Get-DscResource does not return resources in NestedModules #102

Description

Prerequisites

  • Write a descriptive title.
  • Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
  • Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

I am using the NewFile example in the docs. If the module containing the DSC resources is changed from RootModule to NestedModules then Get-DscResource will not return the module's resources.

The docs mention that this is a valid configuration: Class-based resources

A class-based DSC Resource is defined as a PowerShell class in a module file (.psm1). The class-based DSC Resource doesn't have special requirements for where it's defined. You can define it:

In the root module, like MyModule.psm1
In a nested module, like MyDscResource.psm1

Expected behavior

# resources are returned

Actual behavior

# resources are not returned
