Command from an Powershell module installed is not found in azure cloud shell

Question

I'm working some powershell scripts to create resources in Azure portal, then I'm installed psazdevtestlabs module to use some commands there and it works fine locally but It is not working in Azure Cloud shell.

When I use command from that module, I got error "The term 'New-AzDevTestLabVM' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again " :

Then, I already compare PSModulePath Vs Path where is the psazdevtestlabs library and I found it is correct:

So, I would like to know what am I doing incorrectly.

Thanks for helping me.

Hello @Ana Cortazar ,

I was getting the same failure as you and was able to resolve it by importing the module (step 2). After that no other issues or complications to build the Azure DevTest Lab and VM in the Azure CLI.

My steps outlined below:

Install-Module psazdevtestlabs -Scope CurrentUser -Force  
Import-Module /home/system/.local/share/powershell/Modules/psazdevtestlabs/1.0.4/PSAzDevTestLabs.psm1  
$subscriptionId = "####"  
$rgName = 'test_group'  
$labName = 'MyTestLab'  
  
New-AzDevTestLab -SubscriptionId $subscriptionId -ResourceGroupName $rgName -Name $labName -VirtualNetworkName TestLabvNet  
$publisher = (Get-AzVMImagePublisher -Location 'Central US').where({ $_.PublisherName -eq 'MicrosoftWindowsServer' })  
$offer = (Get-AzVMImageOffer -Location 'Central US' -PublisherName $publisher.PublisherName).where({ $_.Offer -eq 'WindowsServer' })  
$sku = (Get-AzVMImageSku -Location 'Central US' -PublisherName $publisher.PublisherName -Offer $offer.Offer).where({ $_.Skus -eq '2019-Datacenter-Core' })  
$size = (Get-AzVMSize -Location 'Central US').where({ $_.Name -eq 'Standard_DS2_v2' })  

$newVmParams = @{  
Name              = 'MYTESTVM'  
SubscriptionId    = $subscriptionId  
ResourceGroupName = $rgName  
LabName           = $labName  
AdminUserName     = 'adam'  
AdminPassword     = 's3cret p@ssword'  
VMImageOffer      = $sku.Offer  
VMImagePublisher  = $sku.PublisherName  
VMImageSku        = $sku.Skus  
VmSize            = $size.Name  
}  
New-AzDevTestLabVM @newVmParams
