Hi all
I’m assigned to write a bunch of tests on an existing codebase and a number of my tests hang.
The code, simplified to show the issue, is as follows:
File MySharepointModule.ps1 :
function Update-SharepointList {
# do some stuff
Set-PnPListItem -someparams
}
File MyScript.ps1 :
Import-Module -Name '.\Modules\MySharepointModule.ps1'
# do lots of stuff
Set-PnPListItem -someparams
# do lots of stuff
Update-SharepointList
In order to avoid setting up a Sharepoint site, I’m mocking Set-PnPListItem.
Mock Set-PnPListItem {
# store args into a variable
}
It works for the first call. But on the second call, where it’s being called from the module, Set-PnPListItem hangs. It doesn’t even throw an error -just hangs. And if I need to run the tests again, I have to kill the terminal or restart VSCode.
I’ve tried different variations, even leaving the mock empty. Nothing works, it always hangs. The only way I can get it to work is if I mock Update-SharepointList itself, but that means leaving this code untested.
Is this a known issue, behaviour or bug? Are there any workarounds?
Many thanks in advance
Jim
