the root module path always refers to the icinga-powershell-framework folder

[gbin2265]

Hello,

Every time I want to install a module (plugin,restapi,...) is the destination path C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\
and not C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\

If i do:

Use-Icinga;

Install-IcingaFrameworkComponent -Name plugins -Release;

The destination path is C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\icinga-powershell-plugins
and not C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-plugins

Because of this I always have the following message:
Import-Module : The specified module 'icinga-powershell-plugins' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\1.4.1\lib\core\framework\Install-IcingaFrameworkComponent.psm1:116 char:5

• Import-Module $RepositoryName;
  

• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

  • CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (icinga-powershell-plugins:String) [Import-Module], FileNotFoundException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

Also if i want to remove the framework:

Uninstall-IcingaForWindows;

i have the error
[Notice]: The Icinga for Windows component "icinga-powershell-framework" at "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\icinga-powershell-framework" could not ne found.
because the path is refer to icinga-powershell-framework in icinga-powershell-framework.

is it possible that the module root path is not correct when i use the command Install-IcingaFrameworkComponent or Uninstall-IcingaForWindows ?

The version of powershell : 5.1.19041.906
Version of the framework is 1.4.1 (latest version)
Windows 10 Pro - 21H1

Geert

Thank you for the report. This is a weird issue. The root folder should always refer to the modules folder and not the Framework itself.
How was the PowerShell Framework installed previously?

If you run

Get-IcingaFrameworkRootPath

What is the result?

Hello,

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-IcingaFrameworkRootPath
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\

At the very beginning with version 1.0 I did the installation manually.
Is there an ini file somewhere that keeps info/variables of the past?
I manually removed all the directories but still it continues to use this path.

regards,
Geert

The module path is detected automatically by the module. Is the .psm1 and .psd1 file located in this location or are there and subdirectories under C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework\?

Could you post a file list of this directory?

[gbin2265]

I do the installation from the Powershell Galery:
cd "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules"
Install-Module -Name icinga-powershell-framework;

This is the folder structure:

Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\icinga-powershell-framework

Is subfolder 1.4.1 the problem?
This is created by the Install-Module.

[LordHepipud]

Ah, you installed the Framework by using PowerShell Gallery with Install-Module. Yes, this will cause issues then, as the root directory is different. You have to use Install-Module again to update and install all other components, as it is not supported to use both methods in parallel.

I have removed all the folders, i use ccleaner, reboot te windows and then reinstall everything .
Now he installs everything in the root of the modules.

Is het normal that there is always the version as folder before you see the psd1/psm1 ?

The "problem" is that PowerShell Gallery seems to install everything in a version folder instead directly into \modules.
I will have a look on this and check if we can resolve that.
