I am running below command

I don't get any error as well.

ashwane commented 5 years ago

thanks a lot @jansenbe for super quick response and fixing it so fast. Gr8full to you mate. Can I update the PnP dll from dev branch and utilize this feature before july release? If yes, then please guide.

Thanks In advance,

jansenbe commented 5 years ago

I build my own PnP versions as well, but let's see if below easier approach works for you:

Download the latest dev branch dll: https://github.com/SharePoint/PnP-PowerShell/blob/dev/Binaries/SharePointPnP.Modernization.Framework.dll
Download the latest dev branch PnP sites core dll: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-modernization/blob/dev/Tools/SharePoint.Modernization/binaries/OfficeDevPnP.Core.dll
Go to the location where you've installed PnP PS: get-module -ListAvailable -Name SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline will tell you where that is
Close all existing PS session
Backup the existing SharePointPnP.Modernization.Framework.dll and OfficeDevPnP.Core.dll dlls
Copy over the ones you've downloaded in step 1 and 2
Test

Hi @jansenbe thanks for providing me guidance to update pnp commands. Unfortunately, it doesn't work I downloaded latest dlls as per above instructions and replaced dlls i,e SharePointPnP.Modernization.Framework.dll and OfficeDevPnP.Core.dll - I started getting below error.

Connect-PnPOnline : The 'Connect-PnPOnline' command was found in the module 'SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline', but the module could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline'.

Then i try to load the module and I got below error.

Import-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'OfficeDevPnP.Core, Version=3.10.1906.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5e633289e95c321a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

Can you please help If I am missing anything.

jansenbe commented 5 years ago

Then the only option is the grab the PnP PS source code from github and compile your own version...or wait until the July release

ashwane commented 5 years ago
