Binary Powershell Cmdlet not exported from module

Question

I created a Powershell module containing one Cmdlet implemented by C# and some advanced functions provided by a psm1 file. When loading the module, only the functions implemented in advanced functions are exported.

I registered the assembly to load as part of my module and exported the functions:

RequiredAssemblies = @("lib\provider.dll","lib\myCmdlet.dll")
FunctionsToExport = @('New-assemblyFunction','New-advancedFunction')

Also I tried to mix the above functionstoexport with the cmdlettoexport for the assembly provided Cmdlet. All kind of combinations did not show any success:

CmdletsToExport = @('New-assemblyFunction')

If I start the import-module in verbose mode, I can see that the assemblies are being loaded but only functions implemented in advanced functions are being exported. The New-assemblyFunction does not appear anywhere in the verbose report.

I can load the DLL manually (import-module) and the cmdlet is available. Any clue what's wrong here or how to further analyse? I deblock-file'd all of them.

Value of RequiredAssemblies key not considered as PowerShell modules. You need to use RootModule (ModuleToProcess) or NestedModules key. — user4003407

That's it! Thank you! I added it as NestedModules and now the function has been exported. — Joel
