PR Summary

There are situations where you want to run a PS pipeline from pwsh -c, but need to provide arguments. This adds a new -CommandWithArgs parameter where the first string is the command and subsequent space delimited strings are arguments.

This is advertised as an Experimental Feature, but is not code fenced. It reuses the arg parsing logic as -File so that switch parameters can be turned off. This makes the diff look a bit more complex than it is as the arg parsing code was moved from ParseFile() to a separate CollectPSArgs() method.

PR Context

Fix #15417

Made a minor note about the existing docs to fix a typo and some grammar. Looking over the PR, do I understand correctly that this parameter works even if the experimental feature isn't enabled?

Follow up questions, if that's the case:

  1. Should the parameter documentation itself note that this is experimental functionality, especially since it may be removed in the future?
  2. This documentation is shown at the command line even when the feature isn't enabled, correct?

This PR has 106 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!


Quantification details

Label      : Medium
Size       : +75 -31
Percentile : 41.2%

Total files changed: 5

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +44 -30
.resx : +14 -1
.ps1 : +17 -0

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

  • Fast and predictable releases to production:
    • Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
      iterations.
    • Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
  • Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
    • Bugs are more likely to be detected.
    • Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
  • Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
    • Small portions can be assimilated better.
  • Better engineering practices are exercised:
    • Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
    • Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

  • Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
    • Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
    • Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Change your engineering behaviors
    • For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
      • Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
      • Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

  • One line was added: +1 -0
  • One line was deleted: +0 -1
  • One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
    interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
  • Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
    of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.

@SteveL-MSFT I believe new experimental features should be added to the following files:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/experimental-feature-windows.json
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/experimental-feature-linux.json
