Powershell publish-module now failing in 2.1-bionic

[bo67192]

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Using a dockerfile like this

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:2.1-bionic
RUN dotnet tool install --global PowerShell \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install zip python3 python3-pip -y \
    && pip3 install awscli --upgrade
RUN export PATH="$PATH:/root/.dotnet/tools" \
    && export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH \
    && pwsh "Install-Module AWSLambdaPSCore -Confirm:\$false -force; Import-Module AWSLambdaPSCore;"

ENTRYPOINT [ "pwsh" ]

ENV PATH="~/.local/bin:/root/.dotnet/tools:${PATH}"

2. And a psd1 file like

3. Then run

new-item -itemtype Directory -Path /tmp/ -Name "localpsrepo";
Register-PSRepository -Name LocalPSRepo -SourceLocation '/tmp/localpsrepo' -ScriptSourceLocation '/tmp/localpsrepo' -InstallationPolicy Trusted;
publish-module -Name '/<path_to_psd>/CommonFunctions.psd1' -Repository LocalPSRepo -NuGetApiKey 'AnyStringWillDo';

4. I see

PS /tmp> publish-module -Name '/tmp/ssm/windows-general-config/util/CommonFunctions.psd1' -Repository LocalPSRepo -NuGetApiKey 'AnyStringWillDo';

WARNING: This module '/tmp/275929146/CommonFunctions/CommonFunctions.psd1' has exported functions. As a best practice, include exported functions in the module manifest file(.psd1). You can run Update-ModuleManifest -FunctionsToExport to update the manifest with ExportedFunctions field.

5. The interesting part looks to be

 The DateTimeOffset specified cannot be converted into a Zip file timestamp. 

Expected behavior

I would expect it to create a valid nuget package file in /tmp/localpsrepo/

Actual behavior

I get the error

Additional information (e.g. issue happens only occasionally)

This was working about a week and a half ago, on the same base container.

I had mentioned this here and @MichaelSimons suggested moving this over here.

He thought it might be related to this Nuget issue

I'm stumped, and I'd really appreciate any help!

[iSazonov]

@bo67192 The cmdlet is not in the repo, it is in PowerShellGet repository. Please move the issue there.

[SydneyhSmith]

@bo67192 thanks for reporting this issue, you mentioned

This was working about a week and a half ago, on the same base container.

When this was working what version of dotnet were you using?

Thanks!
It would also be great to know if you are able to repro this locally, outside of a container?

[SydneyhSmith]

Looking closer we agree that it seems like the issue you linked may be the same, curious if you have tried any of the workarounds mentioned in that issue?

[MichaelSimons]

@SydneyhSmith - I agree the linked NuGet issue mentions some potential workarounds, the thing I noticed was that something publish-module was doing seemed to be resetting the file timestamps. Why is this happening? Is the underlying issue outside of NuGet?

[bo67192]

@SydneyhSmith , I had some issues come up at work that made me move away from this work for a while, the last I know it was working was for a team demo on January 14th.

I'm looking at the workarounds, but I'm not sure how I would run them. I'm not directly running any msbuild commands, so how could I inject

Get-ChildItem -File -Recurse | % {$_.LastWriteTime = (Get-Date)}

into the middle of a publish-module?

Appreciate any help you can provide!

[avishnyakov]

Folks, @MichaelSimons @SydneyhSmith @bo67192 did we have progress on this problem? I spent several days hitting the same problem here - https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellGet/issues/584

Still, not clear on the path forward.
