This repository contains a Pester implementation of a TestAdapter extension that works with the
Test Explorer extension for Visual Studio Code.
It currently supports running and debugging Pester tests as the workspace, file, Describe, or It level!
It leverages the PowerShell extension for VS Code to run and debug.
- install the Test Explorer extension
- fork and clone this repository and open it in VS Code
- run
npm install - run
npm run watchor start the watch Task in VS Code - start the debugger
You should now see a second VS Code window, the Extension Development Host. Open a folder in this window and click the "Test" icon in the Activity bar. Now you should see the test suite in the side panel:
