Pester tests are failing in standard 'CompleteSample'

[raandree]

Problem description

When creating a 'CompleteSample' with the command

New-SampleModule -DestinationPath d:\ -ModuleType CompleteSample -ModuleAuthor Me -ModuleName Test1 -ModuleDescription None -ModuleVersion 0.1.0 -LicenseType MIT

Pester tests are failing with this error message

[-] Returns a string from Get-PrivateFunction 42ms (39ms|2ms)
    RuntimeException: Should -Invoke: Could not find Mock for command Get-PrivateFunction in module Test1. Was the mock defined? Did you use the same -ModuleName as on the Mock? When using InModuleScope are InModuleScope, Mock and Should -Invoke using the same -ModuleName?

The issue is with the Assert-MockCalled calls. However, the allegedly missing mock is defined:

Mock Get-PrivateFunction { $PrivateData }

I'm not confortable with pester, but my assumption is the code provided in the Get-PrivateFunction.tests.ps1 could not work for private functions.

The first lines are for loading the powershell module we are working on, but as it is a private functions, we can't call it.

$ProjectPath = "$PSScriptRoot\..\..\.." | Convert-Path
$ProjectName = ((Get-ChildItem -Path $ProjectPath\*\*.psd1).Where{
        ($_.Directory.Name -match 'source|src' -or $_.Directory.Name -eq $_.BaseName) -and
        $(try { Test-ModuleManifest $_.FullName -ErrorAction Stop } catch { $false } )
    }).BaseName

Import-Module $ProjectName

I think the solution would be to dot source the private function.
This is where I am stuck now.

The test shpuld use InModuleScope to access the private function.

It 'Should test something` {
    InModuleScope -ModuleName 'MyModuleName' -ScriptBlock {
        $result = Get-MyPrivateFunction
        result | Should -Be 'MyResult'
    }
}

As i understand Pester 5 syntax the Mock needs to go in BeforeEach, at least that is how i got it working with the module sample, so in Get-Something.tests.ps1 i added
Context 'Return values' { BeforeEach { Mock Get-PrivateFunction { $PrivateData } $return = Get-Something -Data 'value' }

[johlju]

The public and private functions tests are fixed in PR #439 and changed to support Pester 5. But there are more tests that has not been fixed yet. Must be fixed in other PRs.
