$moduleName = "testmodule";
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path "$modulesPath/$moduleName" -Force > $null
New-ModuleManifest -Path "$modulesPath/$moduleName/$($moduleName.ToUpper()).psd1" -RootModule "TestModule.psm1" -ModuleVersion 1.1
Set-Content -Path "$modulesPath/$moduleName/TestModule.psm1" -Value "function mytest { 'hello' }"
