Is the integrated environment missing a path? It usually just defaults to Universal.Server

Is the integrated environment missing a path? It usually just defaults to Universal.Server

looks like it:

New-PSUEnvironment -Name "Windows PowerShell 5.1" -Path "powershell.exe" -Variables @('*') -Description "Windows PowerShell 5.1" 
New-PSUEnvironment -Name "Integrated" -Version "7.4.2" -Variables @('*') -Description "An environment for running scripts directly in the PowerShell Universal server." 
New-PSUEnvironment -Name "Agent" -Version "7.4.2" -Path "E:\src\psu\Beta\Universal.Agent.exe" -Variables @('*') -Description "An environment for running scripts in an external PowerShell Universal agent process." 
New-PSUEnvironment -Name "PowerShell 7" -Path "pwsh" -Variables @('*') -Description "The current version of PowerShell 7." 
New-PSUEnvironment -Name "PowerShell 7.4.2" -Version "7.4.2" -Path "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" 
New-PSUEnvironment -Name "Windows PowerShell 5.1.17763.5820" -Version "5.1.17763.5820" -Path "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"

Do you know how you got in this state? You should be able to add the path back in the file editor.

it came that way when i installed it, i did edit anything from the admin site, it just showed up in my repo

[adamdriscoll]

Was this v5? Or was it v4.2.21?

[Omzig]

oops, sorry, beta6

[Omzig]

updated ver in original post

[Omzig]

build 9474514428

OK, i figured out how to trigger this:

• delete the environments.ps1
• restart app pool
• goto /admin/settings/environments
• click 'discover environments'
• it messes up the environments file

Thanks. Nice find. I also removed the mandatory on -Path since it really isn't. I've fixed the discovery.
