Install-RequiredModule error on Mac/Linux

[bravo-kernel]

Unsure if this is related to the module update but Azure Pipelines (for Mac and Linux) is choking on Install-RequiredModule with the following error:

Unable to find type [VersionRange]

Looks to be caused by this pipeline template: https://github.com/PoshCode/Azure-Pipelines/blob/master/Install-RequiredModule-step.yml#L34 (already mentioning Windows only).

Pipeline details found here:

No issues on Windows:

Pointers appreciated

I don't think that's related. The [VersionRange] type is from the NuGet.Versioning assembly, which should be embedded in Install-RequiredModule (see RequiredModules)

Thanks for the feedback. I actually looked at that repo but it's where I got really confused:

• Install-RequiredModule vs. Install-RequiredModules (with trailing s)
• Both are on PSGallery
• the first one is referred to in the pipeline azure yaml
• the second one, I could not find any references to

Since the code is in different repos it's a bit hard to add debugging. Let's leave this open for now, perhaps a light bulb moment will happen.

I ran into this problem myself in a pipeline, and on my Windows machine using PS7. It looks like your attempt to embed the assembly in the file doesn't work properly in Core Just a shot at the dark, I see that version 4.x of the Nuget.Versioning nuget package had a dependency on the NETStandard.Library, which I'm fairly certain I don't have on my personal machine, but the 5.x versions no longer have that dependency, do you happen to know what version of the assembly you included?

The package appears to have no dependencies for .NetFramework, which would explain why it "Just Works" on Windows in classic PowerShell.

This was a bug in PowerShell 7.0.0 and it's fixed in PowerShell 7.0.1
