Save-Module -name Az vs. find-module -name az.*

[Petri-X]

Hi,

I need to do manual installations for the Az -modules, so I have used command
PS C:\> save-module -name az -Path "C:\Temp\Azure\AZ.11.2.0\" -Repository psgallery
To get local copy from the AZ modules.

Recently I started to wondering, why I'm missing some of the modules, like az.botservice etc..

So I did compare:
find-module -name az.* | Measure-Object
That returns 193 findings.

But
save-module -name az
Is saving only 86 modules??

And this should not be the case either for Az.BotService:
IsPrerelease : false

Any thoughts what I'm doing incorrectly in this time :)

Hi @Petri-X , the roll-up module Az only includes the stable modules, which excludes the pre-GA modules (marked by version = 0.x.x). For example, Az.BotServices is v0.5.0.

You can still get what you want by not saving Az but AzPreview. It's designed to include both stable and pre-GA modules. And it's released together with Az.
