I hit this issue today. Looks like the WindowsFeatureSet
proxies to the MSFT_WindowsFeature
resource that lacks the Source
property. This seems like a regression as previous functionality has been removed.
The PSDscResources
module is intended to be a compatible replacement for the PSDesiredStateConfiguration
module resources that come in-box with Windows. However, it does indeed look like the MSFT_WindowsFeature
module is missing the Source
property in the PSDscResources
module.
I'm not sure how this feature has been missed out. An issue is also open on the community maintained version of this module for a similar feature: https://github.com/dsccommunity/xPSDesiredStateConfiguration/issues/700
This should be an easy fix but I'll need to confirm with the team what the release schedule looks like.
Has this been addresses elsewhere in DSC modules? I have been searching with no luck. This is preventing moving away from older modules. Thanks for any insight
Failing to compile when using the Source member of WindowsFeatureSet
