Module (having classes and functions) built with sampler. Importing module, classes not visible.

KarstenHabay commented 1 week ago

Hi,

I'm building my modules with sampler. They contain mostly classes and functions.

I got 2 major issues with my classes:

When I want to use the module using Import-Module it all seems to work fine, except that my classes are not visible. When I try to instantiate a class I get: InvalidOperation: Unable to find type [myClassName].
In my Pester tests, I force Import the module in a BeforeAll struct, pretty much like in the generated examples. Same result here: RuntimeException: Unable to find type [MyClassName].

Am I missing something? I couldn't find much info on using classes in the sampler help. Functions are exported through the Manifest. I was unable to find anything on classes. They are copied into my .psm1 file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greets, Karsten

[SOLVED]

I just had to add using module MyModuleName on top of the file. 🙄

Great that you found it, it is normally added to prefix.ps1 and update build configuration to recognize that file.
