Finally found it in the changes. https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/NEWS.html I will test using the tcl "source" command, instead of "module source" However, I suspect there are subtle differences between the two in certain module modes. You should update the module man page to clarify that you should use simply "source" in module files. Perhaps you should update the error message when you use module source in a module file.
