Description

Hi All, Just a feedback! It will be good if Script Analyzer throws an exception for using non existing parameters,

Example:
Function Get-Information {
param(
$serviceName
)
Get-Service -Notavailable $serviceName

}

Get-Information -something BITS

  1. Get-Service is a native cmdlet - using non existing parameters
  2. function Get-Information has a parameter $servicename but while calling the function using incorrect param

If we get exceptions for this it will be good for demonstrating PowerShell and script analyzer

Research direction

Start by reading the Script Analyzer entry points for command and function parameter validation, then inspect how existing diagnostics are reported. Determine whether the requested behavior covers both the Get-Service call and the Get-Information invocation, and define tests for each before implementation.
