Azure Resource Manager powershell cmdlet is not recognized on azure portal test pane (Automation accounts)

Question

In the Windows Azure portal, from my automation accounts (Automation accounts > myAutomation > Runbooks > MyRunbook > Edit PowerShell workflow Runbook > Test), I'm trying to test a powershell script with the Azure Resource Manager library, for migrations purposes. I wrote a small piece of a powershell script and tested it in the test pane. I'm facing an error message:

The term 'New-AzureRmHDInsightHiveJobDefinition' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I want to test it directly from the Windows Azure Portal because I need to use some result of function like "Get-AutomationPSCredential".

PowerShell script sample

workflow Runbook_Test
{
    param(            
        [parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
        [string] $HDInsightAdminCredendialsName
    )

    $hdInsightCredentials = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name $HDInsightAdminCredendialsName
    InlineScript {
        $creds = $using:hdInsightCredentials
        $clusterName = 'clusterName'            

        $query = 'A QUERY INSIDE'

        $jobDef = New-AzureRmHDInsightHiveJobDefinition -Query $query;
        $hiveJob = Start-AzureRmHDInsightJob -JobDefinition $jobDef -ClusterName $clusterName -HttpCredential $creds 
        Wait-AzureRmHDInsightJob -JobId $hiveJob.JobId -ClusterName $clusterName -HttpCredential $creds 
    }    
}

I have the same issue with cmdlet "Start-AzureRmHDInsightJob" and "Wait-AzureRmHDInsightJob". It's like azure portal don't recognize the ARM library.

For sure I'm miss something, but what? :) Thanks for your help.

You need to import those modules into your Azure Automation Account. In this case you need AzureRM.HDInsight module. Consult this link on how to import modules: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-runbook-gallery#modules-in-powershell-gallery

The thing is, your account only gets some of the Azure Powershell modules by default, the rest you have to install manually.
