RequiredModulesDirectory Override Parameter in build.ps1 not working

[gaelcolas]

that parameter changes where it looks for them. The RequiredModules.psd1 defines where to save them.

Ok thanks...I guess I don't see the point of the -RequiredModulesDirectory parameter then.

I tried your suggestion and changed the path for the output in RequiredModules.psd1.

Everything seems to work until the build tries to compress the modules:

ERROR: Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Name'. The argument is null or empty. Provide an argument that is not null or empty, and then try the command 
again.
