[v2kiran]

did some debugging and found there is a conflict with another module called "completionpredictor".
I removed completionpredictor from the session and the error went away.

this is what i found during debugging:

Exception: C:\Users\Kiran\OneDrive\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\Pode\2.7.2\Private\Context.ps1:714:13

Hi @v2kiran,

The first error appears to be when closing the runspace, while the second error seems to be while trying to open the runspace. Do you know if they're both related to the CommandPredictor module?

If you try disabling the auto-importing of modules, does that resolve the issue? (https://badgerati.github.io/Pode/Tutorials/Scoping/#disable)

hi @Badgerati - thanks for replying.
I just ran "remove-module completionpredictor". then pode ran.

I then changed the server.ps1 script slightly then ran into another error about importing modules after which i basically gave up.

{
    # attach to port 8080 for http
    Add-PodeEndpoint -Address localhost -Port 8085 -Protocol Http

    # a simple page for displaying services
    Add-PodePage -Name 'processes' -ScriptBlock { Get-Process }
}

i also have this psd1 file named server.psd1 in the same directory but didnt change do anything:

@{
    Server = @{
        AutoImport = @{
            Modules = @{
                Enable = $false
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi @v2kiran,

Well I just found a bug with Auto-Importing! Turns out the configuration is actually being ignored, so I'll get that fixed.

What's the module at C:\gh\learn-pode\31a63532-6abc-443a-8533-7462fe8fe31f it's trying to load? If it's extension is .ps1 changing it to .psm1 should work.

[v2kiran]

thats great :)
31a63532-6abc-443a-8533-7462fe8fe31f - i have no clue what module it is trying to load because there are no files in the root directory .....basically trying a very simple example.

Note: this string (31a63532-6abc-443a-8533-7462fe8fe31f) changes everytime i restart the ps session..

Just a quick bump as I have the same issue as @v2kiran on a fresh Win10 insider system, tried in both 5.1 and 7.3.8. I'll try to build the dev version and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: Didn't happen on a Win2012 server
