PowerShell class methods cannot invoke non-exported functions. #4713
Description
Steps to reproduce
New-Module m {
class c {
[object] Invoke () { return Invoke-Something }
}
function Invoke-Something { 'Invoke-Something' }
function New-InstanceOfC { [c]::new() }
function Invoke-MethodOfC { (New-InstanceOfC).Invoke() }
Export-ModuleMember *OfC
} | Out-Null
(New-InstanceOfC).Invoke()
Invoke-MethodOfCExpected behavior
I expected both calls to Invoke-Something to succeed and output
Invoke-Something
Invoke-Something
Actual behavior
Neither call to Invoke-Something succeeds.
