Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

I'm trying to call the cmdlet 'Get-PnPFolderInFolder', but 'I'm getting a error saying that the cmdlet does not exist.

Steps to reproduce behavior

Connect to a web site using Connect-PnPOnline -Url 'https://{domain}.sharepoint.com/sites/{sitename}'. And then calling Get-PnPFolderInFolder in the root.

What is the version of the Cmdlet module you are running?

I was using the 2.4.0 and return to the 2.2.0 and still get the same error. And repeat the test with 2.3, same result.
Code used to go back a version:

Uninstall-Module -Name "PnP.PowerShell"
Install-Module -Name "PnP.PowerShell" -MinimumVersion  '2.0.0.0' -MaximumVersion '2.2'

And:

Uninstall-Module -Name "PnP.PowerShell"
Install-Module -Name "PnP.PowerShell" -MinimumVersion  '2.0.0.0' -MaximumVersion '2.3.0.0'

Which operating system/environment are you running PnP PowerShell on?

• Windows
• Linux
• MacOS
• Azure Cloud Shell
• Azure Functions
• Other : please specify

Is anybody else getting the same error?

EDIT1: Others cmdlet ar working fine. But I can't use Get-PnPFolderItem since I have folders with more than 200.000 files and I run out of memory.

I can run that cmdlet in v2.4 no problem

@veronicageek, any ideas why I can't call the cmdlet?

[danielpcamara]

I made another test and now I'm more confused. I download the repo to test and to my surprise using VSCode Terminal pwsh the function is working. I even double check to se if by using Win+R powershell and the error is still happening.

[danielpcamara]

After reviewing the documentation. I came to the conclusion that my error is due to the fact that I was running the code in powershell or powershell_ise.
Just use pwsh (download here), this works.

@danielpcamara - We do not support PS 5.1 since version 2.x (which needs PS 7.2 and above) for a while. If you still need to use PS5 or the ISE, then the latest version was 1.12.
