The build script previously did not build Pester the project unless `-Clean` was specified. This meant that if you had not previously built it with `-Clean`, then the generated files would be missing all of the .Net assemblies, and the `PesterConfiguration.Formats.ps1xml` file, and would prevent running of the `test.ps1` file. This adds a check at a point in the build where we have either cleaned the bin directory already, or it never existed. If it is not there then we clean so that the build occurs.

The check is outdated, I've updated the pipeline. We need to explicitly name the steps in the branch check to avoid making it green and auto merge before azdo computes the steps to run. |
