PSResourceRepository: Integration test with -Default parameter fails

[nickgw]

Problem description

When the PSGallery is not present on the builders, adding it fails with the error "Value may not be null". This has been independently tested and the same configuration works, so it seems it is something isolated to the builders. When PowerShellGet 2.2.5 is loaded the error occurs. Removing PSGet 2.2.5 and importing 1.0.0.1 fixes the issue.

Example pipeline failure here:

This is obv low priority since the configuration does work, just not on the builders. It just means we're missing some integration test coverage.

Suggested solution

Check the build process for the builders themselves.
