Description
If my current module manifest includes a ScriptsToProcess property with invalid values (i.e. files that do not exist), I cannot update it using Update-ModuleManifest. An exception is thrown.
For example, the below may be the current value for ScriptsToProcess in my module manifest, and the referenced files do not exist.
...
ScriptsToProcess = '.\ScriptsToProcess\I-DoNotExist.ps1', 'ScriptsToProcess\I-AlsoDoNotExist.ps1'
...
I think it would be ideal to allow the user to replace the existing values, even if they're not valid.
PS C:\> Update-ModuleManifest -Path .\mymodulemanifest.psd1 -ScriptsToProcess '.\SomeScript.ps1'
Update-ModuleManifest: Cannot update the manifest properly. 'The member 'ScriptsToProcess' in the module manifest is not valid: Cannot find path 'C:\git\PSCMContentMgmt\build\PSCMContentMgmt\.\ScriptsToProcess\Import-CMModule.ps1' because it does not exist.. Verify that a valid value is specified for this field in the 'C:\git\PSCMContentMgmt\build\PSCMContentMgmt\PSCMContentMgmt.psd1' file.'
