Script duplication / Upgrade issues

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.

We did not, but I just set it and will monitor

Sorry for the late reply.

We currently run two instances. Both is on 5.5.4

1. The “DEV” (which had these issues) I have rebuilt from scratch, and it is for now does not have duplicates (this was the one I initially wrote about).

the settings.ps1:

cat C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\Repository\.universal\settings.ps1
$Parameters = @{
        EnhancedAppTokenSecurity = $true
        ApiSecurityModel = "Medium"
}
Set-PSUSetting @Parameters

1. The “PROD” instance shows duplicates, and I see this in the settings:

PS C:\Users\admin-FSemti> cat C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\Repository\.universal\settings.ps1
$Parameters = @{
        DefaultEnvironment = "Windows PowerShell 5.1"
        SessionTimeout = 0
        EnhancedAppTokenSecurity = $true
        ApiSecurityModel = "Medium"
        DefaultRunOn = "INFR-VL-RRX-01"
}
Set-PSUSetting @Parameters

Not sure if any of these related to the duplication?

On the “PROD”:




This is in contrast with what the “repository” actually contains (no duplicates)

I know the card is already closed and I had updated it there, but turning Disable Auto Reload on, stopping the service, and cleaning up the duplicates in the scripts.ps1 file, did fix the issue for 5.5.4.

Yep, that done it.
Thanks for the input all.
