Question:
I’m trying to run a PowerShell script from my C# application. I know how to do so with an absolute path:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
using (PowerShell pshell = PowerShell.Create()) { pshell.AddScript( @"C:\Path\To\Webapp\psScript.ps1" ); pshell.Invoke(); } |
What I don’t know how to do is use a relative path. My psScript.ps1 is located in the same directory as my Visual Studio project, and I’d like to use a relative path (such as ./psScript.ps1), so that when I publish/export my project to different computers, the path to the script doesn’t become invalidated
Sooo, how do I use a relative path in the PowerShell.AddScript() method? Any help would be appreciated!
I looked here but this doesn’t answer my question:
PowerShell: Run command from script’s directory
Answer:
Use this:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
using (PowerShell pshell = PowerShell.Create()) { string path=System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location); pshell.AddScript( path+"\\psScript.ps1" ); pshell.Invoke(); } |
This path is always relative to the root folder of your project.
