v5.3.13
Add documentation for skipping individual PSModule framework tests (#252)
The Test-PSModule framework runs style and standards tests against source code (e.g., enforcing one function per file, requiring CmdletBinding attributes). Users needed guidance on skipping specific tests per-file when framework rules don't apply.
Changes
- New documentation section "Skipping Individual Framework Tests" added to README
- Syntax:
#SkipTest:<TestID>:<Reason>comment at file top - Complete reference table of 10 SourceCode test IDs with descriptions
- Module test overview (import/manifest validation)
- Code example demonstrating skip usage
- Best practices and configuration cross-references
- Syntax:
Available Test IDs
| Test ID | What It Enforces |
|---|---|
NumberOfProcessors |
Use [System.Environment]::ProcessorCount not $env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS |
Verbose |
Don't pass -Verbose to commands (overrides user preference) |
OutNull |
Use $null = ... not | Out-Null |
FunctionCount |
One function per file |
FunctionName |
Filename matches function name |
CmdletBinding |
All functions have [CmdletBinding()] |
ParamBlock |
All functions have param() block |
FunctionTest |
Public functions have tests |
Example
#SkipTest:FunctionCount:Contains helper functions for main function
function Get-ComplexData {
[CmdletBinding()]
param([string]$Path)
$data = Get-RawData -Path $Path
return Format-ComplexData -Data $data
}
function Get-RawData { ... }
function Format-ComplexData { ... }Based on analysis of Test-PSModule framework tests.

This section details on the original issue you should resolve
<issue_title>🩹 [Patch]: Add doc for how to skip framework (PSModule) tests</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Describe the changeBased on the code in PSModule/Test-PSModule, we need to recreate guidance in the readme on Process-PSModule for how users can skip individual tests from the framework, i.e. number of functions to have in a file.</issue_description>
