about_psrule_suppressiongroups SHORT DESCRIPTION Describes PSRule Suppression Groups including how to use and author them. LONG DESCRIPTION PSRule executes rules to validate an object from input. When an evaluating each object, PSRule can use suppression groups to suppress rules based on a condition. Suppression groups use a Selector to determine if the rule is suppressed. DEFINING SUPPRESSION GROUPS Suppression groups can be defined using either YAML or JSON format. A suppression group can be in a standalone file or included in a module. Define suppression groups in `.Rule.yaml` or `.Rule.jsonc` files. Each suppression group may be defined individually or side-by-side with resources such as rules or baselines. Suppression groups can also be defined within `.json` files. We recommend using `.jsonc` to view JSON with Comments in Visual Studio Code. Use the following template to define a suppression group: ```yaml SYNOPSIS: {{ SYNOPSIS }} apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: SuppressionGroup metadata: name: '{{ Name }}' spec: rule: [] if: { } jsonc [ { // Synopsis: {{ Synopsis }} "apiVersion": "github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1", "kind": "SuppressionGroup", "metadata": { "name": "{{ Name }}" }, "spec": { "rule": [], "if": {} } } ] Set the `synopsis` to describe the justification for the suppression. Within the `rule` array, one or more rule names can be used. If no rules are specified, suppression will occur for all rules. Within the `if` object, one or more conditions or logical operators can be used. When the `if` condition is `true` the object will be suppressed for the current rule. ### Documentation Suppression groups can be configured with a synopsis. When set, the synopsis will be included in output for any suppression warnings that are shown. The synopsis helps provide justification for the suppression, in a short single line message. To set the synopsis, include a comment above the suppression group `apiVersion` property. Alternatively, a localized synopsis can be provided in a separate markdown file. See [about_PSRule_Docs](about_PSRule_Docs.md) for details. Some examples of a suppression group synopsis include: - _Ignore test objects by name._ - _Ignore test objects by type._ - _Ignore objects with non-production tag._ ## EXAMPLES ### Example SuppressionGroups.Rule.yaml yaml EXAMPLE SUPPRESSIONGROUPS.RULE.YAML --- SYNOPSIS: IGNORE TEST OBJECTS BY NAME. apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: SuppressionGroup metadata: name: SuppressWithTargetName spec: rule: - 'FromFile1' - 'FromFile2' if: name: '.' in: - 'TestObject1' - 'TestObject2' --- SYNOPSIS: IGNORE TEST OBJECTS BY TYPE. apiVersion: github.com/microsoft/PSRule/v1 kind: SuppressionGroup metadata: name: SuppressWithTestType spec: rule: - 'FromFile3' - 'FromFile5' if: type: '.' equals: 'TestType' ### Example SuppressionGroups.Rule.jsonc jsonc // Example SuppressionGroups.Rule.jsonc [ { // Synopsis: Ignore test objects by name.
