Get-FileVersion: New command#188
Conversation
- Introduced new Get-FileVersion command to retrieve file version information. - Updated Get-FileProductVersion to utilize Get-FileVersion for improved functionality. - Enhanced CHANGELOG with new command details and modifications. - Added localization strings for error handling in Get-FileVersion. - Created integration and unit tests for Get-FileVersion command.
WalkthroughAdds a public cmdlet Get-FileVersion that returns System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo; refactors Get-FileProductVersion to use Get-FileVersion and return a parsed System.Version (with terminating errors for read/format failures); adds localized error strings, changelog entry, and unit/integration tests.

56-62: Remove redundant-ErrorAction 'Stop'on line 60.Since

Timestamp: 2025-10-04T21:33:23.022Z
Learning: In UpdateServicesDsc (and similar DSC modules), the module-level localization file (source/en-US/<ModuleName>.strings.psd1) can be empty when DSC resources have their own localization files in source/DSCResources/<ResourceName>/en-US/DSC_<ResourceName>.strings.psd1. Automated tests verify localization completeness for resources. Don't flag empty module-level localization files as issues when resources have separate localization.

Learning: In unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), when DscResource.Test module dependency is not found during BeforeDiscovery setup, the error message should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" (not "build") because the noop task is designed for quick test environment setup. The build task is more extensive and unnecessary when tests run in a separate process, as the module should already be built before running tests.

60-62: LGTM! Localized string follows style guidelines.The localized error string follows DSC Community guidelines: key naming uses
Verb_FunctionName_Actionpattern, string ID(GFV0001)uses correct prefix format, and placement under the Get-FileVersion section is appropriate.CHANGELOG.md (1)
10-20: LGTM! Changelog follows Keep a Changelog format.The changelog entries properly document both the new
Get-FileVersioncommand and the refactoring ofGet-FileProductVersion. Format, placement, and content follow DSC Community guidelines.source/Public/Get-FileVersion.ps1 (3)
1-41: LGTM! Comment-based help is comprehensive and well-structured.The comment-based help includes all required sections with appropriate detail: SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION (40+ chars), PARAMETER, multiple EXAMPLE sections demonstrating different usage patterns, INPUTS (with both types and descriptions), and OUTPUTS. Format and content follow DSC Community guidelines.
42-52: LGTM! Function declaration follows all guidelines.The function declaration properly includes
[CmdletBinding()],[OutputType()]with the correct return type, and well-formatted parameters with appropriate attributes. The use of theFullNamealias for thePathparameter ensures compatibility withGet-Itempipeline output.
64-77: LGTM! Error handling and return logic are correct.The validation that the path is not a directory, with appropriate terminating error using localized strings and correct error category, follows best practices. The return of
$file.VersionInfocorrectly provides the expectedSystem.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfooutput.

30-33: Consider guarding the[System.Version]cast for non-numericProductVersion.
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.ProductVersioncan be a non-version string; casting will throw and land in catch. If you want “best effort”, parse viaTryParseand emit a clearer error.tests/Unit/Public/Get-FileVersion.Tests.ps1 (1)
173-176: Make parameter mandatory assertion robust across parameter attributes/sets.
$parameterInfo.Attributes.Mandatorycan be an array;Should -BeTruemay be brittle.It 'Should have Path as a mandatory parameter' { $parameterInfo = (Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileVersion').Parameters['Path'] - $parameterInfo.Attributes.Mandatory | Should -BeTrue + $parameterInfo.Attributes.Mandatory | Should -Not -Contain $false }

Learning: In source/suffix.ps1, the Write-Verbose message in the catch block for Import-SqlDscPreferredModule does not need localization because the exception message from Import-SqlDscPreferredModule is already localized by that command, making it an edge case exception to the localization guidelines.

Learning: In UpdateServicesDsc (and similar DSC modules), the module-level localization file (source/en-US/<ModuleName>.strings.psd1) can be empty when DSC resources have their own localization files in source/DSCResources/<ResourceName>/en-US/DSC_<ResourceName>.strings.psd1. Automated tests verify localization completeness for resources. Don't flag empty module-level localization files as issues when resources have separate localization.

Learning: In unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), when DscResource.Test module dependency is not found during BeforeDiscovery setup, the error message should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" (not "build") because the noop task is designed for quick test environment setup. The build task is more extensive and unnecessary when tests run in a separate process, as the module should already be built before running tests.

Learning: In DSC Community projects, when writing error messages for missing DscResource.Test module dependency in unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), the policy is: new code should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" for quick test environment setup; existing code using ".\build.ps1 -Tasks build" is acceptable but slower since it also builds the project. The `noop` task is preferred as it assumes the module is already built before running tests, especially when tests run in a separate process.

Learning: For ADCS resources in ActiveDirectoryCSDsc, when catching exceptions from Install-Adcs* commands to determine installation state, use string matching on the exception message (e.g., `$_.Exception.ToString() -match 'OnlineResponderSetupException$'`) instead of catching specific exception types. This avoids dependency on importing types that may not be available in all environments like CI systems or DSC authoring machines.

49-69: Prefer mockingGet-FileVersion(notGet-Item) to unit-testGet-FileProductVersionin isolation.
Right now these tests are indirectly testingGet-FileVersion’s internalGet-Itemusage.BeforeAll { - Mock -CommandName Get-Item -MockWith { - return [PSCustomObject] @{ - Exists = $true - VersionInfo = [PSCustomObject] @{ - ProductVersion = '15.0.2000.5' - } - } - } + Mock -CommandName Get-FileVersion -MockWith { + return [PSCustomObject] @{ + ProductVersion = '15.0.2000.5' + } + } }
71-92: “ProductVersion is aSystem.Version” scenario is fine as a robustness test, but it’s likely not a realFileVersionInfoshape.
If you keep this, mockingGet-FileVersion(like above) will make the intent explicit and avoid conflating behaviors.
93-116: Good coverage for invalid ProductVersion format; consider asserting the error id too (if you want to lock contract).
Today this only asserts message text, which is slightly more brittle than error id.source/Public/Get-FileProductVersion.ps1 (1)
16-20: Comment-based help.OUTPUTSshould match guideline formatting (inline code + 1-line description).
Right now it’s plain text.

60-65:Write-Errormetadata in catch looks solid (ErrorId/Category/TargetObject/Exception +return).
Nice improvement vs the common “message-only” pattern. Based on learnings, keepingreturnafterWrite-Erroris the right guardrail.
35-57: Pass anExceptionobject to theErrorRecordconstructor, not a string.The primary
ErrorRecordconstructor signature isErrorRecord(Exception exception, string errorId, ErrorCategory errorCategory, object targetObject). The first parameter must be anExceptioninstance. Wrap the error message in an appropriate exception type (e.g.,System.FormatException) and pass that to the constructor.if (-not [System.Version]::TryParse($productVersionString, [ref] $parsedVersion)) { $errorMessage = $script:localizedData.Get_FileProductVersion_InvalidVersionFormat -f $productVersionString, $Path + $exception = [System.FormatException]::new($errorMessage) $PSCmdlet.ThrowTerminatingError( [System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord]::new( - $errorMessage, + $exception, 'GFPV0002', # cSpell: disable-line [System.Management.Automation.ErrorCategory]::InvalidData, $Path ) ) }⛔ Skipped due to learnings

49-65: Mock switch toGet-FileVersionis a solid simplification.Mocking
Get-FileVersiondirectly keeps the test focused on parsing/typing behavior ofGet-FileProductVersion.
68-86: Good coverage for[System.Version]-typedProductVersion.This context ensures the cmdlet behaves correctly regardless of whether
ProductVersionarrives as a string or aSystem.Version.
87-108: Nice: asserts localized terminating error message for invalid versions.Pulling the localized string via
InModuleScope(only for the string) stays within the “public commands shouldn’t useInModuleScope” guideline exception.
109-127: Exception-path test matches expected error propagation.This is a good regression guard for the delegated
Get-FileVersion -ErrorAction Stopcall chain.source/Public/Get-FileProductVersion.ps1 (2)
1-21: Help/output update matches the new contract (System.Version).The
.OUTPUTSsection now aligns with[OutputType([System.Version])]and actual return type.
58-65: Catch block now has properWrite-Errormetadata + returns.Including
-ErrorId,-Category,-TargetObject, and-Exceptionis aligned with DSC Community guidance (and addresses the earlier review feedback).

[String] $name- One space between keyword and parenthesis:
if ($condition)- No spaces on empty lines
- Try to limit lines to 120 characters
Braces
- Newline before opening brace (except variable assignments)
- One newline after opening brace
- Two newlines after closing brace (one if followed by another brace or continuation)
Quotes
- Use single quotes unless variable expansion is needed:
'text'vs"text $variable"Arrays
- Single line:
@('one', 'two', 'three')- Multi-line: each element on separate line with proper indentation
- Do not use the unary comma operator (
,) in return statements to force
an arrayHashtables
- Empty:
@{}- Each property on separate line with proper indentation
- Properties: Use PascalCase
Comments
- Single line:
# Comment(capitalized, on own line)- Multi-line:
<# Comment #>format (opening and closing brackets on own line), and indent text- No commented-out code
Comment-based help
- Always add comment-based help to all functions and scripts
- Comment-based help: SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION (40+ chars), PARAMETER, EXAMPLE sections before function/class
- Comment-based help indentation: keywords 4 spaces, text 8 spaces
- Include examples for all parameter sets and combinations

- All public commands, private functions and classes must have unit tests
- All public commands and class-based resources must have integration tests
- Use Pester v5 syntax only
- Test code only inside
Describeblocks- Assertions only in
Itblocks- Never test verbose messages, debug messages or parameter binding behavior
- Pass all mandatory parameters to avoid prompts
Requirements
- Inside
Itblocks, assign unused return objects to$null(unless part of pipeline)- Tested entity must be called from within the

Naming
- One

Structure & Scope
- Public commands: Never use
InModuleScope(unless retrieving localized strings or creating an object using an internal class)- Private functions/class resources: Always use
InModuleScope- Each class method = separate

Learning: In source/suffix.ps1, the Write-Verbose message in the catch block for Import-SqlDscPreferredModule does not need localization because the exception message from Import-SqlDscPreferredModule is already localized by that command, making it an edge case exception to the localization guidelines.

72-89: Mocks/coverage for string vsSystem.VersionProductVersionlook solid.
UsingGet-FileVersionas the seam and validating the returnedSystem.Versioncomponents is a good upgrade in coverage. Based on learnings, this aligns with “cover scenarios and code paths.”Also applies to: 91-109
132-148: Good: validatesGFPV0001error id on downstreamGet-FileVersionfailure.
This is the important contract for callers.
49-70: The parameter set validation test is correctly structured and uses the approved pattern. The expected string'[-Path] <string> [<CommonParameters>]'matches the actualParameterSet.ToString()output and passes consistently in CI across multiple platforms (windows-latest and ubuntu-latest). No adjustments needed.

{**/*.ps1,**/*.psm1,**/*.psd1}: # PowerShell GuidelinesNaming
- Use descriptive names (3+ characters, no abbreviations)
- Functions: PascalCase with Verb-Noun format using approved verbs
- Parameters: PascalCase
- Variables: camelCase
- Keywords: lower-case
- Classes: PascalCase
- Include scope for script/global/environment variables:
$script:,$global:,$env:File naming
- Class files:
###.ClassName.ps1format (e.g.001.SqlReason.ps1,004.StartupParameters.ps1)Formatting
Indentation & Spacing
- Use 4 spaces (no tabs)
- One space around operators:
$a = 1 + 2- One space between type and variable:
[String] $name- One space between keyword and parenthesis:
if ($condition)- No spaces on empty lines
- Try to limit lines to 120 characters
Braces
- Newline before opening brace (except variable assignments)
- One newline after opening brace
- Two newlines after closing brace (one if followed by another brace or continuation)
Quotes
- Use single quotes unless variable expansion is needed:
'text'vs"text $variable"Arrays
- Single line:
@('one', 'two', 'three')- Multi-line: each element on separate line with proper indentation
- Do not use the unary comma operator (
,) in return statements to force
an arrayHashtables
- Empty:
@{}- Each property on separate line with proper indentation
- Properties: Use PascalCase
Comments
- Single line:
# Comment(capitalized, on own line)- Multi-line:
<# Comment #>format (opening and closing brackets on own line), and indent text- No commented-out code
Comment-based help
- Always add comment-based help to all functions and scripts
- Comment-based help: SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION (40+ chars), PARAMETER, EXAMPLE sections before function/class
- Comment-based help indentation: keywords 4 spaces, text 8 spaces
- Include examples for all parameter sets and combinations

16-23: Help updates (INPUTS/OUTPUTS) align with guidelines and the new return type.As per coding guidelines.
36-74: Error handling + parsing flow looks correct: read failures => GFPV0001; invalid version format => GFPV0002; success =>System.Version.

Because it need to go into the module scope to fetch the actual localizations string that are used in the assert, to verify that actual localized message is used.

49-70: Verify parameter set signature matches actual PowerShell output.The expected parameter string
'[-Path] <string> [<CommonParameters>]'may not match the actual output. Mandatory parameters without positional binding typically render as-Path <String>(without brackets and with PascalCase type). However, sincePathis positional (first parameter), it may render with brackets.Consider running
(Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileProductVersion').ParameterSets[0].ToString()to verify the exact format.tests/Unit/Public/Get-FileVersion.Tests.ps1 (1)
20-23: Unit-test setup: error text should prefer-Tasks noop(notbuild).Based on learnings, the quick-path instruction for missing
DscResource.Testshould point tonoop.catch [System.IO.FileNotFoundException] { - throw 'DscResource.Test module dependency not found.

48-74: Consider adding parameter set validation tests.Per the coding guidelines, all public commands require parameter set validation tests. Consider adding a
Contextblock to validate the parameter sets:Context 'When validating parameter sets' { It 'Should have the correct parameters in parameter set <ExpectedParameterSetName>' -ForEach @( @{ ExpectedParameterSetName = 'ErrorRecord' ExpectedParameters = '[-ErrorRecord] <ErrorRecord> [-Exception] <Exception> [<CommonParameters>]' } @{ ExpectedParameterSetName = 'Exception' ExpectedParameters = '[-Exception] <Exception> [-ErrorCategory] <ErrorCategory> [[-TargetObject] <Object>] [[-ErrorId] <string>] [<CommonParameters>]' } ) { $result = (Get-Command -Name 'New-ErrorRecord').ParameterSets | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_.Name -eq $ExpectedParameterSetName } | Select-Object -Property @( @{ Name = 'ParameterSetName'; Expression = { $_.Name } }, @{ Name = 'ParameterListAsString'; Expression = { $_.ToString() } } ) $result.ParameterSetName | Should -Be $ExpectedParameterSetName $result.ParameterListAsString | Should -Be $ExpectedParameters } }Note: Verify the exact parameter string format matches what
Get-Commandreturns.tests/Unit/Public/Get-FileVersion.Tests.ps1 (1)
190-198: Consider using more explicit assertions for pipeline input validation.The current assertions
Should -Not -Contain $falseare fragile. If the attribute collection is empty or the property doesn't exist on some attributes, this could pass unexpectedly. Consider using-Contain $truefor clearer intent.It 'Should accept pipeline input for Path parameter' { $parameterInfo = (Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileVersion').Parameters['Path'] - $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipeline | Should -Not -Contain $false + $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipeline | Should -Contain $true } It 'Should accept pipeline input by property name for Path parameter' { $parameterInfo = (Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileVersion').Parameters['Path'] - $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName | Should -Not -Contain $false + $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName | Should -Contain $true }

Learning: In the DscResource.Test repository, DSC resource attributes are consistently written as `[DscResource(...)]` rather than using variations like `[DscResourceAttribute()]` or fully qualified names like `[Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.DscResource()]`. The Test-FileContainsClassResource function should focus on detecting the standard `[DscResource(...)]` pattern that is actually used in the codebase.

Learning: In UpdateServicesDsc (and similar DSC modules), the module-level localization file (source/en-US/<ModuleName>.strings.psd1) can be empty when DSC resources have their own localization files in source/DSCResources/<ResourceName>/en-US/DSC_<ResourceName>.strings.psd1. Automated tests verify localization completeness for resources. Don't flag empty module-level localization files as issues when resources have separate localization.

Learning: In unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), when DscResource.Test module dependency is not found during BeforeDiscovery setup, the error message should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" (not "build") because the noop task is designed for quick test environment setup. The build task is more extensive and unnecessary when tests run in a separate process, as the module should already be built before running tests.

Learning: In DSC Community projects, when writing error messages for missing DscResource.Test module dependency in unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), the policy is: new code should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" for quick test environment setup; existing code using ".\build.ps1 -Tasks build" is acceptable but slower since it also builds the project. The `noop` task is preferred as it assumes the module is already built before running tests, especially when tests run in a separate process.

Done. Totally missed the extra array, good catch.

49-68: Fix parameter-set signature expectation: mandatory-Pathshould render as-Path <String> ....Line 53 expects
'[-Path] <string> [<CommonParameters>]', but since Path is mandatory (verified at lines 70-74), the actual ParameterListAsString will render without brackets around-Pathand with uppercase type casing:-Path <String> [<CommonParameters>].🔎 Proposed fix
@{ ExpectedParameterSetName = '__AllParameterSets' - ExpectedParameters = '[-Path] <string> [<CommonParameters>]' + ExpectedParameters = '-Path <String> [<CommonParameters>]' }Based on coding guidelines for parameter set validation tests.

Automated tests verify localization completeness for resources. Don't flag empty module-level localization files as issues when resources have separate localization.

Learning: In unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), when DscResource.Test module dependency is not found during BeforeDiscovery setup, the error message should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" (not "build") because the noop task is designed for quick test environment setup. The build task is more extensive and unnecessary when tests run in a separate process, as the module should already be built before running tests.

Learning: In DSC Community projects, when writing error messages for missing DscResource.Test module dependency in unit test files (tests/[Uu]nit/**/*.[Tt]ests.ps1), the policy is: new code should instruct users to run ".\build.ps1 -Tasks noop" for quick test environment setup; existing code using ".\build.ps1 -Tasks build" is acceptable but slower since it also builds the project. The `noop` task is preferred as it assumes the module is already built before running tests, especially when tests run in a separate process.

Timestamp: 2025-08-09T19:29:36.323Z
Learning: In the DscResource.Test repository, DSC resource attributes are consistently written as `[DscResource(...)]` rather than using variations like `[DscResourceAttribute()]` or fully qualified names like `[Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.DscResource()]`. The Test-FileContainsClassResource function should focus on detecting the standard `[DscResource(...)]` pattern that is actually used in the codebase.

70-74: LGTM!Mandatory parameter test correctly follows the required pattern.
76-94: LGTM!Test correctly validates string ProductVersion conversion to System.Version object.
96-114: LGTM!Test correctly validates System.Version ProductVersion handling.
116-147: LGTM!Tests correctly validate terminating error for invalid version format with proper localized message and error ID GFPV0002.
149-166: LGTM!Test correctly validates error propagation from Get-FileVersion with error ID GFPV0001.
tests/Unit/Public/Get-FileVersion.Tests.ps1 (7)
26-46: LGTM!Setup and cleanup blocks follow the required pattern correctly.
48-81: LGTM!String path tests correctly invoke the public command without InModuleScope wrapping, testing both named parameter and pipeline scenarios.
83-121: LGTM!FileInfo tests correctly use an actual System.IO.FileInfo object (line 86), validating proper parameter type binding for both named and pipeline scenarios.
123-142: LGTM!Directory error test correctly retrieves the localized string in BeforeAll (lines 132-136) and uses it in the assertion without wrapping the test in InModuleScope.
145-157: LGTM!Directory error test correctly retrieves the localized string in BeforeAll (lines 147-151) and uses it in the assertion without wrapping the test in InModuleScope.
198-201: LGTM!Alias test correctly verifies that FullName is an alias for the Path parameter.
188-196: Fix pipeline input parameter assertions to useShould -Contain $true.Lines 190 and 195 use
Should -Not -Contain $falseto test ValueFromPipeline and ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName properties. This pattern is incorrect because:
- If any attribute has the property set to false, the test incorrectly fails
- It doesn't explicitly verify that the property is set to true
The correct pattern is to check if any attribute has the property set to true.
🔎 Proposed fix
It 'Should accept pipeline input for Path parameter' { $parameterInfo = (Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileVersion').Parameters['Path'] - $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipeline | Should -Not -Contain $false + $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipeline | Should -Contain $true } It 'Should accept pipeline input by property name for Path parameter' { $parameterInfo = (Get-Command -Name 'Get-FileVersion').Parameters['Path'] - $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName | Should -Not -Contain $false + $parameterInfo.Attributes.ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName | Should -Contain $true }Based on coding guidelines for parameter property tests.
