Update-AWSToolsModule does not make upgrade to the latest version

[PetrMa]

Describe the bug

Hello,
Currently I have installed AWSTools in version 4.1.515.0 and I would like to use command Update-AWSToolsModule -CleanUp to make an update to the latest version 4.1.516.0 which is currently available on https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AWSPowerShell/4.1.516

But if I run the command Update-AWSToolsModule -CleanUp
I´ve got the answer that update modul will make an update to version 4.1.433.0 instead of the latest available version
Performing the operation "Install-AWSToolsModule" on target "AWS Tools version 4.1.433.0".
and the CleanUp command wants to uninstall all newest versions.

So how Can I use this command to update AWSTools to 4.1.516.0 and removing all older versions please?

Expected Behavior

Make an upgrade of all modules to latest version available on https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/AWSPowerShell/

Current Behavior

The command make upgrade to old version of AWSTools

Reproduction Steps

Run a command Update-AWSToolsModule -CleanUp

Hello @bhoradc,

some news about this bug please?

@PetrMa Sorry for the delay. I am unable to reproduce the issue on my computer. I reached out to @bhoradc and we tried it together but this time he wasn't able to reproduce on his computer either. here's the result with exact same module names and versions as you.

Hello,
sorry for the late response. I had a vacation.

I´am still on the same issue as described in my 1st post.

The verbose command show this:

[ashishdhingra]

@PetrMa Good morning. Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the issue. Could you please check:

• If you have sub-directories for AWS .Tools.* module at %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules?
• If yes, what is the name for version sub-directories look like for an AWS.Tools.<<Service>> directory (e.g. sub-directory under AWS.Tools.S3 directory? Does it look like 4.1.XXX.0? in other words, does have trailing .0 at the end?
  This is a known issue with Windows PowerShell (not PowerShell Core) outside of AWS Tools for PowerShell control.

Thanks,
Ashish

Hi @ashishdhingra

no, there is no directory Modules in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\

All modules are installed in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
Modules are installed for all users, not for specific user.

@PetrMa I have determined that this issue is caused when trying to update deprecated modules for which we are no longer publishing new versions. We will start working on a fix.

Until then you can workaround this issue by uninstalling modules that are not being updated daily.

AWS.Tools.Mobile
AWS.Tools.BackupStorage
AWS.Tools.Honeycode
AWS.Tools.AlexaForBusiness
AWS.Tools.IoTRoboRunner
AWS.Tools.Macie
AWS.Tools.GameSparks
AWS.Tools.Installer

I obtained this list by invoking Find-Module AWS.Tools.* | Sort-Object 'Version' -Descending and identifying modules at the bottom of the list with a version less than the current latest version.

[PetrMa]

Hello @jnunn-aws ,

I could confirm that uninstalling of modules mentioned above (except AWS.Tools.Installer - this module doesn´t affect this issue) solve this issue. Please let me know when you fix this issue.

Thanks, regards,
Petr

Hello @jnunn-aws ,

today I tried to update AWS tools on my computer and again I had to manually delete some other deprecated cmdlets.
4.1.665 AWS.Tools.WorkLink
4.1.639 AWS.Tools.CodeStar

Is there any plan to fix this issue please? In this state it is unusable.

thanks, Petr

We are actively working on this. We are revising the design of the bug fix to minimize tradeoffs. Once there is an update, I will post here.
