Description

The following cmdlets have the listed parameters that support wildcards. However, those parameters to do have the [SupportsWildcards()] attribute. This makes discovery of wildcard support impossible. PlatyPS cannot create accurate documentation.

Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule

  • CustomRulePath
  • Name

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer

  • CustomRulePath
  • ExcludeRule
  • IncludeRule
  • Path
