Descripción
Expected Behavior
Example from related tool
in chocolatey and I believe nuget as well you can install a package that isn't already installed or update one that is with choco update packagename or nuget update packagename this makes it so one command can be universal for installing or upgrading a package making dependency handling and general install/maintenance an easier one line task.
Application
If Update-Module would call install-module if it finds the module in a trusted repository when it isn't already installed, it could make for a much smoother experience.
Additional automation for reloading
Update-Module should also have the ability to 'reload' the module that was updated.
So as soon as the update or new install is done it removes the module from the session if it already exists and then imports the new version unless it was otherwise specified to not import
Current Behavior
Installations
If you try to run update-module on a module that isn't installed it just says that one isn't installed
Reloading
Currently to get the new version of a module in your powershell session properly you need to
- update the module
- remove the module
3 import the module
If you try to just import the module after updating, it will import both version side by side.
While I realize there are times when side by side module versions may be needed, other times this creates collisions and confusion as to which version of any given function will end up being used.
Possible Solution
For adding installing, I imagine a try/catch block for catching when modules aren't already installed and trying to install would do the trick for most cases.
perhaps reloading could be implemented via switch parameter to turn this off if it became default behavior or on to do this on demand
i.e there be a -Import or -reload or alternatively and preferably a -noreload or -noimport switch.
There could also just be a separate function for this functionality such as sync-module or some other verb that isn't there yet.
Context
It becomes a bit tedious to have to run 3 different commands to get an updated module into a session or script. As well keeping modules up to date and getting new ones installed gets difficult. With chocolatey packages I only ever use the cup command because it is so much simpler to install and update with one command.
