Add GitHub Actions annotations for Pester test failures by Copilot · Pull Request #26789 · PowerShell/PowerShell

Copilot

- Added Get-PesterFailureFileInfo helper function to parse stack traces
- Modified Show-PSPesterError to emit GitHub workflow error annotations with file/line info
- Added links to test logs when running in GitHub Actions
- Maintains backward compatibility when not in a GitHub workflow

- Added support for Pester 5 stack trace format (e.g., "at X, /path:line")
- Handle both Unix and Windows paths in all regex patterns
- Verified parsing with multiple test cases including real Pester output

- GitHub Actions expects paths relative to workspace root, not absolute paths
- Added path conversion logic using GITHUB_WORKSPACE environment variable
- Normalizes paths to use forward slashes for consistency
- Handles both Unix and Windows absolute paths
- Relative paths remain unchanged

- Added test in ciModule.Tests.ps1 to demonstrate the annotation feature
- Test intentionally fails to show annotations in CI output
- Verifies relative path conversion and test log links
- Can be removed after feature is verified in actual CI runs

- Removed test from ciModule.Tests.ps1 that manually called Show-PSPesterError
- Created DemoGitHubAnnotations.Tests.ps1 in test/powershell/Modules/
- New test runs through normal Pester execution and Test-PSPesterResults
- Demonstrates actual code path: Pester test fails -> Test-PSPesterResults -> Show-PSPesterError -> annotations
- Tagged with 'CI' so it runs in normal CI workflows
- DELETE DemoGitHubAnnotations.Tests.ps1 after verifying feature in production

- Moved GitHub Actions annotation logic from Show-PSPesterError to process-pester-results.ps1
- process-pester-results.ps1 is the central place where test results are processed in CI
- Removed redundant GITHUB_WORKFLOW check (already in workflow context)
- Show-PSPesterError now only displays error info (backward compatible)
- Get-PesterFailureFileInfo remains in build.psm1 for reuse
