PowerShell 7.3 - guide with Importing Module and Resolving Dependencies in Different Environments
I'm following best practices but I'm updating my dependencies and I'm having trouble importing a custom PowerShell module (`MyModule.psm1`) that relies on another module (`HelperModule.psm1`) in different environments. The module works perfectly on my development machine, but when I try to import it on a test server, I encounter the following behavior: ``` Import-Module : The 'HelperModule' module could not be loaded. The file 'C:\Modules\HelperModule.psm1' does not exist. ``` I've ensured that both modules are present in the expected directories on the test server. Here's the code I use to import the module: ```powershell Import-Module -Name 'C:\Modules\MyModule.psm1' ``` On my development machine, I set the module path in my user profile, but I'm not sure if the test server is using the same paths. I've tried using `Update-Module` to refresh the modules, but it doesn't seem to help. To troubleshoot, I ran the following command to check the module paths: ```powershell $env:PSModulePath -split ';' ``` It appears that the path to the `HelperModule` is missing from the test server's `$env:PSModulePath`. I've added the module path temporarily using: ```powershell $env:PSModulePath += ';C:\Modules' ``` However, the behavior continues when I try importing again. I also checked the execution policy, which is set to `RemoteSigned` on both machines. I'm wondering if there are any other configuration settings I might be overlooking, or if there's a better way to manage module dependencies across different environments. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
