- Introduced `exec.ps1` to handle the execution of Pester tests, including setup, configuration import, and result handling. - Created `init.ps1` for initializing the environment, loading inputs, and configuring settings for Pester execution. - Added `status.ps1` to manage and output the status of test execution, including outcomes and counts of test results. - Implemented logging groups for better organization and readability of the script outputs. - Enhanced error handling and output formatting for improved user experience during test execution.

This release introduces several significant improvements to the GitHub Actions workflows, action implementation, and supporting test infrastructure. The most important changes include a complete overhaul of the release automation, enhancements to the action's prescript functionality, updates to workflow dependencies for improved security and reproducibility, and expanded test scripts for better validation and maintainability.
Workflow and Release Automation Updates:
Replaces
.github/workflows/Auto-Release.ymland.github/release.ymlwith a new.github/workflows/Release.ymlworkflow that is more targeted, triggers only on relevant changes, and uses a pinned version of thePSModule/Release-GHRepositoryaction for deterministic releases.Changes Dependabot update schedule from weekly to daily and introduces a cooldown period, improving dependency management responsiveness.
Action Implementation and Security:
src/prescript.ps1script, which safely handles both inline scripts and file paths. Updates references inaction.ymlto use this new script and pins all GitHub Actions to specific commit SHAs for security and reproducibility.Linter and Workflow Improvements:
Updates linter workflow to use pinned versions of
actions/checkoutandsuper-linter/super-linter, disables certain validations for performance, and removes the.github/linters/.jscpd.jsonconfiguration file as duplicate code checks are now disabled.Adds an exclusion for the
PSAvoidUsingWriteHostrule in PowerShell Script Analyzer configuration, reflecting intentional usage for GitHub Actions output.Documentation and Test Infrastructure:
Enhances the
README.mddocumentation for action inputs and outputs, improving formatting and clarity for users.Adds new PowerShell test scripts (
tests/Prescript.ps1,tests/Show-Status.ps1,tests/Test-ActionResults.ps1) to validate prescript execution, action status reporting, and aggregate test results with summary reporting. Updates test configuration to explicitly set code coverage paths.Detailed list of most important changes:
