False positive on 'PSUseApprovedVerbs' when scope is declared as a prefix to the Verb-Noun combination

[Meglomax]

Reference message: "The cmdlet 'Local:Test-Something' uses an unapproved verb."

Where Advanced Functions are declared with a scope prefix the rule generates a false positive.

For example:
Function Local:Test-Something {...}
Function Script:Test-SomethingElse {...}
etc.. same for Global and Private.

Not trying to justify the syntax or the appropriate use cases for it. The syntax is however supported by PowerShell, and when used to declare the function the rule clearly generates a false positive (noting that without the scope prefix these Verb-Noun combinations pass the rule).

Which Version of PSScriptAnalyzer are you using as this was assumed fixed in #424 as was raised in #415 and should be included in version 1.4.0

[Meglomax]

Downloaded PSScriptAnalyzer for the first time earlier this evening - ModuleVersion = '1.4.0'.

I see the issue here.

If you have local:Test-Something it wont fire the issue but Local:Test-Something does.

Will get this fixed with another PR shortly

[kilasuit]

This should be accepted and fixed via #474 but in the mean time if you use the lowercase version "local:Test-Something" this will work as expected

Understood and thanks!

Forgive the noobie question, should I close the issue now or will it be closed when the defect has been addressed in the source code?

You should leave the issue open. They'll close it when the defect has been fixed.

Thanks, Kirk. Got it ;)
