PS Adapter export will hang

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest version
• Search the existing issues.

Summary

There are times where running export where it will hang. During testing I added debug code to the export method and it is not stuck in my code.

To validate my code you can run the following. In my test it took 2 seconds to return 235 instances of the resource.

using module AnyPackageDsc
[Package]::Export()

Steps to reproduce

Take updated DSC module from anypackage/dsc#24 and then try the following commands

Install-PSResource AnyPackage.PSResourceGet,

dsc resource list --adapter Microsoft.DSC/PowerShell

Type                   Kind      Version  Capabilities  RequireAdapter            Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AnyPackageDsc/Package  Resource  0.1.2    gs--t---      Microsoft.DSC/PowerShell  AnyPackage DSC resources.
AnyPackageDsc/Source   Resource  0.1.2    gs--t---      Microsoft.DSC/PowerShell  AnyPackage DSC resources.

dsc resource export -r AnyPackageDsc/Package

Expected behavior

not hang

Actual behavior

hangs

Hey @ThomasNieto , I don't know if you did it with resource or config command, but there was a bug solved by Steve on: #782

[ThomasNieto]

@Gijsreyn it was though resource.

@Gijsreyn it was though resource.

Then that should be solved in the next release.
