How to test Updatable Help

Note

Manual authoring of XML-based help is very difficult. The PlatyPS module allows you to write help in Markdown and then convert it to XML-based help. This makes it much easier to write and maintain help. PlatyPS can also create the Updateable Help packages for you. For more information, see Create XML-based help using PlatyPS.

This topic describes approaches to testing Updatable Help for a module.

Using verbose to detect errors

After uploading the HelpInfo XML file and CAB files for your module, test the files by running an Update-Help command with the Verbose parameter. The Verbose parameter directs Update-Help to report the critical steps in its actions, from reading the HelpInfoUri key in the module manifest to validating the file types in the unpacked CAB file and placing the files in the language-specific module directory.

When all verbose messages are resolved, run an Update-Help command with the Debug parameter. This parameter should detect any remaining problems with the Updatable Help files.
