Prerequisites

  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
  • Search the existing issues.
Steps to reproduce

Find-PSResource -Repository 'PSGallery' -Name 'Az' -Version '(9,10)' returns nothing.

If using -Debug we can se that the API request looks like below, which to me looks fine.

  • https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/FindPackagesById()?id='Az'&$orderby=NormalizedVersion desc&$inlinecount=allpages&$skip=0&$filter=IsPrerelease eq false and Id eq 'Az' and NormalizedVersion gt '9.0.0' and NormalizedVersion lt '10.0.0'

I think this is a problem with the PowerShell Gallery API. It works with NuGet v3 API shim pwsh.gallery like so:

PS> Find-PSResource -Repository 'pwsh.gallery' -Name 'Az' -Version '(9,10)'

Name Version Prerelease Repository   Description
---- ------- ---------- ----------   -----------
Az   9.7.1              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.7.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.6.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.5.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.4.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.3.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.2.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.1.1              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.1.0              pwsh.gallery
Az   9.0.1              pwsh.gallery

Research direction

Reproduce the command with PSGallery and compare its -Debug API request with the working pwsh.gallery result. Start by tracing the Find-PSResource version-range handling and the FindPackagesById request; done means the PSGallery query returns the versions in the stated range without breaking other repository searches.
