PowerShell unit tests

[Justin Dearing]

I wrote some unit tests for running the driver in CSharp Powershell:

https://github.com/zippy1981/mongo-csharp-driver/tree/PowerShell

And if you have PowerShell v3 installed:

https://github.com/zippy1981/mongo-csharp-driver/tree/PowerShellv3

Ticket is here:

https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CSHARP-572 

Are there any powershell specific behaviors that should be covered in unit tests?

Also, BSON driver powershell tests  https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/CSHARP-571

Robert/Craig,

Should I continue down this path and add more coverage?

My recommendation is that you wait a bit.

We are working on 2.0 and there may be lots of changes that would affect your work. Some of the changes are aimed at making it easier to provide better support for Powershell users. We are exploring the idea of providing external modules built on top of the core of the C# driver that target specific user environments like Powershell, F#, etc...

Is there a decent chance for an interim 1.6.x or 1.7 release?

There is a ticket that lists non generic classes that were added for PowerShell. I'd be willing to go that far at least in PowerShell test coverage for now if they were likely to make it to one release. If not I'll hold off
