Can't compile configuration with MOF-based resources when PSDSCv3 is also installed

[gaelcolas]

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

With ChocoInstalled.config.ps1 containing this:

Configuration ChocoInstalled {
    Import-DscResource -ModuleName Chocolatey

    node ChocoInstalled {
        ChocolateySoftware chocoSoftwareInstalled {
            Ensure = 'Present'
        }
    }
}

Here's what I tried:

PS C:\src\Chocolatey> get-module PSDesiredStateConfiguration
PS C:\src\Chocolatey> ipmo PSDesiredStateConfiguration -RequiredVersion 2.0.6
PS C:\src\Chocolatey> get-module PSDesiredStateConfiguration

Script     2.0.6                 PSDesiredStateConfiguration         {Configuration, Get-DscResource, Invoke-DscResource, New-Ds…

As you can see, the 3.0.0-beta1 version is automatically imported, and I suspect that's why compiling the configuration with a MOF-based resource doesn't work.

Compiling a Class based resource does work though.

Expected behavior

PS C:\src\Chocolatey> . .\source\GCPackages\ChocoInstalled\ChocoInstalled.config.ps1
PS C:\src\Chocolatey> ChocoInstalled -OutputPath .\output\MOFs\

    Directory: C:\src\Chocolatey\output\MOFs
