This is possible by using the -CustomRulePath parameter and it will then only run those custom rules, if the built-in rules should still be run, then also specify the -IncludeDefaultRules parameter. Custom rules are also supported together with the -IncludeRule and -ExcludeRule parameters. To include multiple custom rules, the -RecurseCustomRulePath parameter can be used.</maml:para> <maml:para>To analyze your script or module, begin by using the Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule cmdlet to examine and select the rules you want to include and/or exclude from the evaluation.</maml:para> <maml:para>You can also include a rule in the analysis, but suppress the output of that rule for selected functions or scripts.

If Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer finds the module in the PowerShell Gallery (www.powershellgallery.com) then it downloads the missing module to a temp path. The temp path is then added to PSModulePath only for duration of the scan. The temp location can be found in $LOCALAPPDATA/PSScriptAnalyzer/TempModuleDir.</maml:para> </maml:description> <command:parameterValue required="false" variableLength="false">SwitchParameter</command:parameterValue> <dev:type> <maml:name>SwitchParameter</maml:name> <maml:uri /> </dev:type> <dev:defaultValue>False</dev:defaultValue> </command:parameter> <command:parameter required="false" variableLength="true" globbing="false" pipelineInput="False" position="named" aliases="cf"> <maml:name>Confirm</maml:name> <maml:description> <maml:para>Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.</maml:para> </maml:description> <command:parameterValue required="false" variableLength="false">SwitchParameter</command:parameterValue> <dev:type> <maml:name>SwitchParameter</maml:name> <maml:uri /> </dev:type> <dev:defaultValue>False</dev:defaultValue> </command:parameter> <command:parameter required="true" variableLength="true" globbing="false" pipelineInput="False" position="named" aliases="none"> <maml:name>IncludeSuppressed</maml:name> <maml:description> <maml:para>Include suppressed diagnostics in output.</maml:para> </maml:description> <command:parameterValue required="false" variableLength="false">SwitchParameter</command:parameterValue> <dev:type> <maml:name>SwitchParameter</maml:name> <maml:uri /> </dev:type> <dev:defaultValue>False</dev:defaultValue> </command:parameter> <command:parameter required="false" variableLength="true" globbing="false" pipelineInput="False" position="named" aliases="wi"> <maml:name>WhatIf</maml:name> <maml:description> <maml:para>Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs.
