New major release v7

[lucdekens]

A new major release (v7) should be targetted.
This should include:

• closing open issues
  • bug fixes
  • feature requests
• consolidate all pending PRs
• ???

Who will work on this new release?

[lucdekens]

I intend to spend some time on that.

Just a Question, what if we try to move all the checks to Pester Tests and build a Module out of it?

[lucdekens]

We could then rename vCheck to Vester ;-)

Seriously though, there is already an open source project that does exactly that, and more.
See https://github.com/WahlNetwork/Vester

[Outek]

Yeah, right. I already contributed 1-2 simple Tests to Vester. I think, vCheck should look or feel a bit more... modern or how you like to call it. Something like a Container. Run it with a few Variables and right after the checks it displays the results as a static webpage. Maybe with a Universal Dashboard?

[lucdekens]

All good ideas.
We plan on presenting a kind of roadmap soon-ish (probably early 2020), with some mock-ups.

A Dashboard might be nice, on the other hand, we don't want to make vCheck too dependent on other products/modules.
We could consider an additional output format that could be consumed by other products, like Universal Dashboard.

Keep those ideas/suggestions coming!

A dashboard feels like feature creep to me. A more modular, "PowerShelly", approach might be to have an option to dump all the data in one or more CSV(s) or other dashboard friendly file format that your dashboard of choice can consume.

Is this project discontinued now? Anyone know of any alternatives?

[lucdekens]

No, it is not.
It is delayed because ... 2020 :-(

[paulharman]

That's fair xD
