Powershell: Module manifest .psd1 file on linux/mac doesn't support ProcessorArchitecture='AMD64' or 'x86'

Created on 30 Mar 2018 · 8Comments · Source: PowerShell/PowerShell

Steps to reproduce

On Linux/Mac:
Open any module .psd1 file and update/ add the following line:
ProcessorArchitecture = 'Amd64'
OR
ProcessorArchitecture ='x86'

Please note: ProcessorArchitecture='None' seems to work.

Expected behavior

The module should be discoverable using Get-Module -ListAvailable and Import-Module should work fine as it does on Windows.

Actual behavior

The module is not listed using Get-Module and Import-Module fails with this error:

Import-Module : Unable to load DLL 'api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-1-0.dll': The specified module or one of its dependencies could not be found.
 (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Import-Module], DllNotFoundException

Just ran across this myself. Was going to file a separate issue, but will throw my comments in here instead. I'm not sure if this is specific to compiled modules or not, but that's how I came across mine.

Steps to reproduce

Create a cmdlet in C# targetting .NET Standard (I used 2.0, not sure the version matters) and compile it via dotnet publish --self-contained.
Create a .psd1 manifest for that module
Specify the output assembly file in NestedModules in the .psd1
Specify a ProcessorArchitecture of Amd64 in the .psd1
Attempt to import the module

Expected behavior

The module is imported properly on non-Windows systems

Actual behavior

On Windows systems, the module imports properly.
On non-Windows systems, the module import will fail with the following error:

ipmo : Unable to load shared library 'api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-1-0.dll' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: libapi-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-1-0.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
