getting all lists within a subweb

[Nigel Price]

Hi

I am trying to get all of the lists within a subweb :-

Get-PnPLists -Web Https://sometenant.sharepoint.com/sites/this-site

This keeps returning a FileNotFound error message.

I have tried

$subwebs= Get-PnPSubWebs

foreach ($subweb in $subwebs)

{

    Get-PnPLists -Web $subweb.Url

}

This still returns a FileNotFound error.

What am I doing wrong ?

Regards

Is Https://sometenant.sharepoint.com/sites/this-site a new site collection or a subsite of Https://sometenant.sharepoint.com/ ?

Try the below. Currently it seems -web is not working, alternatively you can connect to each subsite and then get the lists in those subsite.

$cred= Get-Credential
connect-pnponline -Url https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/sites/contosobeta -Credentials $cred
$subwebs=Get-PNPSubWebs -Recurse   
foreach($subweb in $subwebs) 
{ 
Connect-PNPonline -Url $subweb.Url -Credentials $cred
Get-PnPList 
}

Hi @NarasimaPerumal Chandramohan

I have $lists = Get-PnPList

I tried that and when I went to access the $lists I got this ->

format-default : The collection has not been initialized. It has not been requested or the request has not been
executed. It may need to be explicitly requested.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [format-default], CollectionNotInitializedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.CollectionNotInitializedException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Comma
   nds.FormatDefaultCommand

Hi @NarasimaPerumal Chandramohan

it looks as if this might be a timing problem.  If I run the two commands (Connect-PnPOnline and Get-PnPList) in a PowerShell (.ps1) file I get the error.  If I run the two commands using the PowerShell Gui and typing them in then all works well.

Is there anyway I can get the second command wait until the first command finishes (or even run on a single thread.) ?  If this was JavaScript ot TypeScript, then I could use promises.  But in PowerShell ?

Hi @Peter McDonald

It is a subsite.

Hi @Nigel Price

this works when https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename is a site collection:

Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename
$webs= Get-PnPSubWeb
$web = $web[1]      #  (to select the first one)
Get-PnPList

If you then want to go to a subweb you will need to use something like this:

Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename
$webs= Get-PnPSubWeb
$web = $web[1]      #  (to select the first one)
Get-PnPList

Or of course:

Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename
$web = Get-PnPSubWeb | where {$_.Title -eq "My Title"}
Get-PnPList

If you need a subsubweb then you could do this:

Connect-PnPOnline https://mytenant.sharepoint.com/sites/sitename
$web = Get-PnPSubWeb | where {$_.Title -eq "My Title"}
$subweb = Get-PnPSubWeb  -Web $web | where {$_.Title -eq "My Sub Title"}
Get-PnPList
