🪲 [Fix]: Module import no longer fails when a newer Admin version is installed

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

Importing the Fonts module no longer fails when a newer version of the Admin dependency is installed. Previously, the #Requires directives pinned an exact version (RequiredVersion = '1.1.6'), which caused Import-Module Fonts to error out if only a newer version of Admin was present. The directives now specify a major-pinned range using ModuleVersion and MaximumVersion, accepting any Admin version from 1.1.6 up to (but not including) 2.0.0.

• Fixes Fix module import failure when a newer Admin version is installed #58

Fixed: Module import fails with newer Admin dependency

The three public functions (Get-Font, Install-Font, Uninstall-Font) used RequiredVersion in their #Requires -Modules directive, demanding an exact version match for the Admin module. This caused Import-Module Fonts to fail when only a newer version of Admin was installed.

The directives now use a major-pinned range — ModuleVersion sets the minimum acceptable version, and MaximumVersion caps at 1.999.999 to prevent a future Admin v2.0.0 (with potential breaking changes) from being used. Any version of Admin from 1.1.6 through 1.x will satisfy the requirement.

# Before (exact pin — fails if 1.1.6 is not installed)
#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName = 'Admin'; RequiredVersion = '1.1.6' }

# After (major-pinned range — 1.1.6 through 1.x accepted)
#Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName = 'Admin'; ModuleVersion = '1.1.6'; MaximumVersion = '1.999.999' }

Technical Details

• Changed RequiredVersion to ModuleVersion + MaximumVersion in #Requires -Modules directive in three files:
  • src/functions/public/Get-Font.ps1
  • src/functions/public/Install-Font.ps1
  • src/functions/public/Uninstall-Font.ps1
• Minimum version stays at 1.1.6 (unchanged from the original RequiredVersion value).
• MaximumVersion = '1.999.999' added to cap at the 1.x major version range, preventing breakage from a future Admin v2.0.0.
• Implementation plan progress: Core change tasks (all 3 files) completed. Verification tasks remain for CI.

Copilot Please also add a max version so we can support up to 1.999.999. Leave the minimal version on 1.1.6.

Implemented in 3da6fc8. All three public functions now use #Requires -Modules @{ ModuleName = 'Admin'; ModuleVersion = '1.1.6'; MaximumVersion = '1.999.999' }.
