Pester filters when using containers

[kingspider]

Currently trying to use a pester configuration and container. However when using the container the filters (tags) are ignored.

Any advice?

Hi. Can you please provide a sample test file with the necessary tags and the command used to run Pester so we can reproduce?

I've thrown together some sample code of how I've tried to implement the tests. Could be some errors, sorry

Suite.Tests.ps1

param (
   [Parameter(Mandatory)]
   [string] $name
)

Describe "Dynamic Test" {

   Context "Test Suite" {

       It "Should Pass"  -Tag 'Pass' {
           $name | Should -be "Pass"
       }

       It "Should fail" -Tag 'Fail' {
           $name | Should -be "Fail"
       }
   }
}

Run.ps1

# import module before creating the object
Import-Module Pester

$container = New-PesterContainer -Path '$PSScriptRoot/*' -Data @{ name = "Pass"  }

# get default from static property
$configuration = [PesterConfiguration]::Default

$configuration.Run.Path = '$PSScriptRoot/*'
$configuration.Run.Container = $container

$configuration.Filter.Tag = 'Pass'
$configuration.Filter.ExcludeTag = 'Fail'

Invoke-Pester -Configuration $configuration

You need to replace the single quotes with double quotes in both your Path values so $PSScriptRoot can be resolved. Except for that, this works on my machine.

❯ .\Run.ps1

Starting discovery in 1 files.
Discovery found 2 tests in 153ms.
Running tests.
[+] C:\Users\Frode\Desktop\Demo\Suite\Suite.Tests.ps1 895ms (128ms|629ms)
Tests completed in 913ms
Tests Passed: 1, Failed: 0, Skipped: 0, Inconclusive: 0, NotRun: 1

Only one of the tests was executed. If you add $configuration.Output.Verbosity = 'Detailed' you'll see that it was only "Should Pass" that was executed

What error/result do you get that indicates a problem?

Thanks for verifying.

🤦‍♂️after I reviewed my code and I had mistakenly removed a character from the variable name of filters applied.

Glad it got resolved. Thanks for using Pester!
