RequiredVersion of ConsoleGuiTools is outdated.

[klennan]

F7History.psd1 has a hardcoded dependency on v0.7.4 of ConsoleGuiTools, which is now at v0.7.5.35

I suggest using "ModuleVersion" instead of "RequiredVersion" to make a softer minimum version dependency.

I am having the same issue.

Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools is now at version 0.7.6.0 as of 2023-10-27. This latest version includes the command Show-ObjectTree, which I am unable to use at the same time as F7History due to the version conflict.

I request allowing newer versions of Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools as well. (i.e. replace the exact-version specifier RequiredVersion in F7History.psd1 with the minimum-version specifier ModuleVersion instead)

Sorry about this folks.

I'm confused about ModuleVersion and RequiredVersion

In order to build/test locally, I have a build script that looks at a local PS repo for ConsoleGuiTools and if found updates F7History.ps1 to force use of it (updating RequiredVersion). This is what I pushed to this repo.

Can you point me at docs that show how to effectively use ModuleVersion instead.?

No worries! Here's the doc:

Looking at your implementation, I think you could simply swap RequiredVersion for ModuleVersion and it would work just fine without needing any other changes.

v1.4 has been published. I think I did it right ;-).

I had to disable my CI/CD unit tests (which are pretty lame anyway) because of Pester v5 and me being confused. I'll fix those asap.

Can y'all verify this was done correctly? If so I'll close this issue.

Pretty sure v1.4.1 which was just published fixes this.

I can confirm that the issue is resolved. I am able to import and successfully use version 0.7.6.0 of the module Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools simultaneously with version 1.4.1 of the module F7History.

Thank you!
