PowerShell Script in PostBuild

问题:

Continuous Integration

I have been working on a PowerShell script to keep our development process streamlined. I was planning on running it as a post-build event, but I'm having some trouble.

From the PowerShell prompt, the following works wonderfully:

PS C:\> ./example.ps1

However, when attempting to run this from cmd.exe as follows:

C:\> powershell -command "&\"C:\path to script\example.ps1\""

The script executes but I get a round of errors back from PowerShell, consisting mostly of path resolution errors from the resolve-path function:

Resolve-Path : Cannot find path 'C:\Documents and Settings\bdunbar\My Documents \Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CgmFamilyComm\FamilyComm\iirf\cms\isapirewrite4.dl l' because it does not exist. At C:\Documents and Settings\bdunbar\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\C gmFamilyComm\scripts\cms.ps1:4 char:27 + $iirfpath = (resolve-path <<<< ../iirf/cms/isapirewrite4.dll).path,

Resolve-Path : Cannot find path 'C:\Documents and Settings\bdunbar\My Documents \Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CgmFamilyComm\FamilyComm\familycomm' because it do es not exist. At C:\Documents and Settings\bdunbar\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\C gmFamilyComm\scripts\cms.ps1:5 char:27 + $vdirpath = (resolve-path <<<< ../familycomm).path

Is there a way to work around this? Could it be an issue with running resolve-path under cmd.exe?

[Update]

I've been able to change things to get around the errors that are occurring, but I still receive errors that work perfectly fine from the powershell command prompt. I can't figure out what the difference is.

I've made this work in the past (see http://sharepointpdficon.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/13092#300544 if interested):

C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoLogo -NonInteractive -Command .'$(ProjectDir)Deployment\PostBuildScript.ps1' -ProjectDir:'$(ProjectDir)' -ConfigurationName:'$(ConfigurationName)' -TargetDir:'$(TargetDir)' -TargetFileName:'$(TargetFileName)' -TargetName:'$(TargetName)

Then throw these parameters in the first line of your post-build script (if you think you may be able to use them):

param($ProjectDir, $ConfigurationName, $TargetDir, $TargetFileName)

Also I should point out, I am not using this presently. I did like using it as a quick scratchpad to reload test data for running integration tests.

Looks like your problem is how relative paths are resolved. Relative paths are resolved based on the current location (stored in $pwd) and not based on the location of the script. So if you launched the script from C:\, it definitely would not work.

I would suggest you calculate the paths based on an argument (like Peter Seale shows), or grab the actual location of the script from:

$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
