Import-module DSCEA throws errors #48

Closed majst32 closed 7 years ago

majst32 commented 7 years ago

When I try to import the module, I get an error importing Out-DataTable: Unexpected token 'Â' in expression or statement.

It looks like there may be an extra character after some of the types that is being read as this invalid char.

Thanks Melissa! I am able to repro. I'll take a look at Out-DataTable to see what's going on.

In the meantime, you should be able to use the DSCEA module by just calling the functions, without a call to Import-Module DSCEA as PowerShell will import the functions automatically.

Thanks for calling this out!

It looks like some extra characters are getting added in somehow. When I view the file on GitHub it looks fine, but after running (Install-Module DSCEA) and taking a look at the file on my file system, I see the extra characters which are causing the problem.

Possibly a copy paste issue with hidden characters, we will update this function on our next release and try to remove the characters to see if it resolves the issue
