In each evaluation, you can run all rules or use the IncludeRule and ExcludeRule parameters to run only selected rules. Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer includes special rules to analyze DSC resources. Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer evaluates only .ps1 and .psm1 files. If you specify a path with multiple file types, the .ps1 and .psm1 files are tested; all other file types are ignored. Invoke-ScriptAnalzyer comes with a set of built-in rules, but you can also use customized rules that you write in Windows PowerShell scripts, or compile in assemblies by using C#. Just as with the built-in rules, you can add the ExcludeRule and IncludeRule parameters to your Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer command to exclude or include custom rules. To analyze your script or module, begin by using the Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule cmdlet to examine and select the rules you want to include and/or exclude from the evaluation. You can also include a rule in the analysis, but suppress the output of that rule for selected functions or scripts. This feature should be used only when absolutely necessary. To get rules that were suppressed, run Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer with the SuppressedOnly parameter. For instructions on suppressing a rule, see the description of the SuppressedOnly parameter. The PSScriptAnalyzer module tests the Windows PowerShell code in a script, module, or DSC resource to determine whether, and to what extent, it fulfils best practice standards.

You can use this attribute to suppress a rule for a module, script, class, function, parameter, or line. The first command runs Script Analyzer on the script that contains the Get-Widgets function. The output reports a rule violation, but neither of the suppressed rules is listed, even though they are violated.
