Split ModuleVersion

Split-ModuleVersion

SYNOPSIS

Parse a SemVer2 Version string.

SYNTAX

Split-ModuleVersion [[-ModuleVersion] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This function parses a SemVer (semver.org) version string into an object with the following properties:

• Version: The version without tag or metadata, as used by folder versioning in PowerShell modules.
• PreReleaseString: A Publish-Module compliant prerelease tag (see below).
• ModuleVersion: The Version and Prerelease tag compliant with Publish-Module.

For instance, this is a valid SemVer: 1.15.0-pr0224-0022+Sha.47ae45eb2cfed02b249f239a7c55e5c71b26ab76.Date.2020-01-07 The Metadata is stripped: 1.15.0-pr0224-0022 The Version is 1.15.0. The prerelease tag is -pr0224-0022 However, Publish-Module (or NuGet/PSGallery) does not support such pre-release, so this function only keep the first part -pr0224
