Fix the get-help -online test so that when a default browser is not set, the test does not fail.

Two thoughts:
- This solution seems overly complex and difficult to parse. Can you simplify it and still retain the same behavior? Maybe use an else within the catch block?
- If you keep it this way then comments are needed to describe what you are doing and why

Added code to check if default browser is set.

Would it make more sense to check if the default browser is set? If it is, run the test; otherwise, skip it.

Good idea. I have added the code similar to the product.

Looks like unneeded formating.

Are you OK with the changes? |

What about a try-catch here? This can potentially throw

Hi @adityapatwardhan. To get the default browser executable path you need to parse the output of $browserKey.GetValue($null). This would look something like this: $browserExe = (($browserKey.GetValue($null) -replace '"' ,"") -split " ")[0].
Also, you could potentially set $skipTest to $false by default which will simplify your logic to something like this:
$skipTest = $true
try
{
$regKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice"
$progId = [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::GetValue($regKey, "ProgId", $null)
if($progId)
{
$browserKey = [Microsoft.Win32.Registry]::ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("$progId\shell\open\command", $false)
if($browserKey)
{
$browserExe = (($browserKey.GetValue($null) -replace '"' ,"") -split " ")[0]
if($browserExe.EndsWith('.exe'))
{
$skipTest = $false
}
}
}
}
catch
{
# ignore the failure
}

@Francisco-Gamino Do you have any additional comments? |
|
@adityapatwardhan : You should probably squash your commits into one. Other than that, LGTM. |
|
@PowerShell/powershell-maintainers This is ready for merge. |
|
Chatted with @adityapatwardhan offline, and it looks like a bug in the default browser detection code because:
We need to fix this in product code. @Francisco-Gamino: thought? |
|
Perhaps you should put a comment in the code to the effect that this is a workaround for #3079 . This would help if someone is trying to understand the code. |
|
@TravisEz13 Checks have passed. Ready for merge. |
