function Invoke-Vester { <# .SYNOPSIS Test and fix configuration drift in your VMware vSphere environment. .DESCRIPTION Invoke-Vester will run each test it finds and report on discrepancies. It compares actual values against the values you supply in a config file, and can fix them immediately if you include the -Remediate parameter. If you are not already connected to the vCenter server defined in the config file, Invoke-Vester will prompt for credentials to connect to it. Invoke-Vester then calls Pester to run each test file. The test files leverage PowerCLI to gather values for comparison/remediation. .EXAMPLE Invoke-Vester -Verbose Using the default config file at \Vester\Configs\Config.json, Vester will run all included tests inside of \Vester\Tests\. Verbose output will be displayed on the screen. It outputs a report to the host of all passed and failed tests. .EXAMPLE Invoke-Vester -Config C:\Tests\Config.json -Test C:\Tests\ Vester runs all *.Vester.ps1 files found underneath the C:\Tests\ directory, and compares values to the config file in the same location. It outputs a report to the host of all passed and failed tests. .EXAMPLE $DNS = Get-VesterTest -Path Z:\ -Name *dns* PS C:\>(Get-ChildItem -Path Z:\ -Filter *.json).FullName | Invoke-Vester -Test $DNS Get all Vester tests at Z:\ with 'dns' in the name; store in variable $DNS. Then, pipe all *.json files at the root of Z: into the -Config parameter. Each config file piped in will run through all $DNS tests found. .EXAMPLE Invoke-Vester -Test (Get-VesterTest -Scope VM) -Remediate -WhatIf Run Vester with all VM tests included with the module. For all tests that fail against the values in \Configs\Config.json, -Remediate attempts to immediately fix them to match your defined config. -WhatIf prevents remediation, and instead reports what would have changed. .EXAMPLE Invoke-Vester -Config .\Config-Dev.json -Remediate Run all \Vester\Tests\ files, and compare values to those defined within the Config-Dev.json file at the current location. For all failed tests, -Remediate attempts to immediately correct your infrastructure to match the previously defined values in your config file. .EXAMPLE Invoke-Vester -XMLOutputFile .\vester.xml Runs Vester with the default config and test files. Uses Pester to send test results in NUnitXML format to vester.xml at your current folder location. Useful to supply to a report generator for HTML reports. .INPUTS [System.Object] Accepts piped input (optional multiple objects) for parameter -Config .NOTES This command relies on the Pester and PowerCLI modules for testing.
