Andrew Suh (@andrewsuh98) thanks for bringing this issue to our attention, we will investigate into it!

[alerickson]

I actually can't repro this on my machine. Andrew Suh (@andrewsuh98) could you run Get-PSResourceRepository so we can see what repositories you have registered. Anam Navied (@anamnavi) could you try repro'ing this as well?

[andrewsuh98]

alerickson I have not registered the PSGallery as trusted. Is that something that should be done beforehand? Shouldn't it still install the resource after asking the user if it should trust the gallery? Here is my PowerShell output for Get-PSResourceRepository.

Name         Uri                                      Trusted Priority
----         ---                                      ------- --------

PSGallery    https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2 False   50

We can add better error handling here for when a .nupkg package is attempted to be installed yet does not contain a .ps1 or .psd1 file (i.e it is not a PowerShell resource).

[mgreenegit]

Andrew Suh (@andrewsuh98) the problem is that PSGet is finding NuGet packages from the NuGet feed, and detecting they are not PowerShell content. AFAIK there is no filter in NuGet feeds by type, so this cannot be handled during the search.

I agree the error message can be improved. Could that be a post-GA issue? This does not seem to be blocking.
