Azure: PowerShell module properly pushed to artifacts feed repository cannot be installed

My purpose is to configure a private feed for being able to use my PowerShell modules inside Azure Pipelines.

I've followed step by step this Microsoft guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/artifacts/tutorials/private-powershell-library?view=azure-devops.

I know the package was properly pushed from DevOps UI: enter image description here

Following code (executed from my development machine) proofs that both feed and package are in valid state:

$patToken = "**************************************" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force
$credsAzureDevopsServices = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("[email protected]", $patToken)
Get-PSRepository
Find-Module -Repository PowershellAzureDevopsServices -Credential $credsAzureDevopsServices
Install-Module -Name Get-Hello -Repository PowershellAzureDevopsServices -Credential $credsAzureDevopsServices

This is the output:

But if I try to install the module (using Administrator account) with:

Install-Module -Name Get-Hello -Repository PowershellAzureDevopsServices -Credential $credsAzureDevopsServices

I get:

In this gist there's the list of my installed modules.

I want to add that:

nuget install Get-Hello

perfectly works:

There is a bug in some of the PackageManagement or PowerShellGet component for years, that exactly cause this issue. I had the same issue and can verify that its correctly working if you register the repository as PowerShell repository and as a package source. The error message I got using the latest PackageManager 2.2.4.1 is nearly identical, I just adding it here to help other people find this exact message:

C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\2.2.4.1\PSModule.psm1:9709 Zeichen:34

So: 

Register-PSRepository -Name DevOpsFeedPsRepo [...] -SourceLocation $artifactFeed
Register-PackageSource -Name DevOpsFeedPackageSource -Location "$artifactFeed" -ProviderName NuGet -SkipValidate

I can also confirm that using the Azure Artifacts Credential Provider there is no need to give the credentials all the time after first registration.

I was having the same problem, but I found a blog post which went through the same troubleshooting process and came to the conclusion that without providing the PAT code during the Install-Module it won't be able to authenticate to the feed and download the package.

I did this in my tests and it worked:

Install-Module -Repository PSModules -Name Get-Hello -Credentials $PSCredwithPAT

It would be great if this worked with the embedded credentials on the PowerShell Repository we registered. But without that, this appears to be the best solution.
