Problem with Import-Module

by iHunger at 2012-11-14 08:28:28

I have several PowerShell Modules that are all named in the format OurCompanyName.Category. If I have only one of these in my modules directory I can use:

ipmo OurComp*

to import the module. If I have 2 or more I get an error reading:

Import-Module : The specified module ‘OurComp’ was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
At line:1 char:5
+ ipmo <<<< OurComp*
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (OurComp*:String) [Import-Module], FileNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand


Additional details]
These modules are written in C# and use a PSD1 manifest files. If we use the full names for the import-module cmdlet, the modules import fine, it is only when trying to use the wildcard to import them all.

Anyone seen this before?

Haven’t tried to do this, but this should be a workaround for the issue:

Get-Module OurComp* -ListAvailable | Import-Module

Thanks for the work-around. If I find the root cause I will post it here.
