documents in onedrive #160
Description
PROBLEM IDENTIFIED:
The script uses: [Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments") + "\PowerShell\LastExecutionTime.txt"
This always points to C:\Users\Username\Documents\PowerShell\LastExecutionTime.txt
But when the profile is in OneDrive, it should be in the same directory as the profile
CORRECT FIX - Replace the $timeFilePath definition with:
Use the same directory where the PowerShell profile is located
$profileDirectory = Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE
$timeFilePath = Join-Path $profileDirectory "LastExecutionTime.txt"
This way, the LastExecutionTime.txt file will be created in the same directory
as the profile, whether it's in local Documents, OneDrive, or anywhere else
===== ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES =====
Option 1: Keep it in PowerShell directory relative to profile location
$timeFilePath = Join-Path (Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE) "LastExecutionTime.txt"
Option 2: Create a PowerShell subdirectory in the profile's parent directory
$profileParent = Split-Path -Parent (Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE)
$timeFilePath = Join-Path $profileParent "PowerShell\LastExecutionTime.txt"
Ensure directory exists
if (!(Test-Path -Path (Split-Path -Parent $timeFilePath))) {
New-Item -Path (Split-Path -Parent $timeFilePath) -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
}
Option 3: Use temp directory as fallback if needed
$profileDir = Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE
if (Test-Path $profileDir) {
$timeFilePath = Join-Path $profileDir "LastExecutionTime.txt"
} else {
$timeFilePath = Join-Path $env:TEMP "PowerShell_LastExecutionTime.txt"
}
===== RECOMMENDED FIX FOR PULL REQUEST =====
Replace this line:
$timeFilePath = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments") + "\PowerShell\LastExecutionTime.txt"
With this line:
$timeFilePath_Override = Join-Path (Split-Path -Parent $PROFILE.CurrentUserCurrentHost) "LastExecutionTime.txt"
or do edit-profile and put the above definition in the new profile.ps1
