Using a relative -path for Import-VcCmApp causes errors

[grantemsley]

Expected Behavior

Not getting errors, and applications created properly. Failing that, stopping before creating any applications.

Current Behavior

Applications get created but with no deployment types and lots of errors.

This is repeated for each application.

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

This command causes the problem:

Import-VCCMApp -VCList $vclist -path . -cmpath "\\srv-configmgr\sourcefiles\apps\Microsoft\VCRedist" -smssitecode ABC -AppFolder VCRedist

This command does not:

Import-VCCMApp -VCList $vclist -path c:\users\gemsley\documents\temp -cmpath "\\srv-configmgr\sourcefiles\apps\Microsoft\VCRedist" -smssitecode ABC -AppFolder VCRedist

Context

This seems to happen because UNC paths don't work while the current directory is in the configuration manager site provider.

Even simple commands like this fail:

cd c:\
dir \\server\path
<gets list of files>

cd ABC:\Application\VCRedist
dir \\server\path

dir : Cannot find path '\\server\path' because it does not exist.

Have added private function Get-ValidPath and will update Import-VcCmApp to resolve full -Path when importing

Fixed in release release v1.4.1.79
