Issue Description
When writing pester tests it is common to use an array of HashTables to supply to It -TestCases:
Describe "Tests" {
BeforeAll {
$TestCases = @(
@{ Item1 ='11111'; Item2 = '11111111'; Item3 = '111111111111'; Item4 = '111111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='1111'; Item2 = '1111111'; Item3 = '11111111111'; Item4 = '11111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='111111'; Item2 = '1111111'; Item3 = '1111111111111'; Item4 = '11111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='1111'; Item2 = '111111111'; Item3 = '11111111111'; Item4 = '1111111111111' }
)
}
It "Uses TestCases" -TestCases $TestCases {
param($Item1, $Item2, $Item3, $Item4)
<# do test #>
}
}To improve readability of that array of HashTables, they are often formatted with a vertical alignment on the keys and values like so:
@(
@{ Item1 ='11111'; Item2 = '11111111'; Item3 = '111111111111'; Item4 = '111111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='1111'; Item2 = '1111111'; Item3 = '11111111111'; Item4 = '11111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='111111'; Item2 = '1111111'; Item3 = '1111111111111'; Item4 = '11111111111' }
@{ Item1 ='1111'; Item2 = '111111111'; Item3 = '11111111111'; Item4 = '1111111111111' }
)However, the auto formatting options always remove the extra white space in the HashTables. This means that when formatting a file you either have to lose the alignment or discard the chunk in git before comiting.
Ideally, I'd like to have a way to auto-format arrays of hashtables like that, but I'm having trouble even coming up with the words to describe what I'm looking for with out using a visual reference.
At least, I could be happy with a formatting option to the tune of "Ignore white space in single-line HashTables". That would allow for manual formatting of the HashTables to not be overwritten by auto-formatting so the rest of the file can benefit from auto-formatting.
