What's the difference between PesterConfiguration Exit, Throw, and the default?

[codykonior]

I see in New-PesterConfiguration there's a Run.Throw and a Run.Exit, both disabled by default.

What does the default setting mean?

What do the new settings mean?

There's a line of documentation saying that if Exit and Throw are both used then Throw is preferred, but not what the default behavior is, or what either of them affects.

Default is to print report to screen, set $LASTEXITCODE to number of failed tests (this is always done) and proceed with the script that called Invoke-Pester.

If any failed tests/blocks:

• Run.Throw will make Pester throw an exception at the end with "x tests failed..." so you can wrap Invoke-Pester in try/catch.

• Run.Exit will exit the process with number of failed tests as exitcode. Typically used to abort a CI-process.
