Cannot Publish Module with Required Modules anymore

[SQLDBAWithABeard]

Steps to reproduce

I release dbachecks using Azure DevOps and the following code

# Get the Module versions
Install-Module Configuration -RequiredVersion 1.3.0 -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$false
$Modules = Get-ManifestValue -Path "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Master - Version Update, Signing and Publish Artifact/dbachecks\dbachecks.psd1" -PropertyName RequiredModules

$PesterVersion = $Modules.Where{$_.Get_Item('ModuleName') -eq 'Pester'}[0].Get_Item('ModuleVersion')
$PSFrameworkVersion = $Modules.Where{$_.Get_Item('ModuleName') -eq 'PSFramework'}[0].Get_Item('ModuleVersion')
$dbatoolsVersion = $Modules.Where{$_.Get_Item('ModuleName') -eq 'dbatools'}[0].Get_Item('ModuleVersion')

# Install Required Modules
Install-Module dbatools -RequiredVersion $dbatoolsVersion  -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$false
Install-Module Pester -RequiredVersion $PesterVersion -Scope CurrentUser -SkipPublisherCheck -Force -Confirm:$false
Install-Module PSFramework -RequiredVersion $PsFrameworkVersion   -Scope CurrentUser -Force -Confirm:$false

try{
#Publish Module
Publish-Module -Path "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Master - Version Update, Signing and Publish Artifact/dbachecks" -NuGetApiKey "$(GalleryApiKey)" -ErrorAction Stop -Confirm:$false
}
Catch{
$Error | fl -force
Throw
}

Expected behavior

The module publishes

Actual behavior

As you can see here
https://dev.azure.com/sqlcollaborative/dbachecks/_releaseProgress?_a=release-environment-logs&releaseId=113&environmentId=113

The module does not publish and the error is

Environment data

I could also replicate this with the latest PowerShellGet on pwsh 6.2.3 and 5.1 on my laptop

I was successfully able to publish the module from a different machine running 5.1 using

PS5> Get-Module powershellget -ListAvailable

Directory: C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

ModuleType Version Name ExportedCommands

---

Script 2.0.3 PowerShellGet {Find-Command, Find-DSCResource, Find-Module, Find-RoleCapability...}

Could this be related to PowerShell/PowerShellGetv2#551 dbachecks has required modules also?

Temporary work around

Works fine if I change RequiredModules to

RequiredModules   = @( )
    

Is this an inadvertent bug that is likely to get fixed? Or, is this a planned change of behaviour?

[StevenBucher98]

We have just released this version of PowerShellGet, 3.0.11-beta, can you please try this version out and if you are encountering the same problem you can open up a new issue here so we can investigate and resolve it.

[vadymt1]

@StevenBucher98 it was not fixed in beta version as well. Have you included this bugfix in this particular version?

[StevenBucher98]

@vadymt1 we have moved the issue to the PowerShellGetv3 repo and will investigate further.

Having trouble reproducing this with Publish-Module...
@sdg002 thanks for your feedback on with when you mention

Works fine if I change RequiredModules to

RequiredModules   = @( )

were you previously using something like RequiredModules = ""? Both seem to publish okay for me (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/preTest/0.0.6-pre), but guessing I am missing something if you are having this error...

When I used our latest preview of PowerShellGet v3 (preview 12) I am getting this error:

Publish-PSResource: Dependency 'PowerShellGet' was not found in repository 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2'.  Make sure the dependency is published to the repository before publishing this module.
