Handle ~ in PATH #11531
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Put any executable (ex.
myExe) at the following path:~/foo/ - Add that path to your PATH
$env:PATH = "~/foo$([System.IO.Path]::PathSeparator)$env:PATH"Try to tab complete your executable or just run myExe
Expected behavior
The executable myExe is run.
This works just fine in bash and zsh and things like .NET global tools rely on the ~ support in the PATH so we should really fix this.
caveat
Bash seems to do more - it can handle variables inside of the PATH but that seems like overkill and I can't think of any example that uses that "feature".
We handle tilda pretty much everywhere else, we should be able to support it in application resolution.
Actual behavior
The term 'myExe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
