CodeMethod invoke fails with dot syntax but works with Foreach-Object -MemberName #4826
Description
Steps to reproduce
using namespace System.Management.Automation
class Y{
[int] $Id
}
class X{
static [void] OpenUri([psobject] $obj) {
$id = $obj.Id
start-process "http://baseuri/$id"
}
static [void] UpdateTypeData(){
$td = [Runspaces.Typedata]::new([Y])
$td.Members.Add("OpenUri",
[Runspaces.CodeMethodData]::new("OpenUri", [X]::GetMethodInfo([X], "OpenUri")));
Update-TypeData -TypeData $td -Force
}
hidden static [Reflection.MethodInfo] GetMethodInfo([Type] $type, [string] $method) {
return $type.GetMethod($method, [Reflection.BindingFlags]::Static -bor [Reflection.BindingFlags]::Public -bor [Reflection.BindingFlags]::IgnoreCase);
}
}
[X]::UpdateTypeData()
$y = [Y]::new()
#works
$y | % OpenUri
#fails with No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Void' and 'System.Object'.
$y.OpenUri()
Expected behavior
Same behavior invoking method with dot syntax as when invoked via Foreach-Object -MemberName
Actual behavior
fails with
No coercion operator is defined between types 'System.Void' and 'System.Object'.
