I have a few Pester tests running fine in the console, but I would like to run the tests automatically and send a message if any test fails. I read the option -EnableExit causes Invoke-Pester to return the numer of failed tests. But whenever I use -EnableExit the powershell console closes, regardless if a test failed. It is Pester version 4.7.3. PSVersion 5.1.
Is Invoke-Pester -EnableExit
supposed to close the shell?
How do I get the number of failed tests?
runs fine:
Invoke-Pester -Script D:\\tmp\\PowerShell\\dummy1.Tests.ps1
closes the shell window:
Invoke-Pester -Script D:\\tmp\\PowerShell\\dummy1.Tests.ps1 -EnableExit
I expect to get an integer as output, but the console window closes.
You can get the number of failed tests by using the -PassThru
switch on Invoke-Pester
. For example:
$TestResults = Invoke-Pester -PassThru
My $TestResults
variable then has a FailedCount
property with the number of tests that failed. You can then use this as part of a pipeline to have the pipeline fail if there are failed tests:
If ($TestResults.FailedCount -gt 0) { Throw "There were $($TestResults.FailedCount) failed tests" }
Here's an example of the other things -PassThru
returns:
TagFilter :
ExcludeTagFilter :
TestNameFilter :
ScriptBlockFilter :
TotalCount : 230
PassedCount : 229
FailedCount : 1
SkippedCount : 0
PendingCount : 0
InconclusiveCount : 0

Use the -PassThru
switch parameter of Invoke-Pester
$Result = Invoke-Pester -Script C:\temp\test.tests.ps1 -PassThru
$Result
$Result.FailedCount
You can get just the number of failed tests by doing this:
(Invoke-Pester -Path D:\tmp\PowerShell\dummy1.Tests.ps1 -PassThru -Show None).FailedCount
If you want other data (passed/skipped count, test results, etc), then pass the output to a variable, then process further:
$testResults = Invoke-Pester -Path D:\\tmp\\PowerShell\\dummy1.Tests.ps1 -PassThru -Show None
