HostDefaults.Json Issue

[DexterPOSH]

The HostDefaults.json uses entries like below :

"ConfigurationPath": "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\TestLab\Configurations",

I was under the impression that when I run Start-LabHostConfiguration for the first time it will automatically create the required folders under the system drive. But the %SYSTEMDRIVE% is not being expanded in the path by the function.

This creates the directory in my current path rather than the System Drive.

I can work on fixing it, if you confirm I am not doing it wrong.

Hi @DexterPOSH - that could well be a bug. It used to create the folders when running Set-LabHostDefaults, but that behaviour was changed.

Looking at the screenshots, it looks like there needs to be a ResolvePathEx -Path $property call just before the NewDirectory call to expand/resolve the path first. The Test-LabHostConfiguration method will probably need to be fixed too!

If you're happy to fix and sent a PR that'd be appreciated!
