The term 'LoadConfiguration' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program.

Interesting. That is the same error that Travis spits out. https://travis-ci.org/psake/psake/jobs/305103591#L531

On my personal mac the tests run clean. In the travis macOS build, Pester runs but fails on a few. Something is afoot.

Yeah, I guess if build.ps1 were a psake file you'd need a older version to bootstrap the build of psake. :-)

I wasn't ready to go that meta yet. 😄

Ah, case-sensitivity on Linux is biting us. These two lines in psm1 should be:

$public = @(Get-ChildItem -Path (Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath 'public/*.ps1') -Recurse -ErrorAction Stop)
$private = @(Get-ChildItem -Path (Join-Path -Path $PSScriptRoot -ChildPath 'private/*.ps1') -Recurse -ErrorAction Stop)

I would recommend using EA stop because the SilentlyContinue was hiding the real error.

Also because we no longer support PS2, can we change the ModuleToProcess in the manifest to RootModule?

With the above fix, only two Pester tests fail on Linux:

    [-] dotNetCore1.1.0_should_pass 324ms
      Expected: {True}
      But was:  {False}
      52:             $psake.build_success | should -be $expectedResult

    [-] dotNetCore2.0_should_pass 378ms
      Expected: {True}
      But was:  {False}
      52:             $psake.build_success | should -be $expectedResult

This is probably something simple to figure out.

This line in tasks.json isn't needed:

    "type": "process",

Each of the tasks is declaring its type as shell.

OK latest changes are looking good on Linux. Just those two test failures - and those are failing because I don't have dotnet installed in WSL.

Installed dotnet, now all Pester tests pass on Linux.

Awesome! I'm going to make your suggested changes re: src and create the Build task.

I agree we should have an about_psake.help.txt file but that shouldn't hold up a 4.7.0 release.

This is looking good! Can you add this to the settings.json file:

  "files.exclude": {
    "**/.git": true,
    "?.?.?/": true
  },

This will prevent workspace searches from find matches in the output folders.

@rkeithhill Done.

Do you want to bump the PSD1 version number in this PR to 4.7.0 or are you waiting to do that in a separate prep-release PR? Other than that, this PR is looking good!

I'll do another PR with the version bump and the final changes to the changelog.
