I see this is fixed in Master. Is there a schedule for when this will get published?

Hello,

I am receiving this same error when executing just Get-ITGlueFlexibleAssetFields alone, alongside attempting to provide the required ID argument.

Am I calling the function wrong alongside this issue? Or is this issue larger than just the Get-Help response?

If this was fixed here in git, it's still not reflecting in PSGallery.

Thanks guys!

I know that the problem is is because you cannot use [Nullable[String]]$variable_name but I never understood why.

Nullable<T> Struct takes a value type variable and System.String is a reference type variable. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.nullable-1?view=net-5.0

Type Parameters

T The underlying value type of the Nullable<T> generic type.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/programming-guide/language-features/data-types/value-types-and-reference-types

There are two kinds of types in Visual Basic: reference types and value types. Variables of reference types store references to their data (objects), while variables of value types directly contain their data.

Reference Types

A reference type stores a reference to its data. Reference types include the following:

• String

 

In short, [Nullable[String]]$filter_name = $null -> [String]$filter_name = $null should be enough, and = $null might not even be necessary `.

function Test-Function {
    param(
        $variable
    )

    if($variable) {
        Write-Host ('$s is {0}.' -f $variable)
    }
}

Test-Function                      # No output
Test-Function -variable "a string" # Outputs "$s is a string."

I have already fixed this issue a few months ago in #117 but I forgot to change the module version. I have created a PR to correct the version (latest should be 2.1.1, published is 2.1.0) but I cannot merge or publish to PowerShell Gallery.

Using the changes in the latest code (copied manually from the site) I get

This is lines 47 and 50 having [Nullable[String]] Replaced by [String] as the current code shows, not the module itself which is a release behind it looks like.

Hey all - just as an update, this should be taken care of in v2.2.0 (released this week). Please feel free to open a new issue if that is not the case.

Cheers!
