When adding the -ExportPath parameter i get the following error:

Exporting report into speedscope format.MethodInvocationException: C:\Users\*****\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\Profiler\4.0.0\Export-SpeedScope.ps1:37

Profiler brings the dependency together, can you confirm you see it in your profile?

Which version of powershell are you using?

Did you install the module via Install-Module or manually?

Has been a while trying. Will try to replicate and check the dependency. I did use Install-Module. PowerShell version is 7.1.3

Strange. I am looking at the contents of the shipped module Profiler 4.0.0. All the dlls come from the actual build, I am not doing anything special there. I let nuget restore them, and msbuild to build the solution and then I just copy a subset of the final build result. So there should be very little margin for error.

All the version numbers agree etc.

Maybe there are 2 things to try:

  • load older (12 or less) version of newtonsoft to powreshell before you try running it, maybe it simply cannot load a second version of the same assembly. I see the error code above referenced in few places, and they mention that the error happens only when they loaded some other module before the action.
  • try deleting the file in your module directory, maybe antivirus ate/blocked it.

I am totally overwhelmed at work this week. Will try and look into it again and check.
