DSC modules - Dependency not working

[webalexeu]

Describe the Bug

Hello,

We are facing an issue with the DSC modules (Using computermanagementdsc 9.2.0-0-0 as reference but same with all modules)

Failed to apply catalog: Could not find dependency Windows_firewall_rule[contoso.com outbound rule] for Dsc_computer[consto.com]

Expected Behavior

Applying configuration using standard puppet relationships

Steps to Reproduce

Not sure it is easily reproducable
When apply locally on one node manually is not causing any issue
That is the code we are using

dsc_computer { 'contoso.com':
  dsc_name       => $facts['networking']['hostname'],
  dsc_domainname => 'contoso.com',
  dsc_joinou     => 'OU=Servers,DC=contoso,DC=com',
  dsc_credential => {
    'user'     => 'username',
    'password' => Sensitive('password'),
  },
  require        => Windows_firewall_rule['contoso.com outbound rule'];
}

Environment

• Puppet agent 8.6.0
• Windows server 2022

Additional Context

We have open this ticket because it's maybe linked
https://github.com/puppetlabs/ruby-pwsh/issues/349

Thank you for your support

I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be an issue with case sensitivity and the title. Once we updated pwshlib to version 0.1.3 the problem was introduced. To work around it, we make sure all declared dsc resource titles are lower cased.
This is because internally it will convert it to lowercase, so if you use camel case, it would not match.
