Get-FilePathMajorVersion#2375Conversation
WalkthroughRemoved the exported helper Get-FilePathMajorVersion from SqlServerDsc.Common; updated DSC resources and unit tests to call Get-FileVersion(ProductVersion).Split('.')[0] for SQL major version; added retry loops to Reporting Services integration tests and added -UseBasicParsing to several Invoke-WebRequest calls.

source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlSetup/DSC_SqlSetup.psm1 (1)
212-223: Major-version detection via Get-FileVersion.ProductVersion looks correct; consider explicit integer castingUsing
Get-FileVersionin place of the old helper to derive the major version fromsetup.exeis a good consolidation on DscResource.Common:
- In
Get-TargetResource/Set-TargetResource, whenSqlVersionis not supplied, you now do:
($SqlVersion = (Get-FileVersion -Path $pathToSetupExecutable).ProductVersion.Split('.')[0]), and elsewhere treat$SqlVersionas a major version (e.g., passing it toGet-ServiceNamesForInstance,Get-InstalledSharedFeatures,Test-IsSsmsInstalled, and in numeric comparisons like-ge 13and-ge 16).- In
Test-TargetResource’s upgrade block,installerSqlVersionis derived from the same pattern and compared to the integer returned byGet-SqlInstanceMajorVersion.PowerShell will coerce the split string to
Int32wherever the target parameter is typed as[int]or when doing numeric comparisons, so behavior should remain equivalent to the previous “major-version helper” implementation.If you want to make the intent and type behavior more explicit (optional), you could wrap the split result in
[int](...)once when computing$SqlVersion/$installerSqlVersionso it’s always stored as an integer, rather than relying on implicit coercion at each usage site.Also applies to: 1079-1090, 2364-2376
source/DSCResources/DSC_SqlWindowsFirewall/DSC_SqlWindowsFirewall.psm1 (1)
82-82: Consider adding error handling for version extraction.While the refactoring is correct, the version extraction logic assumes
Get-FileVersionreturns a valid result with a populatedProductVersionproperty. Consider adding error handling to provide a clearer error message if the version cannot be determined.🔎 Example with error handling
- $sqlVersion = (Get-FileVersion -Path $pathToSetupExecutable).ProductVersion.Split('.')[0] + $fileVersionInfo = Get-FileVersion -Path $pathToSetupExecutable + + if (-not $fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion) + { + $errorMessage = $script:localizedData.MissingProductVersion -f $pathToSetupExecutable + New-InvalidOperationException -Message $errorMessage + } + + $sqlVersion = $fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion.Split('.')[0]Note: This would require adding the corresponding localized string key.
Also applies to: 408-408

File: source/Private/Test-FileContainsClassResource.ps1:44-56
Timestamp: 2025-08-09T19:29:36.323Z
Learning: In the DscResource.Test repository, DSC resource attributes are consistently written as `[DscResource(...)]` rather than using variations like `[DscResourceAttribute()]` or fully qualified names like `[Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.DscResource()]`. The Test-FileContainsClassResource function should focus on detecting the standard `[DscResource(...)]` pattern that is actually used in the codebase.

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 the UpdateServicesDsc repository, MOF-based DSC resources follow a minimal comment-based help convention that includes only .SYNOPSIS and .PARAMETER sections. The .DESCRIPTION, .INPUTS, and .OUTPUTS sections are intentionally omitted, even though functions have [OutputType()] attributes. This is consistent across all existing DSC resources: MSFT_UpdateServicesServer, MSFT_UpdateServicesCleanup, and MSFT_UpdateServicesApprovalRule.

Learning: In SqlServerDsc integration tests, when connecting via Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine using a local Windows account (e.g., 'SqlAdmin'), use the plain username format without computer/domain prefix. This is Windows Authentication with a local account. The NetBIOS format (e.g., 'COMPUTER\SqlAdmin') is only used for SqlSysAdminAccounts during SQL Server setup/rebuild and will throw an exception if used with Connect-SqlDscDatabaseEngine for local Windows accounts.

Learning: Test-DscConfiguration cmdlet returns string values 'True' or 'False', not boolean values. Therefore, Should -Be 'True' is correct, and Should -BeTrue would be incorrect for this cmdlet.

Learning: The PowerShell guideline "Use -BeTrue/-BeFalse; never use -Be $true/-Be $false" applies only when the actual return value is a boolean. When a cmdlet returns string values like 'True' or 'False', Should -Be 'True' is the appropriate assertion.

Learning: In the ActiveDirectoryDsc project, HQRM (High Quality Resource Module) tests must run in PowerShell 5 (Windows PowerShell) using `pwsh: false` in the Azure Pipelines configuration, while unit tests can run in PowerShell 7 (PowerShell Core) with `pwsh: true`. This differentiation is intentional due to HQRM's specific requirements and dependencies on Windows PowerShell.

📓 Common learnings
Learnt from: johlju
Repo: dsccommunity/DscResource.Test PR: 167
File: source/Private/Test-FileContainsClassResource.ps1:44-56
Timestamp: 2025-08-09T19:29:36.323Z
Learning: In the DscResource.Test repository, DSC resource attributes are consistently written as `[DscResource(...)]` rather than using variations like `[DscResourceAttribute()]` or fully qualified names like `[Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.DscResource()]`. The Test-FileContainsClassResource function should focus on detecting the standard `[DscResource(...)]` pattern that is actually used in the codebase.

File: .github/instructions/dsc-community-style-guidelines-pester.instructions.md:35-35
Timestamp: 2025-08-28T15:44:12.628Z
Learning: The SqlServerDsc repository uses RequiredModules.psd1 to specify Pester with Version = 'latest' and AllowPrerelease = $true, ensuring the latest Pester version (well beyond 5.4) is available, which supports Should -Invoke syntax and other modern Pester features.

Timestamp: 2025-10-04T21:33:23.022Z
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.

tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRS.Integration.Tests.ps1 (2)
185-227: LGTM! Robust retry logic for SSRS readiness polling.The retry pattern correctly handles transient 503 errors and connection failures during SSRS startup. The 2-minute total timeout (24 × 5s) is reasonable for service initialization.
Consider extracting this retry pattern into a helper function (e.g.,
Wait-ForWebRequestSuccess) inCommonTestHelper.psm1to reduce duplication across the 6 occurrences in both test files.

$webRequestReportServeron line 250 is used for the Reports site request. Consider renaming to$webRequestReportsfor clarity.tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRS_Default.Integration.Tests.ps1 (1)

Learnt from: dan-hughes
Repo: dsccommunity/UpdateServicesDsc PR: 85
File: source/en-US/UpdateServicesDsc.strings.psd1:1-2
Timestamp: 2025-10-04T21:33:23.022Z
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.

184-226: LGTM! Same robust retry pattern as DSC_SqlRS.Integration.Tests.ps1.Retry logic is correct and consistent with the other test file. As noted in the other file, this pattern could be extracted to a shared helper function.
416-458: LGTM! Appropriate retry logic after SSL configuration change.The RestoreToNoSsl context may also trigger SSRS service changes, so retry logic is warranted here too.
472-514: LGTM! Consistent retry pattern.Same variable naming note applies (line 481), but functionally correct.

tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRS_Default.Integration.Tests.ps1 (2)
184-233: Extract duplicated retry logic into a helper function.The retry logic for endpoint accessibility checks is duplicated across four locations with only the URI and endpoint name varying. This creates maintenance burden—any bug fix or enhancement must be applied in all four places.
🔎 Proposed refactor to extract common retry logic
Consider creating a helper function in the test file or in CommonTestHelper.psm1:
function Test-SqlReportingServicesEndpoint { [CmdletBinding()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.String] $Uri, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [System.String] $EndpointName ) $maxRetries = 24 $retryIntervalSeconds = 5 $webRequestStatusCode = 0 for ($attempt = 1; $attempt -le $maxRetries; $attempt++) { try { $webRequest = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $Uri -UseDefaultCredentials -ErrorAction Stop $webRequestStatusCode = $webRequest.StatusCode -as [int] if ($webRequestStatusCode -eq 200) { Write-Verbose -Message "$EndpointName is accessible (attempt $attempt)." -Verbose break } } catch { $webRequestResponse = $_.Exception.Response $webRequestStatusCode = $webRequestResponse.StatusCode -as [int] if ($webRequestStatusCode -eq 0 -and $attempt -lt $maxRetries) { Write-Verbose -Message "$EndpointName not yet accessible (attempt $attempt of $maxRetries). Waiting $retryIntervalSeconds seconds..." -Verbose Start-Sleep -Seconds $retryIntervalSeconds } elseif ($webRequestStatusCode -eq 0 -and $attempt -eq $maxRetries) { Write-Verbose -Message "$EndpointName still not accessible after $maxRetries attempts. Re-throwing exception for diagnostics." -Verbose throw $_ } elseif ($webRequestStatusCode -ne 0) { Write-Verbose -Message "$EndpointName returned HTTP status code $webRequestStatusCode (attempt $attempt)." -Verbose break } } } return $webRequestStatusCode }Then replace each retry block with:
$webRequestStatusCode = Test-SqlReportingServicesEndpoint -Uri $reportServerUri -EndpointName 'ReportServer' $webRequestStatusCode | Should -BeExactly 200Also applies to: 246-295, 428-477, 490-539
255-255: Use descriptive variable name for Reports endpoint.The variable
$webRequestReportServeris misleading when used with the Reports endpoint URI. This appears to be a copy-paste artifact.🔎 Suggested fix
- $webRequestReportServer = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $reportsUri -UseDefaultCredentials -ErrorAction Stop + $webRequestReports = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $reportsUri -UseDefaultCredentials -ErrorAction Stop # if the request finishes successfully this should return status code 200. - $webRequestStatusCode = $webRequestReportServer.StatusCode -as [int] + $webRequestStatusCode = $webRequestReports.StatusCode -as [int]Apply the same change at both lines 255-257 and lines 499-501.
Also applies to: 499-499
tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRS.Integration.Tests.ps1 (1)
186-187: Consider consolidating retry configuration variables.The retry configuration variables (
$maxRetriesand$retryIntervalSeconds) are defined identically in both test blocks. Consider defining them once in theBeforeAllblock at line 123 to reduce duplication.Example consolidation
In the
BeforeAllblock starting at line 123, add:# Retry configuration for endpoint readiness checks $maxRetries = 24 $retryIntervalSeconds = 5Then remove the duplicate definitions at lines 186-187 and 248-249.

$a = 1 + 2- One space between type and variable:
[String] $name- One space between keyword and parenthesis:
if ($condition)- No spaces on empty lines
- Try to limit lines to 120 characters
Braces
- Newline before opening brace (except variable assignments)
- One newline after opening brace
- Two newlines after closing brace (one if followed by another brace or continuation)
Quotes
- Use single quotes unless variable expansion is needed:
'text'vs"text $variable"Arrays
- Single line:
@('one', 'two', 'three')- Multi-line: each element on separate line with proper indentation
- Do not use the unary comma operator (
,) in return statements to force

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.

131-131: LGTM! Consider adding-ErrorAction 'Stop'for immediate failure detection.The addition of
-UseBasicParsingis appropriate for CI environments and addresses PowerShell 5.1 security requirements. However, to ensure download failures surface immediately (per integration test guidelines), consider adding-ErrorAction 'Stop'.🔎 Proposed enhancement

147-147: LGTM! Consider adding-ErrorAction 'Stop'and output suppression for consistency.The addition of
-UseBasicParsingis appropriate for CI environments. However, for consistency with Line 131 and to ensure failures surface immediately, consider:
- Adding
-ErrorAction 'Stop'per integration test guidelines- Piping to
Out-Nullto match the pattern used in Line 131🔎 Proposed enhancement
- Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $script:mockSourceMediaUrl -OutFile $ConfigurationData.AllNodes.ImagePath -UseBasicParsing + Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $script:mockSourceMediaUrl -OutFile $ConfigurationData.AllNodes.ImagePath -UseBasicParsing -ErrorAction 'Stop' | Out-Nulltests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRSSetup.Integration.Tests.ps1 (1)
90-98:Invoke-WebRequestchange is good; consider adding-ErrorAction 'Stop'Adding
-UseBasicParsingto the download call is appropriate for non‑interactive CI runs and aligns with the integration-test adjustments elsewhere in this PR.To match the integration test guidelines (“Use
-ErrorAction 'Stop'on commands so failures surface immediately”), you might also add-ErrorAction 'Stop'here so HTTP failures are guaranteed to terminate the test run:Suggested tweak
- Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $script:mockSourceMediaUrl -OutFile $ConfigurationData.AllNodes.MediaPath -UseBasicParsing + Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $script:mockSourceMediaUrl -OutFile $ConfigurationData.AllNodes.MediaPath -UseBasicParsing -ErrorAction 'Stop'tests/Integration/Resources/DSC_SqlRS_Default.Integration.Tests.ps1 (1)
255-255: Consider renaming the variable for clarity.The variable
$webRequestReportServeris used for the Reports site response, which is misleading. Consider renaming it to$webRequestor$webRequestResponsefor consistency.Note: This becomes moot if the retry logic is extracted into a helper function as suggested above.

- All public commands and class-based resources must have integration tests
- Use Pester v5 syntax only
- Test code only inside
Describeblocks- Assertions only in
Itblocks- Never test verbose messages, debug messages or parameter binding behavior
- Pass all mandatory parameters to avoid prompts
Requirements
- Inside
Itblocks, assign unused return objects to$null(unless part of pipeline)- Tested entity must be called from within the
Itblocks- Keep results and assertions in same
Itblock- Avoid try-catch-finally for cleanup, use
AfterAllorAfterEach- Avoid unnecessary remove/recreate cycles
Naming
- One
Describeblock per file matching the tested entity nameContextdescriptions start with 'When'Itdescriptions start with 'Should', must not contain 'when'- Mock variables prefix: 'mock'
Structure & Scope
- Public commands: Never use
InModuleScope(unless retrieving localized strings or creating an object using an internal class)- Private functions/class resources: Always use
InModuleScope- Each class method = separate
Contextblock- Each scenario = separate
Contextblock- Use nested
Contextblocks for complex scenarios- Mocking in
BeforeAll(BeforeEachonly when required)- Setup/teardown in
BeforeAll,BeforeEach/AfterAll,AfterEachclose to usage- Spacing between blocks, arrange, act, and assert for readability
Syntax Rules
- PascalCase:
Describe,Context,It,Should,BeforeAll,BeforeEach,AfterAll,AfterEach- Use
-BeTrue/-BeFalsenever-Be $true/-Be $false- Never use
Assert-MockCalled, useShould -Invokeinstead- No
Should -Not -Throw- invoke commands directly- Never add an empty
-MockWithblock- Omit
-MockWithwhen returning$null- Set

File: source/en-US/UpdateServicesDsc.strings.psd1:1-2
Timestamp: 2025-10-04T21:33:23.022Z
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.

File: source/en-US/SqlServerDsc.strings.psd1:489-498
Timestamp: 2025-12-10T20:07:45.822Z
Learning: In SqlServerDsc (and DSC Community modules), localization string error codes may have gaps in their sequential numbering (e.g., RSDD0001, RSDD0003) when strings are removed over time. Never suggest renumbering localization keys to make them sequential. QA tests safeguard against missing or extra localization string keys.

Timestamp: 2025-08-28T15:44:12.628Z
Learning: The SqlServerDsc repository uses RequiredModules.psd1 to specify Pester with Version = 'latest' and AllowPrerelease = $true, ensuring the latest Pester version (well beyond 5.4) is available, which supports Should -Invoke syntax and other modern Pester features.

File: azure-pipelines.yml:104-104
Timestamp: 2025-08-10T15:11:52.897Z
Learning: In the ActiveDirectoryDsc project, HQRM (High Quality Resource Module) tests must run in PowerShell 5 (Windows PowerShell) using `pwsh: false` in the Azure Pipelines configuration, while unit tests can run in PowerShell 7 (PowerShell Core) with `pwsh: true`. This differentiation is intentional due to HQRM's specific requirements and dependencies on Windows PowerShell.

Repo: dsccommunity/SqlServerDsc PR: 2136
File: source/suffix.ps1:24-24
Timestamp: 2025-08-17T10:48:15.384Z
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.

Timestamp: 2025-08-09T19:29:36.323Z
Learning: In the DscResource.Test repository, DSC resource attributes are consistently written as `[DscResource(...)]` rather than using variations like `[DscResourceAttribute()]` or fully qualified names like `[Microsoft.PowerShell.DesiredStateConfiguration.DscResource()]`. The Test-FileContainsClassResource function should focus on detecting the standard `[DscResource(...)]` pattern that is actually used in the codebase.
