Write-EVBEvent: Cannot find type [PutEventsRequestEntry]

Describe the bug

Full error:

New-Object : Cannot find type [PutEventsRequestEntry]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded

PowerShell version: 5.1.19041.1682

Expected Behavior

Attempt to send the $entry in $events.

Current Behavior

Fails to send, citing the Type for $entry does not exist on the system.

Reproduction Steps

Sometimes the code works, sometimes it doesn’t. I haven’t been able to isolate what the root cause is though. Assuming it is something to do with the installation and underlying system changes.

Installation steps:

Install-Module -Name AWS.Tools.EventBridge

OR

Install-Module -Name AWS.Tools.Installer
Install-AWSToolsModule -Name EventBridge -CleanUp

Code:

$entry = New-Object -Type Amazon.EventBridge.Model.PutEventsRequestEntry

$entry.Detail = $detailObject
$entry.Source = "inbound"
$entry.DetailType = "record sent"
$entry.Time = Get-Date -Format "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ"

Write-EVBEvent -ProfileName $awsProfile -Region $region -Entry $events -Select "*" 

Possible Solution

@ashishdhingra I switched over to PS 7, and the same problem persists.

Uninstalled all traces of AWS.Tools modules, reinstalled using both options. No change.

Cannot find type [PutEventsRequestEntry]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

@comfytoday Looks like module is not auto-loaded by the PowerShell session. Please execute Import-Module AWS.Tools.EventBridge prior to executing above script and it works.

Thanks, Ashish
