Possible to suppress PSRule output in terminal completely and output as a JSON-file

[lassehastrup]

Hi,

I have a scenario where I want to use Pester to test some functionality in PSRule, and therefore I need the output as JSON.
That's not an issue, and works as expected. However, I would like to NOT receive any form of output from the terminal/pipeline/host when running 'Assert-PSRule' in PowerShell.
I've attempted with most of the options available from the optionFile, but I can't seem to suppress everything and simply just get the output written to a JSON file.

Using variables, Out-Null doesn't work either. My only solution is to start the job in a separate thread using "Start-Job".

Any hints?

Hi @lassehastrup, Thanks for the question. For integrating with PowerShell tools try Invoke-PSRule.

Assert-PSRule is intended to provide a CI/CD friendly output to pipelines as text.

Invoke-PSRule will output native PowerShell objects that can be tested with Pester. It accepts almost identical parameters and supports ps-rule.yaml same as Assert-PSRule.

PSRule for Azure has a number of examples of this. See: https://github.com/Azure/PSRule.Rules.Azure/blob/main/tests/PSRule.Rules.Azure.Tests/Azure.ACR.Tests.ps1

Also note there is a few deprecations for the future v3 release to be aware of: https://microsoft.github.io/PSRule/v3/deprecations/

I hope that answers the question.
