It fails with the error below.

I removed the last line in the report:
Configuration -ConfigurationData .\ConfigurationData.psd1
And now I am getting another error:
Error parsing configuration: At line:12724 char:21

Yes, I do have the latest version of the DSCParser and only 1 version is installed.

@andreiv3103 Thanks for the issue. Can you maybe share a little bit of your configuration where the issue with the assignmentSettings appears? Maybe extract that specific resource where the error appears (or rather the System.Collections.Hashtable thing)? That would help us in troubleshoot the issue further and make it reproducible for us. Thanks.

The first issue is that the report export gets stuck on the last line of the export:

Report generation failed: Error parsing configuration: At line:44531 char:15

• Configuration -ConfigurationData .\ConfigurationData.psd1

•           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  

The configuration name '-ConfigurationData' is not valid. Standard names may only contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), period (.), hyphen (-) and underscore (_). The name may not be null or empty, and should start with a letter.

If I manually remove the last line in the configuration export and try to create the report again, I get to the error with the assignmentSettings. This is the code around it:

        # For information on how to use this resource, please refer to:
        # https://github.com/microsoft/Microsoft365DSC/wiki/IntuneMobileAppsManagedGooglePlayApp
        IntuneMobileAppsManagedGooglePlayApp "IntuneMobileAppsManagedGooglePlayApp-Gmail"
        {
            ApplicationId         = $ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.ApplicationId;
            Assignments           = @(
                MSFT_DeviceManagementMobileAppAssignment{
                    assignmentSettings = System.Collections.Hashtable
                    deviceAndAppManagementAssignmentFilterType = "none"
                    groupDisplayName = "All users"
                    dataType = "#microsoft.graph.allLicensedUsersAssignmentTarget"
                    intent = "available"
                }
            );
            CertificateThumbprint = $ConfigurationData.NonNodeData.CertificateThumbprint;
            DisplayName           = "Gmail";
            Ensure                = "Present";
            Id                    = "d5d46faf-d9cb-4874-8c73-ec4a26697bc7";
            PackageId             = "com.google.android.gm";
            RoleScopeTagIds       = @("0");
            TenantId              = $OrganizationName;
        }

The "assignmentSettings" value is not expanded correctly. There a 6 occurrences of this "assignmentSettings = System.Collections.Hashtable".

correct!

Thank you, will take a look at it. A fix will most likely be available with the next release in January.
