ConsoleApp hosting PowerShell fails when published as single file #13540
Description
Probably the wrong repo to report this and most likely I did something wrong. I get an exception when I try to create a runspace in a console application published as a single file. Runs fine when published normally.
Steps to reproduce
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK" Version="7.1.0-preview.6" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
using System;
using System.Management.Automation.Runspaces;
namespace ConsoleApp1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var rs = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace();
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
}
}dotnet publish -r win-x64 --self-contained false /p:PublishSingleFile=true
Expected behavior
Hello World
Actual behavior
Unhandled exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.PSVersionInfo' threw an exception.
