PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly: Fails when using multiple output types

Steps to reproduce

The following code snippet returns to objects with different types.

function Get-Function
{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [OutputType(
        [System.String],
        [System.UInt32])]
    param ()

    return [System.String] 'hello', [System.UInt32] 1
}

$myString, $myInt = Get-Function
$myString.GetType()
$myInt.GetType()

But when running the analyzer on this it hits rule PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly .

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -ScriptDefinition @'
function Get-Function
{
    [CmdletBinding()]
    [OutputType(
        [System.String],
        [System.UInt32])]
    param ()

    return [System.String] 'hello', [System.UInt32] 1
}
'@

Expected behavior

No rule should be hit since the OutputType contains two output types which is valid syntax according to this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_functions_outputtypeattribute?view=powershell-5.1

Two or more output types could equal to System.Object[]. But preferably it should see if there are multiple output types, and then see how many return values there are.

Actual behavior

Commencez par reproduire l’exemple avec Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer et suivez la manière dont la règle PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly traite plusieurs valeurs de OutputType et les valeurs renvoyées. C’est terminé lorsque la fonction valide ne produit plus de diagnostic et qu’une couverture de régression a été ajoutée partout où se trouvent les tests de cette règle.
