Cannot bind parameter 'NewerThan'
I watched your video and I never knew what I was missing, really cool.
I tried to install it on PS 5.1 and I am getting the below error:
Cannot bind parameter 'NewerThan'. Cannot convert value "True" to type "System.DateTime". Error: "The string was not recognized as a valid DateTime. There is an unknown word starting at index 0."
Not sure if anyone else is getting this.
Ok, I am already doing some digging, a few things I am noticing.
- I have OneDrive mapped to my profile path $PROFILE E:\OD\OneDrive - [company]\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
In the code you are querying a different path: $env:userprofile + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell" Which returns "C:\Users[user]\Documents\WindowsPowerShell"
- Note sure whey you are using: If ((Test-Path -Path ($env:userprofile + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell") -ne "True")) {
Wouldn't: If (-not (Test-Path -Path ($env:userprofile + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell"))) { work the same? I know it does not throw the error above
Here is how I addressed the issue
#If the file does not exist, create it.
if (-not(Test-Path -Path $PROFILE -PathType Leaf)) {
#check to see if OneDrive Profile is registered
if ($PROFILE.StartsWith($ENV:OneDrive + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell")) {
$varProfilePath = $ENV:OneDrive
}
elseif($PROFILE.StartsWith($ENV:OneDriveConsumer + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell")){
$varProfilePath = $ENV:OneDriveConsumer
}else{
$varProfilePath = $env:userprofile
}
try {
# Detect Version of Powershell & Create Profile directories if they do not exist.
if ($PSVersionTable.PSEdition -eq "Core" ) {
If (-not (Test-Path -Path ($varProfilePath + "\Documents\Powershell"))) {
New-Item -Path ($varProfilePath + "\Documents\Powershell") -ItemType "directory"
}
} elseif ($PSVersionTable.PSEdition -eq "Desktop") {
If (-not (Test-Path -Path ($varProfilePath + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell"))) {
New-Item -Path ($varProfilePath + "\Documents\WindowsPowerShell") -ItemType "directory"
}
}
