PowerShell 7.3 - Trouble with Parallel Processing Using `ForEach-Object -Parallel` and Local Variables
I'm having trouble with I'm following best practices but I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I tried several approaches but none seem to work. I'm trying to use the `ForEach-Object -Parallel` command in PowerShell 7.3 to process a large number of files in parallel, but I'm running into issues with accessing local variables within the script block. I have the following snippet: ```powershell $path = 'C:\Logs\*.log' $logFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $path $executionResults = $logFiles | ForEach-Object -Parallel { param($file) # Simulate processing Start-Sleep -Seconds 1 Write-Output "Processing file: $file" } -ArgumentList $_ ``` When I run this, I get the behavior message: ``` You want to use a local variable as an argument to a parameter that has been declared with the `-ArgumentList` parameter. ``` I tried to pass variables into the parallel script block using the `-ArgumentList` parameter, but it seems I'm missing something. I also attempted to define variables within the script block itself, but that resulted in incorrect outputs since I need to use values from the main scope for processing. I’ve read that using the `-ArgumentList` parameter should work, but I need to seem to get the syntax right. How can I correctly pass local variables to the `ForEach-Object -Parallel` block for processing? Any guidance or examples would be appreciated! Has anyone else encountered this? I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Powershell 3.10 in this project. I'd be grateful for any help. I appreciate any insights!
