Checks that DSC tests for given resource are present.

How

To fix a violation of this rule, please make sure Tests directory is present:

  • For non-class based resources it should exist at the same folder level as DSCResources folder.
  • For class based resources it should be present at the same folder level as resource .psm1 file.

The Tests folder should contain test script for given resource. The filename should contain the resource's name.

Example

Non-class based resource

Let's assume we have non-class based resource with a following file structure:

  • xAzure
    • DSCResources
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.psm1
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.schema.mof

In this case, to fix this warning, we should add tests in a following way:

  • xAzure
    • DSCResources
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.psm1
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.schema.mof
    • Tests
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription_Tests.ps1

Class based resource

Let's assume we have class based resource with a following file structure:

  • MyDscResource
    • MyDscResource.psm1
    • MyDscResource.psd1

In this case, to fix this warning, we should add tests in a following way:

  • MyDscResource
    • MyDscResource.psm1
    • MyDscResource.psd1
    • Tests
      • MyDscResource_Tests.ps1
