AboutAssignmentAndArithmetic: ExpectedMessage and implicit character ranges in Pester 5 #460

N/A

Context "Additional Information"

In both cases the tests rely on Should -Throw -ExpectedMessage. The current release of PSKoans prefers Pester 4.10.1 which treats -ExpectedMessage an a literal.

In Pester 5 this string supports wildcards, which in turn breaks use of types such as [System.Object[]] in an expected message string.

Oh, hm, never thought of that. That's... annoying. Does pester offer an opt-out for the wildcard behaviour? 😕
