Get-SqlDscSetupLog: Retrieve SQL Server setup bootstrap log#2314Conversation
WalkthroughAdds a new public PowerShell command Get-SqlDscSetupLog that finds and returns the most recent SQL Server setup bootstrap Summary.txt under a specified root path. Integration and unit tests were added/updated to use this command; localized strings, a CHANGELOG entry, and CI registration were included. Changes

102-106: Incomplete centralization: one catch block still uses manual Summary.txt lookupThe change in
Initialize-SqlDscRebuildDatabase.Integration.Tests.ps1(lines 102–106, 162–166, 218–222) correctly centralizes setup log retrieval viaGet-SqlDscSetupLog. However,Install-SqlDscServer.Integration.PrepareImage.Tests.ps1(lines 63–76) still manually constructs the Summary.txt path withGet-ChildItemandWhere-Objectfiltering. This should be refactored to useGet-SqlDscSetupLogfor consistency:# Currently (lines 63–76): $summaryFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server' -Filter 'Summary.txt' -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object { $_.FullName -match '\\Setup Bootstrap\\Log\\' } | Sort-Object -Property LastWriteTime -Descending | Select-Object -First 1 # Should be: $summaryLogContent = Get-SqlDscSetupLog -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue if ($summaryLogContent) { Write-Verbose "==== SQL Server Setup Log ====" -Verbose $summaryLogContent | Write-Verbose -Verbose Write-Verbose "==== End of Setup Log ====" -Verbose }
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
tests/Unit/Public/Get-SqlDscSetupLog.Tests.ps1 (2)
219-222: Consider simplifying the parameter mandatory check.The current approach checks if
$falseis contained in the Attributes collection, which works but is indirect. Consider checking the parameter's type or using a more straightforward assertion.Apply this diff for a clearer check:
It 'Should have Path as an optional parameter' { $commandInfo = Get-Command -Name 'Get-SqlDscSetupLog' - $commandInfo.Parameters['Path'].Attributes.Mandatory | Should -Contain $false + $parameterInfo = $commandInfo.Parameters['Path'] + $parameterInfo.Attributes.Where({$_ -is [System.Management.Automation.ParameterAttribute]}).Mandatory | Should -Not -Contain $true }
52-58: Prefer [PSCustomObject] for creating mock objects.The current approach using
New-ObjectandAdd-Memberworks correctly but[PSCustomObject]is more concise and idiomatic in PowerShell.Apply this diff:
Mock -CommandName Get-ChildItem -MockWith { - $mockFileInfo = New-Object -TypeName PSObject - $mockFileInfo | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'FullName' -Value 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt' - $mockFileInfo | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'LastWriteTime' -Value ([DateTime]::Now) - - return $mockFileInfo + return [PSCustomObject]@{ + FullName = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt' + LastWriteTime = [DateTime]::Now + } }Apply similar changes to other mock blocks at lines 114-122 and 182-190.

63-63: LGTM! Diagnostic output centralized effectively.The change successfully replaces inline log extraction with the new Get-SqlDscSetupLog command. The -Verbose flags ensure diagnostic output is visible when setup fails, which is the intended use case for troubleshooting integration test failures.
source/en-US/SqlServerDsc.strings.psd1 (1)
530-535: LGTM! Localization strings follow guidelines.The localization keys correctly follow the
Verb_FunctionName_Actionnaming pattern and include proper string IDs in the(GSDSL####)format. All five strings are referenced in the Get-SqlDscSetupLog implementation.Based on coding guidelines
source/Public/Get-SqlDscSetupLog.ps1 (4)
38-47: LGTM! Function structure follows guidelines.The function declaration correctly includes [CmdletBinding()], appropriate [OutputType()], and a well-formatted parameter block with a sensible default value for the SQL Server installation path.
61-64: LGTM! File search logic is correct.The search logic appropriately uses recursion, filters for the correct path pattern, sorts by LastWriteTime to find the most recent log, and handles errors gracefully with SilentlyContinue.
68-77: LGTM! Output generation properly uses localized strings.The output structure includes a clear header, log content, and footer, all using properly localized strings. The verbose message helps with diagnostics when the log file is found.
78-83: LGTM! Error handling is appropriate.Returning
$nullwhen no log file is found is appropriate for a diagnostic helper command. The verbose message provides clear feedback about what was searched for.

53-59: Refactor or remove duplicate test.This test is redundant with the first test (lines 34-51) — both invoke
Get-SqlDscSetupLogwithout parameters and verify non-null results. The comment "Should return the same result as without parameters" doesn't add clarity since the first test also uses no parameters. Consider removing this test or modifying it to test a distinct scenario (e.g., error handling for non-existent paths).
69-76: Refactor or remove duplicate test.This test is largely redundant with the first test (lines 34-51), which already verifies non-null results and validates content. The only additional check here is
$logString.Length | Should -BeGreaterThan 0, but this is implied by the non-null and pattern-matching assertions in test 1. Consider removing this test or modifying it to cover a distinct scenario.

Learning: In Pester tests, never gate assertions with conditional logic (if/else blocks). Each test should directly assert the expected outcome. If a test needs to handle multiple scenarios, split it into separate test cases instead.

61-67: LGTM - Custom path parameter test is appropriate.The test correctly verifies that the

Timestamp: 2025-08-15T05:37:29.255Z
Learning: In PowerShell Pester tests, when piping an array to `Should -BeOfType`, PowerShell's pipeline automatically unrolls the array and checks the type of each individual element, not the array type itself. This means `$result | Should -BeOfType 'SomeType'` for an array will validate every element's type without needing the `-All` modifier.

Learning: In UpdateServicesDsc (and similar DSC modules), the module-level localization file (source/en-US/<ModuleName>.strings.psd1) can be empty when DSC resources have their own localization files in source/DSCResources/<ResourceName>/en-US/DSC_<ResourceName>.strings.psd1. Automated tests verify localization completeness for resources. Don't flag empty module-level localization files as issues when resources have separate localization.

Learning: In source/suffix.ps1, the Write-Verbose message in the catch block for Import-SqlDscPreferredModule does not need localization because the exception message from Import-SqlDscPreferredModule is already localized by that command, making it an edge case exception to the localization guidelines.

57-61: Consider using [PSCustomObject] for mock objects.The test uses
New-Object -TypeName PSObjectwithAdd-Member, which works but is verbose. Modern PowerShell syntax with[PSCustomObject]is more concise.Apply this diff:
- $mockFileInfo = New-Object -TypeName PSObject - $mockFileInfo | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'FullName' -Value 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt' - $mockFileInfo | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name 'LastWriteTime' -Value ([DateTime]::Now) - - return $mockFileInfo + return [PSCustomObject]@{ + FullName = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Setup Bootstrap\Log\Summary.txt' + LastWriteTime = [DateTime]::Now + }Apply similar changes at lines 122-130 and 248-256.
285-288: Prefer-Not -Contain $trueover-Contain $false.Line 287 uses
Should -Contain $falsewhich includes the literal$false. While this works for checking array membership, usingShould -Not -Contain $trueis clearer and avoids literal boolean values.Apply this diff:
It 'Should have Path as an optional parameter' { $commandInfo = Get-Command -Name 'Get-SqlDscSetupLog' - $commandInfo.Parameters['Path'].Attributes.Mandatory | Should -Contain $false + $commandInfo.Parameters['Path'].Attributes.Mandatory | Should -Not -Contain $true }

setup failures. Integration tests have been updated to use this command instead
of duplicated error handling code issue #2311.
