Clean up test code to use -Parameter syntax for Pester tests

Pester documentation for 4.x recommends using Should -Be instead of Should Be syntax. We should update all our tests and documentation to adhere to this setting a good example for the community.

Maybe Meta-Issue? I'd rather break the work apart otherwise we'll get a huge size PR which is hard to review.

I guess Mark Kraus (@markekraus) grabs web cmdlet tests. I could grab something else, rest utility cmdlet tests.

hehe I planned to do this with the web cmdlet tests, yes.

Ilya (@iSazonov) breaking it up makes sense!

I haven't tried it yet but here is a helper script to help with with upgrading to the new syntax. I have seen it being used by the xDFS repo already.

PowerShell#6245 refactor all Pester tests to use v4 Should syntax

PowerShell#6245 refactor all PackageManagement Pester tests to use v4…

PowerShell#6245 refactor PSReadLine Pester tests to use v4 Should syntax

PowerShell#6245 refactor SDK and Provider Pester tests to use v4 Shou…

I have a PR out for these items on the list:
PowerShellGet, PackageManagement, PSReadLine #6488
SDK and Provider tests #6490

I have a PR out for the LocalAccounts module #6499

#6499 was not merged

Ilya (@iSazonov)

Ilya (@iSazonov) Can you reopen?

xtqqczze The Microsoft.PowerShell.LocalAccounts module was removed from PowerShell Core.

Ilya (@iSazonov)

Ilya (@iSazonov) There is an issue to remplement (#4305) so we should still update pester syntax.

xtqqczze

xtqqczze It is impossible to get Microsoft.PowerShell.LocalAccounts module based on other API. We have to implement new module and new tests. (See my WIP PR for AccountManagement module)
