Test-ModuleManifest should not check everything incl .dll, xml, resouces files #2610
Description
It looks like the behavior of Test-ModuleManifest has been changed. It checks all files under one folder. It might be a good feature addition if came with a new switch. This behavior should not be ON by default. Please see the errors below. It complains about psget.resources.psd1 or format.ps1xml, or even checkin dll is not valid manifest. These errors are unexpected.
Steps to reproduce
- go to PS /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0-alpha.11/Modules/PowerShellGet>
- Test-ModuleManifest -Path ./PowerShellGet.psd1
or try PSReadline.psd1
Expected behavior
No error
Actual behavior
PS /opt/microsoft/powershell/6.0.0-alpha.11/Modules/PowerShellGet> Test-ModuleManifest -Path ./PowerShellGet.psd1

Submitted #3097 to fix this. Note that the issue seems to really only be that test-modulemanifest didn't normalize paths correctly and had a hard coded '' for directory separator so it wouldn't ever work on non-Windows. You'll still get one error for PowerShellGet.psd1 on Linux because the RequiredModule version doesn't match what is on Linux.
Fix Test-Modulemanifest to normalize paths correctly before validating (
