QUESTION

Pester 5: Automate It

Asked 2020-Nov-24 at 16:24

For my hobby project ConvertTo-Expression, I am rebuilding my test (Pester 5) script. I would like to automate the It (and possibly the Context part) as there are large number of syntax formats to test for and the function actually roundtrips which &([ScriptBlock]::Create("$Expression")). For a Minimal, Reproducible Example, I am using ConvertTo-Json which roundtrips with ConvertTo-Json.
My goal for this question is basically to create an easy test syntax whether the concerned function correctly roundtrips, e.g.:

Test -Compress '{"a":1}'

Unquoted key rules and best practices

Asked 2020-Jul-08 at 17:30

_{This question is related to:

Unquoted tokens in argument mode involving variable references and subexpressions: why are they sometimes split into multiple arguments?.}

I got this Remove quotes in HashTables Keys when possible request for my ConvertTo-Expression project.

The point is that it is not fully clear to me when keys should actually be quoted in hash tables.
As with argument values, the use of unquoted hash table keys is limited to certain characters.
Several characters (including spaces) are not allowed, e.g.:

I have been playing with AST, but that requires me to build a ScriptBlock first, which is considered unsafe.

This is (fortunately) not true - you can produce an AST from source code without compiling an enclosing [scriptblock] by calling Parser.ParseInput():
