This is a bug in Get-DscResource in PowerShell 7. If you use PowerShell 5.1 they will show using Get-DscResource.

Thanks @johlju

Assume this is an issue reading the Class based resources from the Module then?

I have not yet tried running resources through PS7 with the latest preview of PSDesiredStateConfiguration. Not sure the work is finished to be able to run in PS7 🤔

Hey @brwilkinson, not sure what's your version of pwsh, but the PSDSC module 3.0.0-beta has to run on pwsh 7.2.preview.5 or above iirc.
Previous versions had some issues with Class based DSC Resources, especially when inheritence was used (which I just guess that's the case in this module).
Next DSC Community call will be with Andrew and Steve from the PowerShell team to discuss all the changes that is happening with those versions.

Ping me if you try and you have the same error with the latest pwsh preview and PSDSC beta. Thanks! :)

I do run preview. This is not a blocker for me right now, so I can wait to hear about any updates or upcoming releases.

$PSVersionTable

Name                           Value
----                           -----
PSVersion                      7.2.0-preview.9
brwilkinson commented

Anyone have any updates to share or else I have some bandwidth now to follow up?

johlju commented

Labeling this as external as we cannot solve this in this module.

gaelcolas commented

Come and ask the question during the DSC Community call on Wednesday, Steve Lee & Andrew should be there discussing recent changes to PS DSC.

johlju commented

Closing this issue since we cannot fix this in this module. We will keep it pinned in the issue section so other users find it more easily. We still wait for PS Team to release something that can be (easily) used to run class-based resources in PS7 (that is not in preview).
