Check for "Clobber" conflicts before trying to install everything #1261

Closed dbaileyut closed 1 year ago

dbaileyut commented 1 year ago

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

If I run Install-Module with a big module with lots of dependencies like VMware.PowerCLI and I forget to specify -AllowClobber, it takes a long time to finally error out with the conflicts. It would be nice if it could fail sooner.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

No response

The new module PSResourceGet doesn't have the AllowClobber parameter and by default doesn't check for conflicts but can opt-in by using the NoClobber parameter.

Ah, thanks, sorry I haven't had a chance to try the new module
