Command

New-ConfigurationModuleSkip

Module PSPublishModule
Inputs
None

Provides a way to ignore certain commands or modules during build-time dependency validation.

Syntax

New-ConfigurationModuleSkip [-FailOnMissingCommands] [-Force] [-IgnoreFunctionName <String[]>] [-IgnoreModuleName <String[]>] [<CommonParameters>]
#
Parameter set: All Parameter Sets

Description

Missing module-backed commands fail the build by default. Use this command for optional dependencies where you want selected missing modules or commands to be ignored. -Force keeps the legacy broad opt-out behavior.

Examples

Authored help example

Ignore an optional module and continue on missing dependency

New-ConfigurationModuleSkip -IgnoreModuleName 'PSScriptAnalyzer' -Force

Prevents build failure when the module is not installed in the environment.

Ignore specific functions for cross-platform builds

New-ConfigurationModuleSkip -IgnoreModuleName 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Security' -IgnoreFunctionName 'Get-AuthenticodeSignature','Set-AuthenticodeSignature' -Force

Parameters

-FailOnMissingCommands SwitchParameter optional
Fail build when unresolved commands are detected during merge. This is the default and is retained for compatibility.
-Force SwitchParameter optional
Force the build process to continue even if modules or commands are not available.
-IgnoreFunctionName String[] optional
Ignore command/function name(s) during missing-command validation.
-IgnoreModuleName String[] optional
Ignore module name(s) during missing-command validation and transitive dependency resolution.
