Publish-Module: consider allowing custom names when loaded from path #322

Open mgreenegit opened 6 years ago

Please consider allowing ‘Name’ parameter when ‘Path’ is used, then pass the value as the name for the module in the package.

@mgreenegit Could you please provide more details on the end-user scenario and expected functionality? If you know that the specified value is a module name, why can't you use the Name parameter?

mgreenegit commented 6 years ago

The Name parameter only works if the module is in psmodulepath. For CI environments, it is more likely to be staged in a project or artifact folder.
