Does not work at all

[bitleader]

After installing the module none of the available cmdlet work. They always give the same error messages:

Write-Error: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DestinationPath'.
WARNING: pwshEmojiExplorer was unable to source the required data set file.
WARNING: Ensure you have an active internet connection

I'm not able to duplicate this issue on any test device.

This module does require downloading an external data file.

As your error indicates, does the device you are running from have an active internet connection?
If so, can you resolve: cloudfront.net ?

pwshEmojiExplorer will not function without the ability to download the data set.

If you confirm internet connectivity to cloudfront, can you also provide the output of the command you are running with both -Verbose and -Debug switches?

Hello @techthoughts2,

Thanks for your suggestions. I noticed that the cmdlets work on Windows PowerShell but do not work on Microsoft PowerShell v7.4.6. Here are the verbosed output:

psh ❯ Get-Emoji -Emoji '😀' -Verbose

Compare to the working one I noticed that on Microsoft PowerShell the file D:\users\xxx\doc\PowerShell\pwshEmojiExplorer\pwshEmoji.xml is not created.

Hope this helps you.

On my test systems, I'm still unable to re-produce. Its working for PowerShell v7.4.6.

Can you please provide the output from these two commands?

Command 1:

Get-Emoji -Emoji '😀' -Verbose -Debug

Command 2:

$PSVersionTable;$PROFILE

[bitleader]

Sure.

The error probably comes from my PowerShell config. Pscx module is loaded on every PS session and Pscx module override Expand-Archive cmdlet.

Sorry. It is my bad.

[techthoughts2]

Yes, I was just looking at PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive#52 as a possible cause.

I will still look into seeing if I can add a catch for this scenario.
