Summary of the new feature

as a user/developer I would like to have rules be defined as a part of a module.

As it stands now, the only possibility i can see right now to import "custom" rules is via CustomRulePath, however documentation and testing leads me to believe this only supports a known static or relative path.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

As a part of your documentation you talk about MEF, but this is possibly only for CustomRulePath? I can see as part of instance that you have ValidModPaths, but it seemes to only have data appended by methods in reference to GetValidCustomRulePaths()?

  • checking all commands in psmodulepath that outputs Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer.Generic.DiagnosticRecord?
    • Alternativly you could have the module require to have psdata.ExternalModuleDependencies defined to scriptanalyzer?
  • alternativly you can add usingModules to settings so you dont need to re-check all modules in current runspace, but just the ones defined by the user

I want Scriptanalyzer to also check available rules from modules.

What is the latest version of PSScriptAnalyzer at the point of writing
1.24.0
