Combining PowerShell, Bolt and Puppet Tasks - Part 2

In Part 1 of this blog servies we created and ran a PowerShell script on our local computer, and then turned that into a Bolt Task. We then packaged the module so others could use the task. In Part 2 we going to look at how to test the PowerShell script.

Why test tasks?

So the most obvious question is, why would I want to test my Puppet Tasks? When we first start writing Tasks it is true that testing isn't really at the front our minds. However if you stop and look at the actions we took in Part 1, you can start to see we were actually testing our code, it was just a manual process, for example;

When we wanted to add Task metadata we did the following;

$EventLogFile = "C:\Source\tmp\PE-23563\FromTicket\DEVAPPVD-718_FAIL_SCALE\DEVAPPVD-718_FAIL_SCALE\EventViewer"
#$EventLogFile = "C:\Source\tmp\PE-23563\FromTicket\DEVAPPVD-723_SUCCESS\DEVAPPVD-723_SUCCESS\EventViewer"
Function Get-Stuff {
  # Get Service Start/Stops
  $SearchHash = @{
    'Path' = $EventLogFile + "\System.evtx"
    'ID' = 7036;
  }
  Get-WinEvent -FilterHashtable $SearchHash | ? { ($_.Properties[0].Value -eq 'Marionette Collective Server') -or ($_.Properties[0].Value -eq 'Puppet Agent') -or ($_.Properties[0].Value -eq 'Puppet PXP Agent') }

      enclosure = wmi.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_SystemEnclosure").each.first
      
      enclosure.ChassisTypes  #  ==  [10] for a lpatop
