Add-Type doesn't work properly in PowerShell Azure Functions

[daxian-dbw]

Add-Type depends on a set of reference assemblies to properly compile C# code. PowerShell language worker currently doesn't ship the refs folder as what pwsh does.

@vexx32 are you doing that at all in PSWordCloud? Maybe this could be related.

@daxian-dbw would this be a PowerShell issue? Does the SDK give us this refs folder?

[vexx32]

On a Windows-based platform, yes, Add-Type is necessary to execute the p/invoke to set the native assembly load path based on architecture. 🙂

@TylerLeonhardt this should be a PowerShell SDK issue. Not just the language worker, any application that host PowerShell will have the same problem.

[TylerLeonhardt]

That makes sense, we should probably open this on PowerShell, right?

[daxian-dbw]

Right, issue opened: PowerShell/PowerShell#9587

This issue is fixed.
