Edit

The crux of the question is: how do I get access to variable(s) declared in a BeforeDiscovery block in my It blocks that are not passed through by the it -foreach $var construct?

I'm having difficulties adjusting to the Discovery/Run phase and Scoping of Variables in Pester 5

Background

We are moving servers and what I'm trying to test is

1. that every share on serverA also exists on serverB.
2. that every readable share on serverA is also readable on serverB.

Using Pester 5, below code runs as intented but to make it work, I have to retrieve the $toShares twice. Retrieving the shares in my actual tests is using a net view and is a fairly long running operaton.

1. I have to retrieve $toShares in the Discovery phase to construct the $readableFromShares list
2. I have to retrieve an identical $toShares in a BeforeAll block to have them available in the should exists test

Question

How can I best restructure my test so that I only need to retrieve the $toShares once?

I'm trying to create a job role in Ansible to run yum install/update of packages, which will be provided by a 3rd party system as a .yml file to vars directory in a role with following convention: server01.yml, server02.yml, serverX.yml with variable in form packageList_serverNumber: 'list of packages'. This variable will be read using a task:

I am trying to make a shiny app, which consists of a sidebar panel and a plot. In the panel, I have radio buttons to select which ID should be plotted. I also have multiple variables which user can turn off and on using plotly legend.

I want the plot to be empty when app first opens. For that, I am using visible = "legendonly" in my plotly. But then, I want to keep the traces that user already activated (by clicking on them in the legend) when the ID is changed in the sidebar panel; however, since plotly get regenerated every time, again it uses visible = "legendonly" option and that causes the plot to reset.

Is there a way to keep the traces (only the ones that are already selected) when a different option gets selected in the sidebar panel?

See a reproducible example below; please note that I made this example to run locally. You need to load data and packages separately into your R session. Data can be found at the bottom of the question.

I need to send a file type "audio" (mp3) via POST request (I'm using Volley) in Kotlin language for Android. Basically I save a file, and everything is ok (I save it, I can also listen it and it works very well), now I need to send it to my server (e.g. "serverX.com") as ByteArray but I get always "error 502".

I've read also other posts, but I haven't solved anything. I use (and want to use) Volley for this request. I've tried in this way, so using "Files.readAllBytes..." but it doesn't work.

How to loop parametrized parallel stages in Jenkins declarative pipeline? (Or scripted pipeline, if declarative is not able to)

Here is my simple pseudo example. How to loop ('deploy serverN') stages?

Array may have 1..n variables.

I would not like to duplicate code. There must be a way in Jenkins pipelines?? Or should I use matrix. I have tried a few, but not succesfully.
