TFS vNext Powershell build step is using older version of Powershell module #41

Closed kfrajtak closed 8 years ago

Hi,

a build with Powershell++ step keeps failing when I try to run task containing following code Copy-Item -FromSession $cs (the command is not complete, important is the usage of FromSession) to copy items from a different machine. The error message is

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'FromSession'.

However, the code does not fail when run from PS console when I'm logged to that machine.

Then I included 

(get-command copy-item).Version.ToString()
(get-command copy-item).ModuleName.ToString()

And got version 3.1.0.0 and module Microsoft.PowerShell.Management in PS console and 3.0.0.0 in TFS build step output (module is the same). The version of Powershell is identical in both - 5.0.10586.117.

Looks like the Powershell that is running inside TFS is using different modules.

Is there a task requierement to use specific version of Powershell modules? Or is TFS using Powershell with different set of modules?

Thanks for help, Karel

Sorry, this is neither related to utilities pack nor to Microsoft.PowerShell.Management version. The issue here is the source path and the provider - when wildcard character is used, I get this error. It works fine without wildcards.
