A no-inherit comment at the top of a folder's Pester.BeforeContainer.ps1 stops the chain there, so no setup file above that folder applies to it. Same meaning root = true has in editorconfig. New in 6.2. #pspester #powershell

Run.Parallel needed ForEach-Object -Parallel, a PowerShell 7 cmdlet, so Windows PowerShell 5.1 ran sequentially. Pester 6.2 uses the runspace pool API both editions ship, so 5.1 runs parallel. Experimental. #pspester #powershell

BeforeAll threw and Pester blamed a break or continue statement escaping your code? In 6.1 the real exception was discarded. In 6.2 you get the error that actually threw, with the line it came from. #pspester #powershell

In 6.2 every folder down to your test file can have its own Pester.BeforeContainer.ps1, applied outermost first, so tests/unit and tests/integration each add their own setup on top of the shared root one. #pspester #powershell

In 6.2 top level code in Pester.BeforeContainer.ps1 runs during discovery only. To reach your tests it has to sit inside BeforeAll, the same rule your test files follow. Wrap a bare Import-Module or it is not there. #pspester #powershell
