Quiet mode

[timparkinson]

It would be super nice if invoke-pester supported a quiet flag that turned off the write-host output.

My use case for this is running pester from within a c# app - the write-hosts break this, as there is no writeable host to write to.

Sounds like an easy change. I will add that.
Just out of curiosity could you tell me more about the C# app you use Pester in? What is the purpose of that application? Showing the results of the tests?

[nohwnd]

Implemented the change in the referenced branch. Could you test it please and let me know if it works for you?

[timparkinson]

Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks for the super-speedy response.

The c# I'm calling pester from is just a little ASP.Net endpoint being called from a github enterprise webhook - just running tests against the powershell code I'm pushing into the repo.

@timparkinson Merged in master, not sure when we will release new version.

Btw I assume the reason why host output fails in your tool is that you use the PowerShell object to run the powershell code, right? You could also use the PSHost and implement the PSHostUserInterface and PSHostRawUserInterface to make the host output work. But yeah, it is bit more work, it adds complexity, and is totally unnecessary now that Pester is patched. Just letting you know in case you did not know it's possible and you had the same problem in the future with another project (where they don't respond this fast :))

Cheers for the tip - you're correct I'm just using a powershell object.
