powershell/PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly

powershell/PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly is a PSScriptAnalyzer diagnostic emitted by tally for PowerShell snippets embedded in Dockerfiles.

Property	Value
Severity	Information
Category	PSScriptAnalyzer
Default	Disabled in tally
Auto-fix	No

tally disables this rule by default for Dockerfile RUN snippets because a RUN executes statements inline rather than defining cmdlets, parameters, or modules with external callers. Re-enable it with include = ["powershell/PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly"] or by setting rules.powershell.PSUseOutputTypeCorrectly.severity = "warning" in .tally.toml.

Description

A command should return the same type as declared in OutputType. You can get more details by running Get-Help about_Functions_OutputTypeAttribute command in PowerShell.

How

Specify that the OutputType attribute lists and the types returned in the cmdlet match.

Examples

Problematic code

function Get-Foo
{
        [CmdletBinding()]
        [OutputType([String])]
        Param(
        )
        return 4
}

Correct code

function Get-Foo
{
        [CmdletBinding()]
        [OutputType([String])]
        Param(
        )

        return 'four'
}
