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.
