Format-Checklist cosmetic error in the test output

[omiossec]

While working on some examples with Requirements I have noticed that output for the test state in on the same line

11:46:46 [   ] Create a folder for the app11:46:46 [   ] Create the json config File

$WebConfigRequirements = @(
    @{
        name = "AppFolder"
        describe = "Create a folder for the app" 
        test = {
            test-path -Path $AppPath
        }
        set = {
            new-item -path $AppPath -ItemType Directory
        }
    },
    @{
        name = "configfile"
        describe = "Create the json config File"
        test = {
            test-path -Path "$($AppPath)config.json"
        }
        set = {
            new-item -Path "$($AppPath)config.json"
        }
    }
)
$WebConfigRequirements | Invoke-Requirement | Format-Checklist

I will make some investigation on it

What terminal app/host do you use? Also what powershell version?

[omiossec]

I use PowerShell core 6.2.1 on Windows

Here's the script I use to reproduce

$ErrorActionPreference = "Stop"
Import-Module Requirements

$AppPath = "c:\work\dotnetbot1\"

$WebConfigRequirements = @(
    @{
        name = "AppFolder"
        describe = "Create a folder for the app" 
        test = {
            test-path -Path $AppPath
        }
        set = {
            new-item -path $AppPath -ItemType Directory
        }
    },
    @{
        name = "configfile"
        describe = "Create the json config File"
        test = {
            test-path -Path "$($AppPath)config.json"
        }
        set = {
            new-item -Path "$($AppPath)config.json"
        }
    }

)

$WebConfigRequirements | Invoke-Requirement | Format-Checklist

As you can see the first time it works but for the second time no newline

it's the same with Windows PowerShell 5.1 on Windows 10

If you had a requirement

@{
        name = "configfile-yaml"
        describe = "Create the yaml config File"
        test = {
            test-path -Path "$($AppPath)config.yaml"
        }
        set = {
            new-item -Path "$($AppPath)config.yaml"
        }
    }

it's worst

I use the version 2.2.2 of the module

My top guess right now is that Format-Checklist has a bug where it only writes the green checkmark line if it Sets, so the Test text is never overwritten with a terminating newline.

I can look into this tonight.

[chriskuech]

So I confirmed my hypothesis, but I also identified more scenarios that are unaccounted for in the current implementation. I will have to determine all the problematic scenarios and probably rewrite much of Format-Checklist.

Had a breakthrough and ended up only needing to add one more event handler. This should be resolved now.
