Dependency on variable in parent scope (Build-PSBuildUpdatableHelp) #54
Description
Expected Behavior
The following command should successfully complete its call to New-ExternalHelpCab:
Build-PSBuildUpdatableHelp -DocsPath 'C:\Temp\docs' -OutputPath 'C:\Temp\dist\UpdatableHelp'Current Behavior
Currently an error is thrown if the $ModuleName variable is not correctly defined in the parent scope:
New-ExternalHelpCab: untitled:Untitled-2:49:29
Line |
49 | New-ExternalHelpCab @cabParams > $null
| ~~~~~~~~~~
| Cannot validate argument on parameter 'LandingPagePath'. Path 'C:\Temp\docs/en-US/.md' is not a file.
Possible Solution
This can be addressed by adding a Module parameter that defaults to the value of the $ModuleName variable
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- Launch pwsh
- Run this command:
Build-PSBuildUpdatableHelp -DocsPath 'C:\Temp\docs' -OutputPath 'C:\Temp\dist\UpdatableHelp'Context
This will make it easier to use Build-PSBuildUpdatableHelp in custom psake tasks
