Sign upPSDesiredStateConfiguration exporting internal functions #7209
Comments
Somehow a number of PSScriptAnalyzer issues snuck in. This fixes them.
The main PSScriptAnalyzer issues needing to be fixed were:
* `PSReviewUnusedParameter` - This one came up a lot due to our heavy
usage of `Resolve-RepositoryElements` and `Resolve-ParameterWithDefaultConfigurationValue`
which both end up referencing their parameters by grabbing them off
the stack. That means that `NoStatus` and `Uri` are frequently
never directly referenced. So, exceptions were added. There were
two cases (in GitHubAnalytics) where there was a false positive due
to PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer#1472
* `PSUseProcessBlockForPipelineCommand` - We had a number of functions
that took pipeline input, but didn't actuall use the `process` block.
This actually caught a bug with `Group-GitHubIssue` and
`Group-GitHubPullRequest`. Added correct `process` block usage for
most of the functions, but removed pipeline support for those where
it didn't actually make sense anymore.
* `PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignments` - These are false positives
in the Pester tests due to the usage of `BeforeAll`. There wasn't
an obvious way to use `SuppressMessageAttribute` in the Pester test,
so I used a hacky workaround to "use" the variable in the `BeforeAll`
block. I could have added the suppression to the top of the file,
but I still want to catch real issues in those files later.
* `PSAvoidOverwritingBuiltInCmdlets` - It turns out that there's a bug
with PSDesiredStateConfiguration in PS Core 6.1.0 where it was exporting
internal functions. This was thus a false-postive flag for Write-Log.
See PowerShell/PowerShell#7209 for more info.
Also, it turns out that `Group-GitHubPullRequest` hadn't actually been
exported, so I fixed that too.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

The
PSDesiredStateConfigurationmodules shipping in PowerShell Core exports every function defined in the module instead of the smaller set that gets exported on Windows PowerShell.Even if this owned by the DSC team, we should track it here until it's fixed in our shipping product.
