I'm not fully sure were you got the error, but if I'm looking at the resource manifest first: get:
executable: pwsh
args:
- -NoLogo
- -NonInteractive
- -NoProfile
- -NoProfileLoadTime
- -CommandWithArgs
- |
$vars = Get-Variable
$vars
return ($vars | ConvertTo-Json -Compress)
input: stdinIt should be: get:
executable: pwsh
args: [
"-NoLogo"
"-NonInteractive"
etc....
]
input: stdinFor a better example, check out the: https://github.com/PowerShell/DSC/blob/main/powershell-adapter/powershell.dsc.resource.json |

Hi, are you saying that only configuration documents can be written in YAML or JSON. Resources has to be JSON?

Quite the opposite. Both should be able to accept JSON and YAML, even thought most resource examples are written in JSON. What I was mainly looking at, was how your resource manifest was build up. If you look to the PsAdapter one, the arguments are different. Can you take a look to that one and try to pass the arguments the same way in your resource manifest? That might do the trick or point you in the right direction. |

Class-based? That would mean you don't need a resource manifest. |

I heard about run as radio. Wasn't Jason on there also? I've got something (probably) in the future planned with Andrew Pla, but you can always hit me up on Discord or LinkedIn. |

OSInfo, TSToy and others examples are not covering it all.
How do you pass paramets, arguments if you wish between the config yaml and the resource yaml file.
Im looking to do inline PowerShell 7+ in the resources
