MissingModuleManifestField

Severity Level: Warning

Description

A module manifest is a .psd1 file that contains a hash table. The keys and values in the hash table describe the contents and attributes of the module, define the prerequisites, and determine how the components are processed.

Module manifests must contain the following keys (and a corresponding value) to be considered valid:

• ModuleVersion

All other keys are optional. The order of the entries is not important.

How

Please consider adding the missing fields to the manifest.

Example

Wrong

@{
    Author              = 'PowerShell Author'
    NestedModules       = @('.\mymodule.psm1')
    FunctionsToExport   = '*'
    CmdletsToExport     = '*'
    VariablesToExport   = '*'
}

Correct

@{
    ModuleVersion       = '1.0'
    Author              = 'PowerShell Author'
    NestedModules       = @('.\mymodule.psm1')
    FunctionsToExport   = '*'
    CmdletsToExport     = '*'
    VariablesToExport   = '*'
}
