PowerShell 7.3 - Using Start-Process with a Custom Working Directory Causes Path Issues
I've encountered a strange issue with I need some guidance on I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm running into an scenario where using `Start-Process` with a custom working directory doesn't seem to set the context correctly for the command being executed. Specifically, I am attempting to run a Python script located in a different directory while specifying that directory as the working directory. The command looks like this: ```powershell $pythonScriptPath = 'C:\Scripts\MyScript.py' $workingDirectory = 'C:\Scripts' Start-Process -FilePath 'python.exe' -ArgumentList $pythonScriptPath -WorkingDirectory $workingDirectory ``` However, when I run this, I get an behavior indicating that it want to find the script: ``` FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Scripts\MyScript.py' ``` I've confirmed that the script exists at that path. I tried running the command without specifying the `-WorkingDirectory`, and it works fine: ```powershell Start-Process -FilePath 'python.exe' -ArgumentList 'C:\Scripts\MyScript.py' ``` It seems like the working directory setting isn't being applied as I expected. I've even checked the environment variables before and after running the command to ensure there's no interference. Has anyone else experienced this scenario or have an idea on how to work around it? I need to set the working directory because I have other input files that my script references, which are also in that directory. Any suggestions or best practices for properly using `Start-Process` with a custom working directory in PowerShell 7.3 would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is macOS. Any ideas what could be causing this? For context: I'm using Powershell on Linux. Thanks for any help you can provide! My development environment is Ubuntu 22.04. What are your experiences with this? Is there a simpler solution I'm overlooking? For context: I'm using Powershell on Debian. Thanks for any help you can provide!
