$test_assemblies = (Get-ChildItem "$src_folder" -Recurse -Include *Test.dll, *Tests.dll)

this will select everything as expected but I want to exclude some folder types
*\obj
*\package
*\debug

Please Help!

Get-Item -Path C:\MyPath -Exclude obj, package, debug -Include *Test.dll, *Tests.dll | Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { -not $_.PSIsContainer }

Try this:

$test_assemblies = (Get-ChildItem "$src_folder" -Recurse -Include *Test.dll,*Tests.dll |? { $_.FullName.Contains("\bin\") })

This will filter out anything that doesn't contain the string "\bin" in its path...

@alastair that certainly fixed it

@howard thanks for that script - that was useful in another I was having issues :)
