VSComponents not working with winget configure

[flowcoder1]

I can't get winget configure to install Visual Studio components with the current version (https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Microsoft.VisualStudio.DSC/1.0.18-beta). Once I do a Install-Module -Name Microsoft.VisualStudio.DSC -RequiredVersion 1.0.15-beta -AllowPrerelease then (Get-DscResource VSComponents).Properties works and so does the winget configuration file:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://aka.ms/configuration-dsc-schema/0.2
# Reference: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal#prerequisites
properties:
  assertions:
    - resource: Microsoft.Windows.Developer/OsVersion
      directives:

        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:
        MinVersion: '10.0.22000'
  resources:
    - resource: Microsoft.Windows.Developer/DeveloperMode
      id: DeveloperMode
      directives:

      settings:

      directives:

        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:

        source: winget

      dependsOn:
        - vsPackage
      directives:

        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:
        productId: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community
        channelId: VisualStudio.17.Release        
        components:
          - Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop
          - Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal
  configurationVersion: 0.2.0

See microsoft/winget-cli#3914 for discussion.

We are also facing this issue.

The module can't be imported.

PS D:\Dev> import-module microsoft.visualstudio.dsc
ParserError: Missing ')' in function parameter list.
Import-Module: The module to process 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.DSC.psm1', listed in field 'ModuleToProcess/RootModule' of module manifest 'C:\Users\rubengu\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\microsoft.visualstudio.dsc\1.0.18\microsoft.visualstudio.dsc.psd1' was not processed because no valid module was found in any module directory.

There's a comma missing here

As an undocumented workaround, you can add "maxVersion: "1.0.15" to the WinGet configuration under directives.

      directives:
        description: Install required VS workloads
        maxVersion: "1.0.15"
        allowPrerelease: true

@flowcoder1 it looks like the PR with the fix was merged, and a new version of the module was published.
