#Requires -Version 3.0 <# .Synopsis Re-Imports a module from the given path. .DESCRIPTION The function can be used in a Pester test script to load a module from the developer path by removing all already loaded modules with the same name. .EXAMPLE Import-ModuleFromPath . Reloads the module from the current location .EXAMPLE Import-ModuleFromPath ..\anymodule Reloads the module from the relative path .EXAMPLE Import-ModuleFromPath C:\path\to\module Reloads the module from the absolute path .EXAMPLE Import-ModuleFromPath -Parent Reloads the module by analyzing the PSCallStack. The module folder must be located in the parent folder. The Parent switch can be used when the tests folder is located inside the module folder. c:\path\to\module |-- module.psm1 (or module.psd1) |-- tests |-- some.tests.ps1 If the function "Import-ModuleFromPath -Parent" is being used inside the "some.tests.ps1"" Pester test, the import function resolves the module path "c:\path\to\module" #> function Import-ModuleFromPath{ [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName='ByPath')] Param ( # The path to the module folder. [Parameter( ParameterSetName='ByPath', Mandatory, Position=0 )] [string] $Path, # Indicates that the module should be loaded from the parent folder of the current # invocation scope.
