Customer reported that older versions of PowerShell did not contain the UseBasicParsing argument. Template was coded to add argument for PowerShell versions less than or equal to version 5.
Results
The change checks to see if the cmdlet has the UseBasicParsing argument. If it does, it will be added. This should cover the scenarios of older versions of Powershell as well as when the argument is officially removed as it's marked as deprecated.
Before
The template would fail for customers trying to run on version 4 of PowerShell (Windows 2012 R2).
After
The Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet now completes successfully on PowerShell where the argument is present as well as missing.
Pre-requisites
[X] Id should be a GUID that is not 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
NOTE If you are modifying an existing step template, please make sure that you do not modify the Id property (updating the Id will break the Library sync functionality in Octopus).
[X] Version should be incremented, otherwise the integration with Octopus won't update the step template correctly
[X] Parameter names should not start with $
[X] Step template parameter names (the ones declared in the JSON, not the script body) should be prefixed with a namespace so that they are less likely to clash with other user-defined variables in Octopus (see this issue). For example, use an abbreviated name of the step template or the category of the step template).
[X] LastModifiedBy field must be present, and (optionally) updated with the correct author
[ ] If a new Category has been created:
[ ] An image with the name {categoryname}.png must be present under the step-templates/logos folder
[ ] The switch in the humanize function in gulpfile.babel.js must have a case statement corresponding to it
