joeskeen/Pester: Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell.

💵 I am spending most of my weekends making this happen. These release notes for example took multiple days to write and update. Consider sponsoring me or sponsoring Pester, please.

🌵 Documentation is available at https://pester.dev/docs/quick-start.

📦🔐 Pester is now signed. -SkipPublisherCheck should no longer be used to install from PowerShell Gallery on Windows 10.

👩👨 We are looking for contributors! All issues labeled help wanted are up for grabs. They further split up into good first issue that are issues I hope are easy to solve. Bad first issue where I expect the implementation to be problematic or needs to be proposed and discussed beforehand. And the rest which is somewhere in the middle. If you decide to pick up an issue please comment in the issue thread so others don't waste their time working on the same issue as you. There is also contributor's guide that will hopefully help you.

Pester is the ubiquitous test and mock framework for PowerShell.

BeforeAll {
    # your function
    function Get-Planet ([string]$Name='*')
    {
        $planets = @(
            @{ Name = 'Mercury' }
            @{ Name = 'Venus'   }
            @{ Name = 'Earth'   }
            @{ Name = 'Mars'    }
            @{ Name = 'Jupiter' }
            @{ Name = 'Saturn'  }
            @{ Name = 'Uranus'  }
            @{ Name = 'Neptune' }
        ) | foreach { [PSCustomObject]$_ }

        $planets | where { $_.Name -like $Name }
    }
}

# Pester tests
Describe 'Get-Planet' {
  It "Given no parameters, it lists all 8 planets" {
    $allPlanets = Get-Planet
    $allPlanets.Count | Should -Be 8
  }

  Context "Filtering by Name" {
    It "Given valid -Name '<Filter>', it returns '<Expected>'" -TestCases @(
      @{ Filter = 'Earth'; Expected = 'Earth' }
      @{ Filter = 'ne*'  ; Expected = 'Neptune' }
      @{ Filter = 'ur*'  ; Expected = 'Uranus' }
      @{ Filter = 'm*'   ; Expected = 'Mercury', 'Mars' }
    ) {
      param ($Filter, $Expected)

      $planets = Get-Planet -Name $Filter
      $planets.Name | Should -Be $Expected
    }

    It "Given invalid parameter -Name 'Alpha Centauri', it returns `$null" {
      $planets = Get-Planet -Name 'Alpha Centauri'
      $planets | Should -Be $null
    }
  }
}

Save this code example in a file named Get-Planet.Tests.ps1, and run Invoke-Pester Get-Planet.Tests.ps1, or just press F5 in VSCode.

The example above also has an annotated and production ready version here.

Pester runs on Windows, Linux, MacOS and anywhere else thanks to PowerShell. It is compatible with Windows PowerShell 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Pester 3 comes pre-installed with Windows 10, but we recommend updating, by running this PowerShell command as administrator:

Install-Module -Name Pester -Force

Not running Windows 10 or facing problems? See the full installation and update guide.

Pester runs your tests and prints a nicely formatted output to the screen.

Command line output is not the only output option, Pester also integrates with Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, and any tool that can consume nUnit XML output.

Pester comes with a suite of assertions that cover a lot of common use cases. Pester assertions range from very versatile, like Should -Be, to specialized like Should -Exists. Here is how you ensure that a file exists:

Describe 'Notepad' {
    It 'Exists in Windows folder' {
        'C:\Windows\notepad.exe' | Should -Exist
    }
}

Learn more about assertions in our documentation.

Pester has mocking built-in. Using mocks you can easily replace functions with empty implementation to avoid changing the real environment.

function Remove-Cache {
    Remove-Item "$env:TEMP\cache.txt"
}

Describe 'Remove-Cache' {
    It 'Removes cached results from temp\cache.text' {
        Mock -CommandName Remove-Item -MockWith {}

        Remove-Cache

        Should -Invoke -CommandName Remove-Item -Times 1 -Exactly
    }
}

Learn more about Mocking here.

Pester can measure how much of your code is covered by tests and export it to JaCoCo format that is easily understood by build servers.

Learn more about code coverage here.

Pester integrates nicely with TFS, AppVeyor, TeamCity, Jenkins and other CI servers.

Testing your scripts, and all pull requests on AppVeyor is extremely simple. Just commit this appveyor.yml file to your repository, and select your repository on the AppVeyor website:

version: 1.0.{build}
image:
  - Visual Studio 2017
  - Ubuntu
install:
  - ps: Install-Module Pester -Force -Scope CurrentUser
build: off
test_script:
  - ps: Invoke-Pester -EnableExit

See it in action here! If you do not need to test your scripts against PowerShell Core, just simply remove the entire line mentioning Ubuntu.

Pester itself is built on AzureDevOps, and distributed mainly via PowerShell gallery.
