Expected behavior

Modules should work side by side.

Actual behavior

Error message

Import-Module: Assembly with same name is already loaded

Environment

Tested on: Ubuntu18 CentOS7 WinServerCore2019

PS7.0.x PS7.1.x (beta) PowerShellGet 2.x.x PowerShellGet 3.0 (beta)

This basically defeats the purpose of Az modules because you cannot use them in PS Core.

Note: It all works fine in PS5.1

See https://github.com/microsoft/Partner-Center-PowerShell/issues/261 for additional info.

@isaiahwilliams Can we please look into this? I need this to work so I can switch to Linux containers. Please help!

Bonus: Ignore the fact that AzureStack module does not load properly in Linux - it loads fine on Windows… and you can see a workaround for Linux above anyway.

To reiterate as you can see below - loading AzureStack and PartnerCenter does not work whichever way you try. You can try AzureStack then PartnerCenter or vice versa and it is still broken.

Yeah these will work:

Script     2.1.0                 az.resources         

Problem is with the ones that AzureStack is using… Thanks though 😃 @slavizh

I am able to import them but I use only the Az modules and the Partner Center module. I am also using the GA version rather the previews. Here is my information if it helps for this case in some way.
