Pester BeforeDiscovery Variables Availability Test
I found that when I define variables in BeforeDiscovery, they not always avilable in It and Describe/Context blocks later - it depends on the host where you execute the script. I also found that variables defined in BeforeDiscovery available in InModuleScope only when you run the test in VSCode through its Start Debugging command (F5 key).
I manually tested how different hosts execute these tests. Each run was a clean run, meaning I reopened the applications between runs.
"Invoke-Pester" means I passed a file's path to the Invoke-Pester cmdlet. "Direct" means I just executed a test's .ps1 file, and in VSCode I ran it using the F5 key.
The difference between BD and BA is that the former one uses BeforeDiscovery to define variables, while the other one - BeforeAll.
The difference between INT and EXT is that in INT I run tests in InModuleScope.
