powershellgallery's Issues
Publishing module that has tags with spaces claims module is published when in fact it's not
Module doesn't check if Tags have spaces. Therefore if you define something like this in .psd1
Tags = @('documentation', 'windows', 'word', 'workstation', 'activedirectory', 'ad', 'excel', 'sql', 'azure', 'azure ad', 'exchange', 'office365', 'aws')
It will display this

But in fact it's not really true. It's not published. If you remove space it will work.
No way to select a logo in GUI
After uploading a module, i couldnt find a way to change the logo in the GUI.
This is possible in the current PowerShell Gallery, and should be in the preview as well
Regards/R.
Publish an item as unlisted
I'd like to request a feature to programmatically publish an item in the gallery as "Hidden" or a way to programmatically toggle the 'hidden' attribute for a given release/version .
An example: An update is published to the gallery that passed all initial tests but once in the gallery we found an issue with installing the module on some machines due to a code signing certificate problem.
In the future it would be nice to be able to publish as “hidden” and test module installation from the gallery and toggle the visibility once we confirm users 'in the wild' can install that specific version.
Thanks!
Non-english characters in description not displayed correctly
See: https://www.poshtestgallery.com/packages/experiment/1.0 - Description field contains French characters. With fix for PowerShell/PowerShellGet#9 I believe these are being uploaded correctly (and when I download the script again it displays correctly) but display in the gallery looks like encoding is not being honored.
Find-Module and Install-Module without -AllowPrerelease switch returns -alpha version
Install-Module sample command line uses non-existent -AllowPrerelease flag
The Install-Module sample command line for a pre-release package is:
PS> Install-Module -Name PackageManagement -AllowPrerelease
-AllowPrerelease
is not a switch that the Install-Module
that is shipped in current versions of Windows 10 appears to understand.
The example command box has a link to the documentation for Install-Module
: this also does not mention -AllowPrerelease
.
If a newer version of Install-Module
is needed for -AllowPrerelease
consider documenting this and explaining/linking to installation instructions. I've searched this entire repository for "AllowPrerelease" and found only one hit in a helper script.

Preview banners are missing the links
Issue
Preview links are missing on the PowerShell gallery which may annoy some of the web savvy users who assume that links are clickable and you don't need to copy paste them :)

Allow to signup for notifications of module updates
Right now when you publish a module you get email notification. It would be nice if one could signup for email/push notifications when modules you use change.
This comes in useful when you actually use something that is updated often and you want to know whether it's critical to update or just minor update. Otherwise some critical updates, security updates can go unnoticed for months.
Markdown support in Release Notes
I noticed that many packages (including those from Microsoft) use Markdown in the Release Notes section, but PS Gallery does not do any Markdown processing. Some other NuGet-based galleries (e.g. Chocolatey) support Markdown in at least the Release Notes and Description sections.
Full markdown support is probably not necessary, but bulleted lists, italic and bold would be a good start.
Can't access 'Account Settings'
I noticed some odd things with my PowerShell Gallery Account today.
I can't:
- Access
Account Settings
, it returns500 - Internal Server Error
I can:
- Authenticate with my outlook account (2FA)
- manage my packages, manage API keys etc..
- Repro in Incognito
Also I noticed a different email address when i click on my profile 😝 (mine is [email protected]
)
I don't think my account got compromised.
Anybody can repro ?
PoshTest Gallery is not sending the correct 'latest version' package information
PoshTest Gallery is not sending the correct package information for "isLatestVersion" and "IsAbsoluteLatestVersion".
I have a module, PMTestModule that takes a dependency on a module PMTestDepenency1. There are two versions of this dependency, version 1.0 which is listed and version 1.0.1 which is unlisted.
Running Save-Package -name PMTestModule -source PoshTest -path . -requiredversion 1.0.2
Saves PMTestDependency1 version 1.0 instead of the latest version, 1.0.1.
Package Management's Nuget Provider iterates through all the versions of all the modules, but I noticed that when I print out the attributes for each module, PMTestDependency1 v1.0 has "IsLatestVersion" and "IsAbsoluteLatestVersion" attributes set to true, and PMTestDependency1 v.1.0.1 has the two set to false, when it should be the other way around.
Ultimately this is preventing Package Management from saving or installing the latest version of a dependency if that version is unlisted.
PS Gallery Error 500 attempting to login to manage modules
The Gallery should move to GitHub Commenting
Please note that this is not an official proposal/committed work but a chance for community feedback and discussion on where the Gallery should go with commenting
Motivation
Livefyre, the current commenting service on the Gallery, doesn't always produce a great experience and it is difficult for us to quickly resolve bugs when they occur because it is a 3rd party service.
The text format of the comments is not ideal for commenting and debugging code.
Many package comments don't have a good response time because it can be difficult
for package owners to manage multiple flows of feedback.
Since many package owners already host their projects on GitHub and respond to issues
there, there is an opportunity to integrate these flows.
We believe that by integrating the Gallery comment section with Git Hub issues we
can improve the overall experience for both publishers and consumers.
Specification
- A comment on the package page would open an issue on the GitHub project site
- The feedback commenting system would be similar to the model used by Microsoft Docs
- The commenting system would need to be configurable for those who host their
packages on other repositories - Users should be able to read comments without needing an account of any type
- Users will need/create a GitHub account to comment on packages
- Livefyre commenting would remain, at least intermediately, for those without project sites
Open Questions
- Would using GitHub instead of Livefyre be automatic, or opt-in?
- Would old Livefyre comments be retained on the page?
Full stats UI looks odd if only 1 version of package
Find a package with only 1 version, I used psnodejsmanager.
In the left nav, select "View Full Stats"
The UI looks very strange with a single bar taking the whole graph .
Would be better if the bar had a max width

Filtering isnt persistant across page scrolling
If you chose a filter it works on the first page but once you begin scrolling across pages of results the filters go away.
If you select a filter it should remain filtered as you browse pages.
No caching headers specified in some responses
This leaves caching entirely up to the browser, and in some cases it will serve stale content quite a long time. Eg:
$resp = iwr https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerShellGet

Cache-Control:private prevents a proxy from storing the page, but we don't set max-age or etags so browser has to guess. When a new version of a package is published, users may be confused that this version-independent URL doesn't update (because their local browser is caching it).
Show nuget package location link in UI
When deploying Azure automation with custom modules, the ARM template supports a URL for the package.
Until now, i need to query this out by script.
Would be great if the gallery UI would show this URL so i can simply copy/paste it into my ARM template.

No way to sign in with different account
Our company uses Azure ADFS integration, but I use a personal account for the PowerShell Gallery. When I go to https://www.powershellgallery.com/users/account/LogOn and choose to Sign in with Microsoft
it does not prompt me for which account I want to sign in as. Instead it tries to sign me in using my work email address, and when it cannot find an associated account it asks me to provide a username so it can create one. There does not seem to be any way for me to choose to sign in using a different email address; namely my personal one. Many other Microsoft sites prompt which account I want to sign in as before attempting to sign me in. The PowerShell Gallery website seems to be missing this functionality.
I was able to fix this by going to another Microsoft website (visualstudio.com) and signing out of my work account from there. Then when attempting to sign in to the PowerShell Gallery website it prompted me for which address I wanted to use. It seems silly that I need to go to some other website to do this though and cannot do it from the PowerShell Gallery website.
problems with Hash values
Im trying to install AzureRM.Profile and hitting the following error message:
Completed downloading 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/package/AzureRM.profile/5.8.3'.
Completed downloading 'AzureRM.profile'.
Hash for package 'AzureRM.profile' does not match hash provided from the server.
If a package has an icon with an http:// url it is used on https:// pages and browser reports the page as insecure
Repro: open https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Daterpillar.Automation/4.8.8
Observe in browser toolbar the page is shown as 'not secure'. That's because the page fetches datapiller.png via HTTP.
Should we use https? In this case the image is not fetchable via http but maybe that's still preferable.
Release Notes of the package not shown in the UI
I believe the release notes of the packages were shown in the previous old UI, i do not see it any more..
may be i have seen it only in the nuget like below?
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Azure.Management.Compute/
Some packages are not available for download on the east coast
Around the time the new version of the site was published I could no longer access certain packages. An example is xActiveDirectory
. It appears to be a problem with the CDN, as I've tested the following download URL from hosts located in different regions.
https://psg-prod-eastus.azureedge.net/packages/xactivedirectory.2.21.0.nupkg
When trying to access this endpoint from Washington, DC I get the following response:
<BlockList>
<CommittedBlocks/>
</BlockList>
This is true for package versions 0.21.0
and 0.20.0
while 0.19.0
and below are available.
When trying the URL from a hosts in Dallas, TX, Sacramento, CA all versions are available.
Another package with the same behavior is AzureRM.profile

Documentation link on Item Page is confusing
The new description of the documentation link is better. Most customers expect that to link to go to documentation for the Item.
Question - How is this documentation link any different than the documentation link in the page header?
Suggestion - Keep the documentation link but make it clearer that is documentation for the deployment method selected. Also, make that link context sensitive. For example:
- On the Install Module tab link to https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/powershellget/install-module
- On the Azure Automation tab link to https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/gallery/how-to/working-with-items/deploy-to-azure-automation
- On the Manual Download tab link to https://aka.ms/psgallery-manualdownload

Error on Install-Module: failed to be installed because: End of Central Directory record could not be found

Users vs. Download counts: useful metrics and what to do about it...
We (the PowerShell community) need to have a conversation about how the current default sorting algorithms in the gallery affect the development community (module authors) and user's perceptions of popularity and quality.
Currently the PowerShell gallery highlights the "Top" modules by download count:
This table is ruled by modules which are needed in Builds, CI, test automation, and to a lesser degree, automation of the environments needed for those activities. Modules which get picked up and used in builds will float straight to the top.
The system is inherently exploitable: all you need to do is set up a build on an Azure Pipeline that runs on a schedule and downloads a module each time ... the gallery doesn't care that all the downloads come from one build server because in fact, most of the downloads do come from a relatively small number of servers.
The problem with this is that the community's perception of module popularity is being governed not by how many users a module has, or how useful it is, or how many commands it has that people use every day, but by whether or not it has a command that is useful in builds, continuous integration, or continuous deployment/testing.
Modules that aren't used in CI processes are simply never going to show up in the "Top" module list, and are handicapped relative to other modules in search results as well (although the default search is sorted by "relevance", it's not clear what the "popularity" metric is using #31).
As a consequence, we are strongly encouraging PowerShell module authors to focus on CI modules and management installs and testing, rather than on management of production resources -- and to produce modules that work from build servers and required installation oneach server, rather than modules that work from your desktop....
What else do you see?
Gallery Reports Script Analyzer Evaluation Parser Error
PowerShell Gallery reports ScriptAnalyzer failures to module authors that use classes from a RequiredModule.
For example, the VSTeam module depends on SHiPS and when it is evaluated by the gallery, there are parser errors as the classes that define the attributes used are not discovered by the Script Analyzer.

Unable to add new owner (owner not found)
I'm trying to add an owner to a package we have published already. When I type in the username (email address) of the intended new owner, I receive an error:

ReleaseNotes not showing up after publishing module
We published a new version of our module and included release notes in the publish-module command. Those notes are not showing up associated with the module. Is this a known issue/is there a good workaround?
Sorting query results by popularity produces unexpected results
Repro: Search for 'sqlite' and sort by popularity. The top result is SQLite, with 1937 downloads, and PSSqlite with 13,811 downloads is 3rd. In general the ordering doesn't make much sense.
Similarly for other queries, eg 'database'
No validation of version number mismatches between .nuspec and .psd1
I'm running into more and more packages where the version number in the .nuspec file does not match the version number in the .psd1 of the module. This is bad.
A small handful of examples:
This causes problems with software like ProGet as I guess ProGet can only depend upon the .nuspec version number as it applies to the entire NuGet package.
I don't know whether ProGet plays a specific part in this problem but I don't believe that ProGet reading the package version number from the .nuspec file is unreasonable.
As a result, when a package is installed from a ProGet repository onto a Windows machine, it ends up in the wrong location, e.g.
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\SqlServerDsc\12.2.0
... where the .psd1 actually says 12.2.0.0
. Then PowerShell refuses to load the module because it believes the manifest is incorrect.
I feel that it is a bug that PowerShellGallery allows packages to be uploaded with obvious version mismatches in the metadata like this.
It should either prevent the upload with a very clear warning or update the .nuspec file to match the version as specified in the .psd1 file.
Truncated descriptions can leave a URL which goes nowhere
In the description for https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SqlServer/21.1.18080
You see:
This module allows SQL Server developers, administrators and business intelligence professionals to automate database development and server administration, as well as both multidimensional and tabular cube processing.
For automation with SSRS & Power BI Report Server, use the ReportingServicesTools module available at https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Repor
[View More]
The last part is a clickable URL but goes to https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Repor rather than the full URL. Ideally we would interpret readme.md and use that instead of the description if present, but there are several improvements we could make like leaving out the whole URL if it is truncated, etc.
Publishing modules based on other modules in preview
I wanted to publish a module as Preview based on another Preview module. It doesn't seem to see Preview modules.
When I tried changing 0.7.2 to 1.0.0 it fails. I see no other option to add Preview5 for example as a required module.
RequiredModules = @{
ModuleVersion = '0.7.2'
ModuleName = 'PSWriteWord'
GUID = '6314c78a-d011-4489-b462-91b05ec6a5c4'
}, @{
ModuleVersion = '0.1'
ModuleName = 'PSWriteExcel'
GUID = '82232c6a-27f1-435d-a496-929f7221334b'

IsAbsoluteLatestVersion is false for all versions in some packages
For example, here's the WindowsCompatibility package (which currently has only one version):
As you can see, the API reports the latest version as not being the latest version:

Problem with PSYAML
This code I published a while back called PSYAML was used without my permission for the module PSYAML on this site. I wouldn't mind about this if it worked properly and if I had access to it to keep it up to date and working. It doesn't, and I don't. I have tried on several times to message the person credited with the copyright to alert him that the code needs mending, but your mail system seems to be broken. I keep getting the message that I failed 'Recapcha'.
Typo under 'Azure Automation' tab
On every packages page under "Installation Options" under the "Azure Automation" tab there's a typo:
You can deploy this package directly to Azure Automation. Note that deploying packages with dependencies will deloy all the dependencies to Azure Automation.

API Keys: "Push new packages and package versions" only works if you specify a Glob in "Select Packages"
Consider the following Key:
I would like to push a brand new package so I selected:
"Push new packages and package versions"
If I leave both the Glob and Available Packages blank, I get the red text:
Either a glob pattern must be specified or at least one package ID must be selected.
So I just selected a package under Available packages because I wanted to just publish a new package and since I selected "Push new packages and package versions" I figured this would work fine.
Sadly, this throws a:
'Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (The specified API key is invalid, has expired, or does not have permission to access the specified package.).
What I needed to do was put a *
in the Glob section instead of selecting packages to get this to work.
Possible fixes
- Have a default value for the Glob section like
*
- Warn that the user must use Glob if they want to publish new packages
- Allow the user to select nothing which will allow that key to only publish new packages
- Allow the user to publish new packages in addition to the ones selected in Available Packages if they specify "Push new packages and package versions"
Thanks for the help figuring this out @bmanikm !

Can't request JSON response with API calls to /api/v2
Hi. We rely on the powershell gallery API on https://shields.io/ to generate badges which are used by many popular powershell gallery projects. Since the recent updates to powershell gallery, we are now unable to request data from the API in JSON format - it seems the content negotiation header is no longer respected. For example, if I call
$ curl -H "Accept: application/atom+json,application/json" "https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/Packages()?$filter=Id%20eq%20'ACMESharp'%20and%20IsLatestVersion%20eq%20true"
this now unexpectedly returns an XML response. This means none of our powershell gallery badges will render because the code that generates them expects JSON and fails to parse the XML response. Examples:
- https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell#modules
- https://github.com/Microsoft/powerbi-powershell#powershell-modules
- https://github.com/Microsoft/vssetup.powershell#visual-studio-setup-powershell-module
Do we now need to pass a different header, or is this a bug? It would be great if we could get these fixed for our mutual users.
