Prerequisites
Steps to reproduce
- Create a PSD1 with the following contents:
[ordered]@{
TestCase = "foo"
TestCase2 = "bar"
TestCase3 = [ordered]@{
"bar" = "baz"
"baz" = "bar"
}
}
- Save the file to disk, e.g. name
MRTC.psd1.
- Call
import-powershelldatafile .\path\to\MRTC.psd1 inside another order-sensitive function, like ConvertTo-Json.
Expected behavior
PS> convertto-json (Import-PowerShellDataFile .\MRTC.psd1 -SkipLimitCheck)
{
"TestCase": "foo",
"TestCase3": {
"baz": "bar",
"bar": "baz"
},
"TestCase2": "bar"
}Actual behavior
PS> Import-PowerShellDataFile .\MRTC.psd1
