Persistent PowerShell Issue with systeminformation Module

[narmatha291289]

Issue Description:

I'm encountering an issue while working with persistent PowerShell in the systeminformation module. When I call si.getStaticData() immediately after initializing the PowerShell, it works as expected. However, if I call it after some other si functions, it doesn't return the expected output. Execution halts thereafter.

Code Snippet:

javascript

const si = require("systeminformation");

async function fetchData() {

    try {
        await si.powerShellStart();

        const staticData = await si.getStaticData();
        console.log("Static Data:", JSON.stringify(staticData));

        const osInfo = await si.osInfo();
        console.log("OS Info:", JSON.stringify(osInfo));

        const systemInfo = await si.system();
        console.log("System Info:", JSON.stringify(systemInfo));

        const staticData_1 = await si.getStaticData();
        console.log("Static Data-1:", JSON.stringify(staticData_1));

        return { staticData, osInfo, systemInfo, staticData_1 };

    } catch (error) {

        console.error("Error fetching data:", error);
        return null;
    }
}

fetchData();

Issue Details:

After investigating, I found that si.getStaticData() behaves inconsistently. It returns the output correctly when called immediately after initializing the PowerShell, but not when called after other si functions.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Initialize the PowerShell with si.powerShellStart().
2. Call si.getStaticData() after some other si functions, such as si.osInfo() and si.system().
3. Note that si.getStaticData() does not return the expected output.

Expected Behavior:

I expect si.getStaticData() to return the correct output regardless of its position in the code and after other si function calls.

Additional Information:

Environment: Windows 10; Node - v18.20.2; PowerShell - v5.1.19041.4170 systeminformation version: 5.22.5
