c# - How to get the PowerShell module version from inside the module code at runtime

Question

I have a C# PSCmdlet class for implementing a PowerShell command and I want to get my module version while running the command.

I don't want to get the version from the assembly location because I need the actual version loaded (it can be different, for example, if I keep PowerShell open while upgrading my module, the assembly will point to the upgraded version and I won't get the one that already loaded).

I need something like Get-Module for the current session but from my C# command code.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

As I've been on the same crusade almost one year later, there's what I came up with:

$version = Split-Path -Leaf $MyInvocation.MyCommand.ScriptBlock.Module.ModuleBase

Answer 2

This worked for me:

$MyInvocation.MyCommand.ScriptBlock.Module.Version

It is based on the answer with ModuleBase, but that works only if the version number is the last part of the path, which is not always guaranteed.
