Description

When defining a ncf technique for dsc with a parameter named "kb_path", it creates a parameter named "KbPath" in the dsc technique, but the call to generic methods using the parameter use "${kb_path} instead of "${KbPath}".

WORKAROUND: As for now, please don't use "_" in parameter names in windows techniques created with the editor.

1/ we need to find back what are the exact rules for authorized chars in what kind of names

=> either find original commit or relevant documentation/test
(MS: doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_variables?view=powershell-7)

2/ adapt the rules to keep working cases working, and handle the news ones.

Step 1: Felix, can you document what cases of "_" are foriden

The issue here is not powershell based. It comes from the policy generation process:

  • Given a "server_stuff" parameter, I end up with the following technique:
    function Badaboum {
      [CmdletBinding()]
      param (
          [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
          [string]$reportId,
          [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
          [string]$techniqueName,
          [parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
          [string]$ServerStuff,
          [Rudder.PolicyMode]$policyMode
      )
      BeginTechniqueCall -Name $techniqueName
      $reportIdBase = $reportId.Substring(0,$reportId.Length-1)
      $localContext = [Rudder.Context]::new($techniqueName)
      $localContext.Merge($system_classes)
      $resources_dir = $PSScriptRoot + "\resources" 
    
      $reportId=$reportIdBase+"58c380a3-3e54-4b39-bcf5-783340fa1793" 
      $componentKey = "Write-Host `"${server_stuff}`"" 
      $reportParams = @{
        ClassPrefix = ([Rudder.Condition]::canonify(("command_execution_" + $componentKey)))
        ComponentKey = $componentKey
        ComponentName = "Command execution" 
        PolicyMode = $policyMode
        ReportId = $reportId
        DisableReporting = $false
        TechniqueName = $techniqueName
      }
      $call = Command-Execution -Command "Write-Host `"${server_stuff}`"" -PolicyMode $policyMode
      $methodContext = Compute-Method-Call @reportParams -MethodCall $call
      $localContext.merge($methodContext)
      EndTechniqueCall -Name $techniqueName
    }
    

Which is false as the parameter of the technique is chnaged to "ServerStuff" instead of "server_stuff". It also needs to be changed in the directive.ps1 generated file.
