Summary
I was trying out the new Microsoft.Adapter/PowerShell and use the psmodulepath to add custom modules, but it doesn't seem to work. In the old way, it's possible to do something like:
$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
resources:
- name: Custom module
type: Microsoft.DSC/PowerShell
properties:
psmodulepath: C:\CustomModules;<existingModulePaths>
resources:
- name: PowerShell 7 Preview
type: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage # Direct resource type
properties:
Id: Microsoft.PowerShell.Preview
Ensure: Present
Then, in the new way, I would expect something like:
$schema: https://aka.ms/dsc/schemas/v3/bundled/config/document.json
resources:
- name: PowerShell 7 Preview
type: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
metadata:
Microsoft.DSC:
requireAdapter: Microsoft.Adapter/PowerShell
# psmodulepath: C:\CustomModules
properties:
Id: Microsoft.PowerShell.Preview
Ensure: Present
psmodulepath: C:\CustomModules;<existingModulePaths>
But that's going to fail with: Exception: The property 'psmodulepath' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
Steps to reproduce
Run above examples with dsc config get
Expected behavior
Expect to be able to use custom module paths.
Actual behavior
Not able to use custom module path

Research direction
Reproduce both YAML examples with dsc config get using dsc 3.2.0-preview.11, then trace how Microsoft.Adapter/PowerShell handles the psmodulepath property. Done means a custom module path is accepted in the new adapter-based configuration and the command completes without the missing-property exception.
