How to avoid installing required modules locally when publishing a module.

[Toé (denisky)]

I have a module B which requires a module A.
I'm trying to publish the module to a local repository using Publish-PSResource command.

This fails if the module is not installed locally:

PS C:\> Publish-PSResource -Path .\B\ -Repository PSLocalRepository   
Publish-PSResource : Module manifest file validation failed with error: The specified RequiredModules entry 'A' in the module manifest 
'C:\B\B.psd1' is invalid. Try again after updating this entry with valid values.. Run 'Test-ModuleManifest' to validate the 
module manifest.
At line:1 char:1
+ Publish-PSResource -Path .\B\ -Repository PSLoca ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Microsoft.Power...blishPSResource:PublishPSResource) [Publish-PSResource], PSInvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidModuleManifest,Microsoft.PowerShell.PowerShellGet.Cmdlets.PublishPSResource

I tried the option -SkipDependenciesCheck but I'm getting the same behavior.

Is it a supported use case?
