Running Gulp based tests

Running Gulp Based Tests

NetworkingDsc has introduced a number of tests that use JavaScript based modules to validate source files (such as testing markdown files for valid syntax). These tests are orchestrated using Gulp. In order to allow these tests to be run Gulp and its dependencies must first be installed. The required steps are detailed below:

1. Install node.js

2. Open a command prompt and change the directory to the NetworkingDsc repository

3. Run the below commands to install gulp globally and to download the other dependencies needed automatically

   npm install gulp --global

   npm install

Once this is done, the Pester tests that require the gulp tasks to run should be able to complete and provide the appropriate feedback on the build as you develop them.
