Pester Test Adapter fails on Windows with errors in Developer Tools

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 2 comments

Today the Pester Test Adapter started to fail on Windows. Not really sure what actually changed. This worked two days ago.
Using VS Code 1.65.2. But it was released 8 days ago, maybe it updated to that one, between then and now. 🙂

Ignore this. I was trying to run our build script during discovery phase, and that messed up Pester Test Adapter - probably because the build script returned a lot of (for the adapter) unrecognizable output. Removing that line, it worked again. 🙂
