Clear Pester TestDrive manually

Is there a way to manually clear the pester TestDrive, other than something like Remove-Item "TestDrive:\" -Recurse -Force

Solution

  • AFAIK there isn't a function to trigger a clear of TestDrive, so yes I would recommend using something like Remove-Item $TestDrive -Recurse -Force if you had a specific need to.

    However you should also be aware that a TestDrive is scoped to a Describe or Context block and automatically cleaned up at the end of those blocks. So if you want to avoid conflicts between different usages of TestDrive just have those test in different Context blocks.
