PowerShell bootstrap script not working with PS 6
@kentcb commented on Tue Dec 06 2016
What You Are Seeing?
When running the bootstrap script on PowerShell 6 (.NET core):
Method invocation failed because [System.Reflection.Assembly] does not contain a method named 'LoadWithPartialName'.
At C:\XXX\build.ps1:58 char:1
+ [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Security") | Out-N ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound
$PSVersionTable.PSVersion gives me:
Major Minor Patch Label
----- ----- ----- -----
6 0 0 alpha
What is Expected?
Script should work with new versions of PS.
What version of Cake are you using?
Haven't gotten that far yet (bootstrapping).
Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?
64 bit.
What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?
Windows 10, but the same behavior should be present on other operating systems.
Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?
No
How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
- Grab the bootstrap script
- Attempt to execute it in a PS 6 session
Output Log
N/A
@devlead as the resident PowerShell guru, do you have any thoughts on this one?
Just comment out
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Security") | Out-Null
System.Security is already inside System.Core. I updated, to PowerShell 6 b3, and should be working now.
Made a quick patch for this for PS6, uses Get-FileHash in its place: https://github.com/cake-build/resources/compare/master...gjonespf:xplat-md5 Worth a PR?
Powershell Core 6.0 is out: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2018/01/10/powershell-core-6-0-generally-available-ga-and-supported/. Any plan to have first-class support for it?
Yes, just released 0.25.0 will give us the opportunity make bootstrappers cleaner, shouldn't be too hard to support it.
Hopefully the discussion and work going on in issue #53 will sort this too, that's the goal at least.
