Mock a function across all tests in Pester?

Question

Is there a way to set the Pester Configuration object so that a function is mocked whenever it is called in any test files while Pester is running?

I have various functions across my scripts that call Write-Progress/Write-Host, etc...

Most of the time I do not want to see this output because it makes the Pester output hard to read, but I would like to be able to turn it on without changing across hundreds or thousands of individual files.

How about this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54162264/global-mock-with-pester-powershell — Daniel, Jun 15 '21 at 06:31

You can add before all in all your test files to mock the functions - also you can write a single function which gets called by beforeall of all the test files
