Import-MtMaesterResult

SYNOPSIS

Imports Maester test result JSON files from disk into PowerShell objects.

SYNTAX

Import-MtMaesterResult [-Path] <String[]> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Loads one or more Maester test result JSON files and returns them as an array of single-tenant MaesterResults objects. This is the standard way to load previously saved results for use with Merge-MtMaesterResult, Compare-MtTestResult, or any future command that operates on result objects.

If a loaded JSON file contains a multi-tenant merged format (i.e. a “Tenants” array from a prior Merge-MtMaesterResult call), each tenant is automatically expanded into a separate result object.

Accepts file paths, glob patterns, or directory paths. When a directory is provided, it auto-discovers TestResults-*.json files inside it.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

# Load a single result file
Import-MtMaesterResult -Path ./production.json

EXAMPLE 2

# Load all JSON files matching a glob
Import-MtMaesterResult -Path ./results/*.json

EXAMPLE 3

# Load from a directory (auto-discovers TestResults-*.json)
Import-MtMaesterResult -Path ./test-results/

EXAMPLE 4

# Pipe into Merge for a multi-tenant report
Import-MtMaesterResult -Path *.json | Merge-MtMaesterResult | Get-MtHtmlReport | Out-File report.html
