Discover extension for PSModulePath #913
Description
Activity
To be clear, the idea here that I could implement a DSC extension in PowerShell that this discovery extension would find?
Yes, resources are already discovered via the adapter, so this is for extensions that ship with PSModules.
Reacted by Mikey Lombardi (He/Him)Would it make sense to check the existing caching available already e.g.
PSAdapterCache.jsonandWindowsPSAdapterCache.jsonto see if they're available?- moved this from In Progress to Reviewed in DSC Working Group

Summary of the new feature / enhancement
It would make sense for some PS Modules to include extensions or even resources.
SecretManagementmakes sense to have a secret extension andAzPSalso (for AzKeyVault).Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
Add a new discover extension that searches PSModulePath for resources and extensions. Need to have some caching so that it doesn't crawl all the paths each time. It may be more efficient to also require the module manifest to declare it.
