Invoke-PSRule -InputPath treats input as file unless it ends with [System.IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar

[o-l-a-v]

Description of the issue

Invoke-PSRule -InputPath seems to treat input as file unless it ends with [System.IO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar.

To Reproduce

Inside C:\Users\olav.birkeland\some\directory I have two Bicep compiled files:

• main.bicep
• prod.bicepparam

Invoke-PSRule -InputPath 'C:\Users\olav.birkeland\some\directory' -Module 'PSRule.Rules.Azure' -Format 'File' -Outcome 'Fail','Error' -OutputFormat 'None' -Debug

Gives DEBUG: Target failed If precondition. Without debug it gives no output. While:

Invoke-PSRule -InputPath 'C:\Users\olav.birkeland\some\directory\' -Module 'PSRule.Rules.Azure' -Format 'File' -Outcome 'Fail','Error'

gives

RuleName                            Outcome    Recommendation
--------                            -------    --------------
Azure.Template.UseDescriptions      Fail       Specify descriptions for each resource in the template.

Expected behaviour

Detect whether -InputPath is a file or a directory. For instance [System.IO.File]::Exist('C:\Users\olav.birkeland\some\directory') returns $false.

Error output

Module in use and version:

• PSRule v2.9.0
