When using a Git repository, if target doesn't exist, the dependency is downloaded in the current directory and the error is silenced, affecting the path sctructure of your proyect. Unless you check the $Errors variable, you'll never now what is happening.
However, when using PowerShell Gallery, the bellow piece of code does the work in the Save-Module function:
When -Force is specified, Path will be created if not available
I propose then to implement the same behaviour in Git.ps1 script with the following lines:
else$PWD "$ ($Dependency.Target)"
{
if ($Force) {New-Item -ItemType Directory -Name $Dependency.Target -Force | Out-Null
Write-Debug "Target folder $($Dependency.Target) created as -Force switch was specified"
$Target = Join-Path
}
else {
$Target = $PWD.Path
Write-Debug "Target defaulted to current dir: $Target"
}
}
