Import-module not working in v2.6.2

[crackermania]

Hi,

I'm tested v2.6.2 missing capabilities to import-module ps1 file. It's working fine in v2.4.2 and 2.5.2. My code as per below :

Import-Module -Name Pode -RequiredVersion 2.6.2

get-module Pode | Out-Default 

#1) not working
#Import-Module "D:\Scripts\testModule.ps1" -Scope Global
#2) not working in 2.6.2, work well in 2.4.2 and 2.5.2
Import-Module "D:\Scripts\testModule.ps1"

Start-PodeServer -Threads 2{

    Add-PodeEndpoint -Address * -Port 8200 -Protocol Http

    Add-PodeRoute -Method Get -Path 'api' -ScriptBlock {		
	#3) not working
        #Import-Module "D:\Scripts\testModule.ps1"
        ("Inside ThreadId: {0}" -f $ThreadId) | Out-Default 	
		$test = randomTaskID
		Write-PodeJsonResponse -Value @{ 'value' = "$test" }
		
    }

    New-PodeLoggingMethod -Terminal | Enable-PodeErrorLogging

}

testModule.ps1 contain code as per below :

function randomTaskID
{
	$taskID = Get-Random -Minimum 1000 -Maximum 99999999
	return $taskID
}

Consider bug or expected behavior for latest release?

By the way, it's working well if i paste the function before Start-PodeServer.

Thanks.

Hi @crackermania,

This could be a bug actually for .ps1 files, the logic for importing modules was tweaked in 2.6.0.

What happens if you change the file to be .psm1 instead?

@Badgerati ,

Thanks.. I can confirmed, I can use after change to psm1.

From : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/import-module?view=powershell-7.2

-Name

Specifies the names of the modules to import. Enter the name of the module or the name of a file in the module, such as a .psd1, .psm1, .dll, or .ps1 file. File paths are optional. Wildcard characters aren't permitted. You can also pipe module names and filenames to Import-Module.

So, consider bug? Thanks.

@crackermania,

Since it used to work pre-2.6.0, and the docs say it should work for ps1 files then yes, it's a bug. Though it seems there's a workaround for now if changing the extension to psm1 works.
