Get-Module Manifest Metadata

Question

I've created a module with manifest in order to export two of the three contained functions. The function works as expected but the "ExportedCommands" metadata via the Get-Module -Name Get-ServerInventory is missing.

When I test the manifest via Test-ModuleManifest (Get-Module Get-ServerInventory).Path

The "ExportedCommands" metadata is visible.

Why do I not see the "ExportedCommands" metadata via the Get-Module -Name Get-ServerInventory command?

P.S. The Export-ModuleMember -Function Get-InventoryCMD, Get-Inventory is also within the PSM1 file

Answer 1

I think that I found an answer:
Get-Module will ONLY return the "ExportedCommands" metadata for a Script Module (PSM1) File when the module does not have an associated Manifest (PSD1) File

If you use a Manifest and you want the "ExportedCommands" , you must:

1. Comment-Out the "RootModule" from the Manifest File
2. Nest the Get-Module command within the Test-Manifest command so that the file returned is a (PSD1) file
   Test-ModuleManifest (Get-Module -Name Get-ServerInventory).Path
