Description
Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring
It is very complicated to get the code coverage for a certan function or class through CLI. Suggest adding a command that can make it less difficult:
Invoke-PesterWithCodeCoverage: runs Pester with required configuration and returns a PesterObject. The command should take an optional PesterConfiguration parameter, but use default if not specified.
Get-CodeCoverageResult: The command should take the parameters:
PesterObject (mandatory)
Name (optional, array of class and function names being tested)
AddSource (optional, only applicable when built module using ModuleBuilder)
Type (optional, either Missed, Executed or All - defaults to Missed only)
Should add a new property Type to the resulting objects with Missed or Executed
Returns the CommandsMissed
$config = New-PesterConfiguration
$config.Run.Path = @('<test paths>')
$config.CodeCoverage.Enabled = $true
$config.CodeCoverage.Path = @('./output/builtModule/<ModuleName>')
$config.CodeCoverage.CoveragePercentTarget = 0
$config.Output.Verbosity = 'None'
$config.Run.PassThru = $true
$result = Invoke-Pester -Configuration $config
# After running above, get all commands that was missed with a reference to the SourceLineNumber in SourceFile.
$result.CodeCoverage.CommandsMissed | Where-Object { $_.Function -eq '<FunctionName>' -or $_.Class -eq '<ClassName>' } | Convert-LineNumber -PassThru | Select-Object Class, Function, Command, SourceLineNumber, SourceFile

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the existing Invoke-Pester configuration and the PesterObject CodeCoverage.CommandsMissed output described in the issue, then determine how the proposed commands and Type, Name, and AddSource parameters should integrate. Done means the requested missed, executed, and filtered coverage results are available through the proposed CLI commands.
