Updating a PowerShell module

I needed to update my navcontainerhelper to be able to use the new features that Freddy had blogged about here and in this tweet :-

 

To do that I did the following :-

I checked my current navcontainerhelper version by running the below commands from an elevated PowerShell ISE

Import-Module navcontainerhelper
Get-Module navcontainerhelper | Select Version

The output told me I was running a rather old version : 0.3.1.4

Version
-------
0.3.1.4

So, to update it I uninstalled and reinstalled it with :-

Uninstall-Module navcontainerhelper -RequiredVersion '0.3.1.4'
Install-Module navcontainerhelper

After accepting the warnings and then closing and re-opening my PowerShell ISE, I could check that my version had been updated by running the Import-Module and Get-Module from my first step.

Version
-------
0.5.0.6

I have had to used this method to update some of my Office 365 and Azure PowerShell modules in the past to get access to some of the new commands.

Now to experiment with running tests using the new navcontainerhelper commands…
