Mastering Windows PowerShell Scripting - Third Edition

Using custom rules

Custom rules may be used with the CustomRulePath parameter. If the two rules were saved in a Rules.psm1 file, they can be used as follows:

$script = @'function Get-CurrentProcess {    [CmdletBinding()]    param ( )    begin { }    process { }    end {        #        # Get the current process        #        Get-Process -Id $PID     }}'@Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -ScriptDefinition $script -CustomRulePath .\Rules.psm1
