\
Behaviour is the same as it was in 5.1. I suspect it has always been this way.
I am only creating this issue because I corrected a test in #6256 for #6245 that was malformed. It then started to fail on the assumption that Get-Item would give it an object in that case. I adjusted the test to no longer check the Cert:\ path.
Steps to reproduce
Get-Item Cert:\
Get-Item C:\
Get-Item HKLM:\
