Summary

Added -Force parameter to Resolve-Path and Convert-Path cmdlets to support wildcard hidden files. This new parameter should be documented in help page.

Details

Example 1

HIdden files(in this case .git folder) are not shown without -Force. This is current behaviour.

> Resolve-Path -Path .git*

Path
----
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.github
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitattributes
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitignore

> Convert-Path -Path .git*
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.github
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitattributes
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitignore

Example 2

All HIdden files(in this case including .git folder) are shown with -Force. This is new behaviour.

> Resolve-Path -Path .git* -Force

Path
----
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.git
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.github
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitattributes
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitignore

> Convert-Path -Path .git* -Force
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.git
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.github
C:\Users\armaa\Documents\git-repos\PowerShell\.gitattributes
