Research direction

Start with the PSDSCStandardDSCFunctionsInResource rule and reproduce the report using the VE_XD7WaitForSite resource linked in the issue. Determine whether functions imported from the .psm1 file's .ps1 file should satisfy the rule; done means the valid resource is no longer flagged while resources genuinely missing Get-, Set-, or Test-TargetResource remain errors.

Description

Issue - Discussion

I have recently publish a couple of DSC Resource based modules to the gallery and they're being flagged by the following rule/error:

PSDSCStandardDSCFunctionsInResource Error   VE_XD7WaitForSite.psm1  1   Missing 'Set-TargetResource' function. DSC Resource must implement Get, Set and Test-TargetResource functions.

The source for this particular module/error can be found here: https://github.com/VirtualEngine/XenDesktop7/tree/master/DSCResources/VE_XD7WaitForSite.

I assume it is because the .psm1 file doesn't contain the Get-, Test- and Set-TargetResource methods. In my instance, they're imported from a .ps1 file by the .psm1 file! Surely, this cannot be a hard-and-fast requirement?
