Filter tasks based on name comes up empty

[Ronnie Holm]

Suppose I have a psake script with a simple task:

task Clean {
}

Now I can query the script for tasks:

invoke-psake -docs .\Test.ps1

Name Description
---- -----------
Clean

I'd like to query for the Clean task specifically:

invoke-psake -docs .\Master.ps1 | where { $_.Name -eq "Clean" }

But the result comes out empty.

What am I missing here?

Ronnie,

The output generated by the -docs option uses format-table to generate the display so what you want to do is not so simple.  One way to achieve what you want is shown below:

invoke-psake -docs .\Master.ps1 | out-string | % {$_.split("`n")} | ? { $_.startswith("Clean") }
