DscExamplesPresent

Severity Level: Information

Description

Checks that DSC examples for given resource are present.

How

To fix a violation of this rule, please make sure Examples directory is present:

  • For non-class based resources it should exist at the same folder level as DSCResources folder.
  • For class based resources it should be present at the same folder level as resource .psm1 file.

The Examples folder should contain a sample configuration for given resource. The filename should contain the resource's name.

Example

Non-class based resource

Let's assume we have non-class based resource with a following file structure:

  • xAzure
    • DSCResources
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.psm1
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.schema.mof

In this case, to fix this warning, we should add examples in a following way:

  • xAzure
    • DSCResources
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.psm1
        • MSFT_xAzureSubscription.schema.mof
    • Examples
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription_AddSubscriptionExample.ps1
      • MSFT_xAzureSubscription_RemoveSubscriptionExample.ps1

Class based resource

Let's assume we have class based resource with a following file structure:

  • MyDscResource
    • MyDscResource.psm1
    • MyDscResource.psd1

In this case, to fix this warning, we should add examples in a following way:

  • MyDscResource
    • MyDscResource.psm1
    • MyDscResource.psd1
    • Examples
      • MyDscResource_Example1.ps1
      • MyDscResource_Example2.ps1
