Script duplication / Upgrade issues

Script duplication / Upgrade issues

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 5.5.3 / 5.5.4

Good Morning,

We are currently running version 5.5.3. we have two issues:

  1. Yesterday I upgraded it to 5.5.4

  • According to my MSI logs the installation was successful but the console for PSU was just stuck at loading.

  • I now rolled back to 5.5.3, and it is operating. But I am concerned, what went wrong? How to prevent it ?

The other issue:

  • it seems most script folder shows duplicates of the scripts

  • i.e. the one on the screenshot has one script physically on the file system, but shows the same script 8x on the PSU

  • (this is happening across all the folders, with all the scripts, so you can see how problematic is this)

Is there any way to prevent / reverse this?

Thanks,

Fabrice

Typically, the spinning is a result of the server failing to start fully. You should check the system logs for Failed to Start PowerShell Universal.

As for the scripts duplicating, take a look in your scripts.ps1 in the universal folder to see if there are duplicate entries.

I am seeing a very large number of duplicates in my scripts as well. I cleared them out yesterday, restarted, and scripts.ps1 didnt have duplicates but there were still several scripts duplicated in the GUI.

Just looked again today, and we have a very large number of duplicates in scripts.ps1 again. I think I worked with you on a similar issue sometime last year on an earlier version but the duplication stopped.

also.. Just upgraded from 5.5.3 to 5.5.4

Support email sent.. I included files form our environment so I didn’t want to open straight to Github

I’ve open an issue to track this here: [5.5.4] Script Duplication · Issue #4847 · ironmansoftware/powershell-universal · GitHub

Do either of you have the Disable Auto Reload setting set in settings.ps1? I ask because in v5.6, I was seeing the file system watcher cause some weird behavior. Not duplication, but some inconsistencies in our integration tests. That said, I did not see this in 5.5.4, so it may be unrelated.
