MSG:
Cannot validate argument on parameter 'ModuleName'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command again.
The problem seems to be that Get-Resource can return an empty module (for example for File resource).
Additionally if multiple modules are found there is no way to override or select the proper module to be used.
