Prerequisites
Steps to reproduce
I've written an extension for PowerShell/SecretManagement that allows users to set an optional VaultParameter during registration called ResyncCacheIfOlderThan. This value is of data type TimeSpan. Recently it has come to my attention that when users supply a VaultParameters hashtable containing this property during vault registration, the TimeSpan is converted to a HashTable. Sadly said Hashtable has no implicit conversion back to TimeSpan, so any functions expecting the latter will fail.
Expected behavior
PS> $VaultParameters = @{
ResyncCacheIfOlderThan = New-TimeSpan -Hours 2
}
PS> Register-SecretVault -Name "warden2" -ModuleName SecretManagement.Warden -VaultParameters $VaultParameters
PS> (Get-SecretVault -Name warden2).VaultParameters.ResyncCacheIfOlderThan | gm
TypeName: System.TimeSpan
Actual behavior
PS> $VaultParameters = @{
ResyncCacheIfOlderThan = New-TimeSpan -Hours 2
}
PS> Register-SecretVault -Name "warden2" -ModuleName SecretManagement.Warden -VaultParameters $VaultParameters
PS> (Get-SecretVault -Name warden2).VaultParameters.ResyncCacheIfOlderThan | gm
TypeName: System.Collections.Hashtable
