Research direction

Start by locating the Test Engine dependency declaration for Power Fx 1.2.0 and the code that evaluates formulas and represents test steps. Determine how named formulas, modules, and Dataverse state are currently handled before defining the required scope. Done means the supported Power Fx version and the requested formula and Dataverse scenarios work in tests.

Description

enhancement
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current version of the Test Engine has a dependency on version 1.2.0 of Power Fx.

This limitation prevents us from taking advantage of the latest features and improvements in the Power Fx language and integration capabilities

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the Test Engine to be updated to support the latest version of Power Fx, moving beyond the current dependency on version 1.2.0. This update should include:

  • Enhanced Formulas and Modules Support: Incorporate the latest Power Fx language features and improvements, allowing for more robust and expressive test scripts. This should include support for new formulas and module functionalities introduced in recent Power Fx updates. This could build on Power Fx: Introducing Named Formulas. Consider updates to the yaml format to allow named formulas to be defined and used in test steps.

  • Dataverse Integration: Enable Power Fx functions to interact with Dataverse state within the test environment. This integration would allow tests to dynamically access and manipulate Dataverse data, facilitating more comprehensive and realistic test scenarios. This would then allow functions like Filter(), Lookup() and Patch() to be used to interact with Dataverse.
