Which Version Does Import-Module Import?
Applies to: Windows PowerShell 5.0.10586, 5.1.14385.0, PowerShellGet 1.0.0.1 The Import-Module cmdlet, the #Requires directive, and module auto-loading (PS 3.0+) all import modules into a PowerShell session.

Exporting from Modules: A Reminder
There are so many new things in Windows PowerShell that I often assume that I know the basics. But, while working on a project about modules, I ran into some new guidance from PowerShell developer Jason Shirk and a great blog post that demonstrates that information about variables in a TechNet topic about module manifests […]
Update-Module 5.0 adds, not updates
Applies to: — Windows PowerShell 5.0.10586.63 — PowerShellGet 1.0.0.1 I’m a huge fan of sharing Windows PowerShell modules and making them easy to find (Find-Module), view (Save-Module), and install (Install-Module).

Debugging a module project: When debugging (F4) or running (Ctrl + F4) a module project for the first […]

A week ago I was hanging out with PowerShell trainer extraordinaire Jason Helmick and while we where geeking out over PowerShell tricks and software features (yes, I know, bad, isn’t it?) I asked him how he would improve file groups. (…) (crickets) (…) File groups? So I demonstrated. I learned some time ago that most […]
PowerShell modules and PrimalScript’s Object Browser
The next service build of PrimalScript 2009 (5.0.622) will show registered modules in the object browser under the PowerShell node. Modules have not to be loaded by default to show in the browser, just like snapins they load on demand when you expand a node. This allows you to browse the registered modules on your […]
