Play exits with error: commands are already available on this system

[dry4ng]

As I'm trying to run this role against freshly provisioned Google cloud image of Windows Server 2019 Core, it exits with the following error:

TASK [jimbo8098.windows_docker_role : Ensure PowerShellGet is installed] *********************************************
fatal: [myhostname]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Problems adding a prerequisite module PowerShellGet The following commands are already available on this system:'Find-Package,Install-Package,Uninstall-Package'. This module 'PackageManagement' may override the existing commands. If you still want to install this module 'PackageManagement', use -AllowClobber parameter.", "nuget_changed": false, "output": "", "repository_changed": false}

There's a check in this task to make sure a minimum version of PowerShellGet is installed here:

windows-docker-role/tasks/main.yml

Lines 41 to 44 in 10770bb

	- name: Ensure PowerShellGet is installed
	win_psmodule:
	name: "PowerShellGet"
	minimum_version: "{{ powershellget.minimum_version }}"

I bet that one of these isn't the case:

• PowerShell modules needed - PowerShellGet >= 1.6.0 - PackageManagement >= 1.1.7
• PowerShell package provider needed - NuGet >= 2.8.5.201
• On PowerShell 5.x required modules and a package provider will be updated under the first run of the win_psmodule module.
• On PowerShell 3.x and 4.x you have to install them before using the win_psmodule.

These are requirements from https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/windows/win_psmodule_module.html

Can you check which of those requirements you meet/don't meet above? If I remember rightly, you can use Get-Module, Get-PackageProvider and Get-Host to get this information.

Let me know what you find and I'll try and help you from there.
