`Get-InstalledPSResource` does not return scripts

Steps to reproduce

Testing out beta 22 manually downloaded from PowerShellGallery ( https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PSResourceGet ), I noticed that Get-InstalledPSResource does not return scripts.

• Shouldn't it?

There's also no parameter -Type, like PackageManagement\Get-Package for instance has. I'd expect that, as AFAIK both scripts and modules are PSResources.

• Is a script a PSResource?

Example command, I've set the module path in user context to be outside OneDrive.

Get-InstalledPSResource -Path ('{0}\Microsoft\PowerShell\Scripts' -f $env:LOCALAPPDATA)

Expected behavior

Return a list of scripts and modules (installed by script dependencies) found in said directory.

Actual behavior

PS C:\Users\redacted> Get-InstalledPSResource -Path ('{0}\Microsoft\PowerShell\Scripts' -f $env:LOCALAPPDATA)

Get-InstalledPSResource returns the resource but incorrectly tags it as a module not script. Install-PSResource works as expected.

Install-PSResource Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo -PassThru | select Name, Type

Name                       Type
----                       ----
Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo Script

Get-InstalledPSResource Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo | select Name, Type

Name                       Type
----                       ----
Get-WindowsAutoPilotInfo Module

Just opened a PR for one of the issues

There's also no parameter -Type, like PackageManagement\Get-Package for instance has. I'd expect that, as AFAIK both scripts and modules are PSResources.

Is a script a PSResource?

A script is a PSResource and I like the suggestion of adding a -Type parameter to the cmdlet. I opened a new issue here to track that issue separately

This issue isn't fixed: Shouldn't Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet\Get-InstalledPSResource with -Path should detect both modules and scripts if said path contains both?

Example with v0.5.23-beta23

Also, the new issue you said you created for -Type: It links to this issue?
