How to get PS7 Form executable path/name?

[ALIENQuake]

Hi,


How to get PS7 Form executable path/name?

Things which I try and receive 'SAPIEN.PoshCoreHostWin':

Code: Select all

System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName
System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName
Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()[0]

I want MyApp.exe or full path.

Product, version and build:
Product: PowerShell Studio 2020 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.7.182
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.19042.0
PowerShell version(s): 7.0.3

I'm not sure what you have tried, but please try the following function to get the path to your executable:

Code: Select all

function get-scriptdirectory{
  if($hostinvocation -ne $null) {
    Split-Path $hostinvocation.MyCommand.path
  }
  else {
    $invocation=(get-variable MyInvocation -Scope 1).Value
    Split-Path $invocation.myinvocation.path
  }
}

Hi, thanks for reply, I'm aware about this function but I don't want an executable directory, I want an executable fullpath or name.

Ah, I see the issue. There is no way to accomplish this at the moment, my apologies for the misunderstanding on my part.
The issue is a result of how executables are made in .Net Core. In .Net Core, executable only functions as launcher for the actual application, in this case SAPIEN.CoreWinAppHost.dll.

There is an issue that was made relatively recently on GitHub regarding the issue:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/40862

As for when the resolution is released for us to then add to our products, there is no timeline at this time.

I suspected that it might be NET-related.

May I ask for a workaround?
Instead of using SAPIEN.CoreWinAppHost as the basename for .dll, can you use 'project name' instead? So we can later use MyApp.dll as a reference?

We are paying attention to the issue on GitHub. If Microsoft does not add it in a reasonable amount of time, we will then consider other options, but at this time, we have no plans for a workaround.
