Support Using Class Object Method in command used in the SCriptblock

[Strada-EricFr]

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

What is the current behavior?
Is it possible to use a object class method to be used in the Scripblock ?

example:
tart-ThreadJob -ScriptBlock {
# Get Ticket Properties from database
$lv_Tems.GetItempProperties([oracleDb]$DBConnection)

Unable to find type [oracleDb].
InvalidOperation:

How is it possible to make it work ?
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem

What is the expected behavior?

Which versions of Powershell and which OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of our scripts?

Please provide a code example showing the issue, if applicable:

there is no type accelerator [oracleDb] in the powershell by default
so you got it somewhere.
Add it in the same way to your script :)
This can be import-module or add-type
and if your $lv_Tems from outside world, add it too.

HiCan you explain ?Give an example? This oracledb is a class define in module file psm1I import in my script with : using module oracle class.psm1Then I wan to execute multiple sql call (method) for an oracle object of type [oracledb] How can I make the class [oracledb] in the blockscript ?ThanksRegardsOn 6 Oct 2022, at 15:36, Max Kozlov ***@***.***> wrote: there is no type accelerator [oracleDb] in the powershell by default so you got it somewhere.

The Start-RSJob have -ModulesToImport parameter, use it for your module.

The Start-RSJobs's scriptblock itself has no method call restrictions, but it runs in a new runspace and has no imported modules or variables other than those you passed to it via -xxxToImport parameters

[Strada-EricFr]

Ok thanksDoes it take into account the class defined in the module ?On 6 Oct 2022, at 19:56, Max Kozlov ***@***.***> wrote: The Start-RSJob have -ModulesToImport parameter, use it for your module.

Hi, I have a class file : class\ORacleDBClass.psm1 containing the class [oracleDB] Then execute the following $OracleConnection = [Oracledb]::new(); $lv_result = CreateHRWDBConnection -DBConnection $OracleConnection -Open $true -Policy $RetryPolicy; $TicketITems = [HrxTicket]::new() Start-RSJob -Throttle $MaxJobs -Batch "Demo" -argumentlist $OracleConnection, $TicketITems -Verbose -ModulesToImport 'C:\TicketPDFGenerator\Class\OracleDBClass.psm1' -ScriptBlock { param([psobject]$lv_connection, [psobject]$lv_TicketITems) import-module 'C:\TicketPDFGenerator\Class\OracleDBClass.psm1' -PassThru -Verbose import-module 'C:\TicketPDFGenerator\Class\Class\HrXTicketClass.psm1' -PassThru -Verbose $lv_TicketITems.GetTicketAttributes([oracleDb]$lv_connection) } Get-RSJob ***@***.*** ***@***.*** Regards, Eric From: Eric FRANCKX ***@***.***> Sent: Thursday, 6 October 2022 20:54 To: Eric Franckx ***@***.***> Subject: Fwd: [proxb/PoshRSJob] Support Using Class Object Method in command used in the SCriptblock (Issue #215) [External]

you can skip import-module inside scriptblock but add HrXTicketClass to -Import parameter.
it is equivalent to import-module inside

and your variant doesn't work?
what error you get?

[Strada-EricFr]

I need to use import parameter : import module ?

you can use either one or the other
but recommended way -ModulesToImport parameter

HiHere it is well explain function and module are uploaded by not classesUsing Statement: Import PowerShell Classes from Modules - SAPIEN Information Center | SAPIEN Information Centerinfo.sapien.comI’m i wrong ?But with:  using module ….

do you mean this?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_using?view=powershell-7.2

yes, there is restriction

The using statements must come before any other statements in a script or module. No uncommented statement can precede it, including parameters.

Afaik it just syntax sugar
instead of

using namespace System.IO
[Stream]$memorystream = [MemoryStream]::new($stringbytes)

you can just write

[System.IO.Stream]$memorystream = [System.IO.MemoryStream]::new($stringbytes)

So, your scriptblock can be rewritten without using using :)
and what happens inside the module is the problem of the module

HiI try the importmodule, and during debugging but i would like to check if the import works fine and also base on some doc/info sels that natively powershell doesn’t know class define in file when using import module command but work well with command : using module at the start of the script (as first command)RegardsEricSent from my iPhoneOn 7 Oct 2022, at 08:21, Max Kozlov ***@***.***> wrote: you can use either one or the other but recommended way -ModulesToImport paramete—Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

But also restriction for bested class or .
