Powershell 7 TEST-JSON

[kvprasoon]

The Test-Json module does not validate a valid Json.
Take a look at this Json, it’s validated from jsonlint but in powershell I get Cannot parse the JSON

PowerShell

Not familiar with Test-Json, but an option would be to just attempt a parse like this:

PowerShell

$json = @" { "name": "json-server", "version": "0.16.1", "description": "Get a full fake REST API with zero coding in less than 30 seconds", "main": "./lib/server/index.js", "bin": "./lib/cli/bin.js", "scripts": { "test": "npm run build && cross-env NODE_ENV=test jest && npm run lint", "start": "babel-node -- src/cli/bin db.json -r routes.json", "lint": "eslint . --ignore-path .gitignore", "fix": "npm run lint -- --fix", "build": "babel src -d lib", "toc": "markdown-toc -i README.md", "postversion": "git push && git push --tags", "prepublishOnly": "npm test && npm run build && pkg-ok" }, "dependencies": { "body-parser": "^1.19.0", "chalk": "^3.0.0", "compression": "^1.7.4", "connect-pause": "^0.1.1", "cors": "^2.8.5", "errorhandler": "^1.5.1", "express": "^4.17.1", "express-urlrewrite": "^1.2.0", "json-parse-helpfulerror": "^1.0.3", "lodash": "^4.17.15", "lodash-id": "^0.14.0", "lowdb": "^1.0.0", "method-override": "^3.0.0", "morgan": "^1.9.1", "nanoid": "^2.1.11", "please-upgrade-node": "^3.2.0", "pluralize": "^8.0.0", "request": "^2.88.2", "server-destroy": "^1.0.1", "update-notifier": "^4.0.0", "yargs": "^15.1.0" }, "devDependencies": { "@babel/cli": "^7.8.4", "@babel/core": "^7.8.4", "@babel/node": "^7.8.4", "@babel/preset-env": "^7.8.4", "cross-env": "^7.0.0", "eslint": "^6.8.0", "eslint-config-prettier": "^6.10.0", "eslint-config-standard": "^14.1.0", "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.20.1", "eslint-plugin-node": "^11.0.0", "eslint-plugin-prettier": "^3.1.2", "eslint-plugin-promise": "^4.2.1", "eslint-plugin-standard": "^4.0.1", "husky": "^4.2.1", "jest": "^25.1.0", "markdown-toc": "^1.2.0", "mkdirp": "^1.0.3", "npm-run-all": "^4.1.5", "os-tmpdir": "^2.0.0", "pkg-ok": "^2.3.1", "prettier": "^1.19.1", "rimraf": "^3.0.2", "server-ready": "^0.3.1", "supertest": "^4.0.2", "temp-write": "^4.0.0" }, "repository": { "type": "git", "url": "git://github.com/typicode/json-server.git" }, "keywords": [ "JSON", "server", "fake", "REST", "API", "prototyping", "mock", "mocking", "test", "testing", "rest", "data", "dummy", "sandbox" ], "author": "Typicode <typicode@gmail.com>", "license": "MIT", "bugs": { "url": "https://github.com/typicode/json-server/issues" }, "homepage": "https://github.com/typicode/json-server", "engines": { "node": ">=10" }, "husky": { "hooks": { "pre-commit": "npm test" } }, "jest": { "testURL": "http://localhost/" } } "@ try { $parsedJson = $json | ConvertFrom-Json -ErrorAction Stop } catch { 'Invalid JSON' }

This uses the built-in JSON parser to attempt to create a valid object in Powershell. If you want to use Test-Json, you’ll have to reach out to the module creator and work with them on any bug.
