powershell sdk package validate
Use this skill when validating SDK packaging changes, checking a PowerShell release bump before opening a PR, or diagnosing Devolutions.PowerShell.SDK package layout/apphost issues.
This skill wraps the repository's canonical local build script and passes values from .github\workflows\powershell-sdk.yml, so validation follows the same explicit pins used by GitHub Actions.
Prerequisites
- PowerShell 7 (
pwsh).
- .NET SDK and build prerequisites required by upstream PowerShell.
- Initialized
pwsh-src/ submodule:
pwsh .\scripts\Initialize-Repository.ps1
Scripts
scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1: Reads current workflow pins, runs the pin audit, then calls scripts\Build-LocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -Validate...\\powershell-pin-audit\\scripts\\Test-PowerShellPins.ps1: Confirms pins agree before spending time on a local build...\\..\\..\\..\\scripts\\Build-LocalPowerShellSdk.ps1: Canonical local package build and validation implementation...\\..\\..\\..\\eng\\Validate-PowerShellSdkPackage.ps1: Canonical package validation script.
Usage
Build and validate for the current host runtime identifier:
pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1
Validate a specific RID supported by the local build script:
pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -RuntimeIdentifier win-x64
Use a specific NuGet CLI:
pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -NuGetExe C:\tools\nuget.exe
Skip the pre-build pin audit only when intentionally debugging a partially edited tree:
pwsh .\.agents\skills\powershell-sdk-package-validate\scripts\Build-AndValidateLocalPowerShellSdk.ps1 -SkipPinAudit
Expected output
The canonical build writes under output\local-sdk\<rid>\ and emits:
package\Devolutions.PowerShell.SDK.<version>.nupkgPowerShell-AppHost\ source-built apphost files- validation output proving restore, build, framework-dependent publish, self-contained publish, apphost execution, and built-in module loading
