Description
**Bicep version**
bicep --version: 0.16.2
Bicep VS Code Extension Version: 0.18.4
**Describe the bug**
When a deploymentScripts resource is called from a module and the .ps1 file changes, the extension command to build or publish the template ignores the changes. When executing ```biceps build```, the change is considered.
This bug only occurs when the script is referenced from a module. When the deploymentScripts resource is places in the main bicep file, the change is considered from both the Extension as well from the CLI.
The bug could be related to #9590
**To Reproduce**
Files to reproduce:
main.bicep
```
module submodule 'module.bicep' = {
name: 'module'
}
resource mainScript 'Microsoft.Resources/deploymentScripts@2020-10-01' = {
name: 'mainScript'
kind: 'AzurePowerShell'
location: resourceGroup().location
properties: {
azPowerShellVersion: '7.5.0'
scriptContent: loadTextContent('./scriptMain.ps1')
retentionInterval: 'PT1H'
}
}
```
module.bicep
```
resource moduleScript 'Microsoft.Resources/deploymentScripts@2020-10-01' = {
name: 'moduleScript'
kind: 'AzurePowerShell'
location: resourceGroup().location
properties: {
azPowerShellVersion: '7.5.0'
scriptContent: loadTextContent('./scriptModule.ps1')
retentionInterval: 'PT1H'
}
}
```
scriptMain.ps1
```
param (
[string]$Name
)
```
scriptModule.ps1
```
param (
[string]$Name
)
```
Any changes to the scriptModule.ps1 are ignored by the extension.
Changes to the scriptMain.ps1 are taken for the build.

Research direction
Start with the provided main.bicep, module.bicep, scriptMain.ps1, and scriptModule.ps1 files, then compare the VS Code extension's build or publish behavior with the CLI build. Trace how changes to loadTextContent('./scriptModule.ps1') are tracked when the deploymentScripts resource is in a module. Done means module script changes are recognized by the extension as they are by the CLI.
