All rights reserved.' # Module Description Description = 'Updates a module from the Powershell Gallery if a newer version is available. Wraps the PowerShellGet function Update-Module and is much faster. This module exports 2 functions: Get-PublishedModuleVersion and Update-InstalledModule. Get-PublishedModuleVersion checks the most recent version of a module in the Powershell gallery. It is based on ideas from Tobias Weltner (powertheshell.com) and scriptingfee.de Update-InstalledModule uses this version check to prepare a list of modules that are outdated. This list then is passed on to the original Update-Module function. If no outdated modules are found, Update-Module is not called at all. The fast check for outdated versions makes it easy to include an update check in your profile script. Simply add the following two lines to your profile: Try { Import-Module -Name UpdateInstalledModule; Update-InstalledModule -Name <Module Names you want to automatically check and update> } Catch { $_ } ' # Minimum PowerShell Version Required PowerShellVersion = '5.0' # Name of Required PowerShell Host PowerShellHostName = '' # Minimum Host Version Required PowerShellHostVersion = '' # Minimum .NET Framework-Version DotNetFrameworkVersion = '' # Minimum CLR (Common Language Runtime) Version CLRVersion = '' # Processor Architecture Required (X86, Amd64, IA64) ProcessorArchitecture = '' # Required Modules (will load before this module loads) RequiredModules = @( 'PowerShellGet' ) # Required Assemblies RequiredAssemblies = @() # PowerShell Scripts (.ps1) that need to be executed before this module loads ScriptsToProcess = @() # Type files (.ps1xml) that need to be loaded when this module loads TypesToProcess = @() # Format files (.ps1xml) that need to be loaded when this module loads FormatsToProcess = @() # NestedModules = @() # List of exportable functions FunctionsToExport = @( 'Update-InstalledModule', 'Get-PublishedModuleVersion' ) # List of exportable cmdlets CmdletsToExport = '*' # List of exportable variables VariablesToExport = '*' # List of exportable aliases AliasesToExport = '*' # List of all modules contained in this module ModuleList = @() # List of all files contained in this module FileList = @() # Private data that needs to be passed to this module PrivateData = @{ PSData = @{ Tags=@( 'powershellget','update-module' ) ExternalModuleDependencies = @( 'PowershellGet' ) } } } |
