[BUG] Get-PnpFile : The -AsMemoryStream parameter has been revoked from m365PnP/Powershell docker container ?

[brotherSand]

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

I had a process I have been running for the last month where I pull files from SharePoint and load them to S3 using the m365pnp/powershell docker container. The plan is to have this process run as a lambda. So far it has been working with this being the method I was using to get the document contents:

$streamData = (Get-PnPFile -Url $doc.ServerRelativeUrl -AsMemoryStream)

Yesterday I updated the docker container. Now my process fails with this error:

"Get-PnPFile: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'AsMemoryStream'."

The parameter is described very clearly here:
https://pnp.github.io/powershell/cmdlets/Get-PnPFile.html

... and it was working. What happened? How did a useful method get subtracted?

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

ModuleType Version PreRelease Name PSEdition ExportedCommands

---

Manifest 1.2.0 PnP.PowerShell Core,Desk {Add-PnPClientSidePage, Add-PnPClientSidePageSection, Add-PnPClientSideText, Add-PnPClientSideWebPart…}

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

• Docker container on Linux and AWS Lambda

hi @brotherSand , this parameter has not been removed.
It is still there, you can check the source code here, must be something else that could have changed in your env :

I rolled back to this version of the docker image and the code works again:
m365pnp/powershell:2.4.16-nightly-alpine-3.14

But m365pnp/powershell:latest - This error occurs:
"Get-PnPFile: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'AsMemoryStream'."

Same code, just different docker image.

Simple to replicate:

========================================

AsMemoryStream is not in tab-completion either.

Alternatively, with the older version ...

========================================

It just appears to go away in the new version.
