Scan-Inventory -> The term 'Test-Compliance' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Hi,

not sure what is going wrong at the moment, but I've installed VUM powercli package and I did some testing yesterday. Today Scan-Inentory and other VUM powercli commands fail with error "Test-Compliance' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet..."

But as far as I can see the VUM powercli snapin/module is installed and loaded.

Scan-Inventory -Entity xxxx

Scan-Inventory : The term 'Test-Compliance' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the

path is correct and try again.

Which version of the module is that ?

Stupid suggestion, did you already try stopping/starting your PowerShell session?

I've already rebooted the host, no difference.

And which PowerCLI version are you using?

Can you do a Get-PowerCLIVersion

I've updated to 6.3 after the problems began, before it was some other 6.x version. Also latest VUM powercli package.

Does it find the cmdlet when you use the PowerCLI prompt (started via the PowerCLI shortcut) ?

If you're on 6.3, there is only the module, no PSSnapin afaik.

And the module seems to load ok judging from the verbose output.

Can you do 'Get-Command -Module VMware.VumAutomation' after you loaded the Update Manager module?

Running in PowerShell command window is working fine, it seems it only happens in PowerGUI. There seems to be a difference in the get-command output depending on where I run it and Test-Compliance is missing.

PowerShell:

That looks like a PowerGUI issue then.
I'm not sure if there still is active support now that PowerGUI is under the Dell umbrella.
You could check if they still have an active user forum.

To be honest I have never been a big PowerGUI fan, they do/did stuff under the cover which I didn't like..

Time to look at alternatives I guess.
There are several alternatives available: the PS ISE, Visual Studio Code, PowerShell Plus...
