Steps to reproduce
Create the following two files:
# Pester.ps1
Param (
[Parameter(Mandatory)]
[String]$LogFolder
)
try {
try {
$params = @{
Path = $LogFolder
ItemType = 'Directory'
Force = $true
ErrorAction = 'Stop'
}
$null = New-Item @params
}
Catch {
throw "Failed creating the log folder '$LogFolder': $_"
}
}
catch {
Write-Output $_
}# Pester.Tests.ps1
BeforeAll {
$testScript = $PSCommandPath.Replace('.Tests.ps1', '.ps1')
Mock Write-Output
}
Describe 'test should be' {
It 'green' {
.$testScript -LogFolder 'xxx:://notExistingLocation'
Should -Invoke Write-Output -Exactly 1
}
}From a third file run this code from within vscode:
0..10 | ForEach-Object {
Invoke-Pester '.\Pester\Pester.Tests.ps1' -Output Detailed
}Expected Behavior
All single executed tests should be green
Current Behavior
The first 3 or 5 executions the results are as expected, green. However, after that the result is red and displays the error:
ScriptCallDepthException: The script failed due to call depth overflow.
RuntimeException: The script failed due to call depth overflow.
