first use after module install:

Get-Logger : The term 'Get-Logger' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct a
nd try again.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSWinReportingV2\2.0.8\PSWinReportingV2.psm1:239 char:19
+         $Logger = Get-Logger @LoggerParameters
+                   ~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-Logger:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

is module dependency missing?

There are multiple modules in play here. When you run:

Install-Module PSWinReportingV2 -Force

It should install any and all prerequisites. PSWinReporting is based on the following modules:

  • PSEventViewer - mine
  • PSSharedGoods (get-logger is there) - mine
  • PSWriteHTML - mine for reports in HTML
  • PSDiscord - if you want to send stuff to Discord - mine
  • PSTeams - if you want to send messages to Teams - mine
  • dbatools - if you want to send stuff to SQL, not mine
  • PSSlack - not mine, if you want to send stuff to Slack

The ones checked are installed when you Install-Module.

correct. i did not use force switch.
I would like to see some info after importing the module, that maybe I do not have dependencies when I do not use the force switch.

Install-Module alone should install any dependencies. If you already had some module before (like PSSharedGoods) in earlier version this is why it may have not been installed. Install-Module -Force makes sure to installs newest versions regardless of what you have.

I need to explore .psd1 required modules more to have better use cases, but not sure there is sense to put a lot of effort.

btw nice work and thank you for fantastic functionality.

I checked. However, there is PSSharedGoods in version 0.0.38

PrzemyslawKlys commented

Ye, so you had very old version. Install-module found it, and skipped during installation. Get-Logger got added around 0.0.50 or so. Force installed new version.

I will have to add Required Version to required modules to prevent that in the future.

This will be rolled out with new version 2.0.10.
