Dot sourcing a function does not allow $MyInvocation to be used as a default parameter #4840
Description
It can be useful to run functions (vs. scripts) in the current scope. @Jaykul's Get-ParameterValues is an example
At the moment, it appears that a dot sourced function does not actually run in the current scope. Apologies if I'm using the wrong phrasing, the example should clarify things:
Steps to reproduce
function Test-MyInvocationParam {
[cmdletbinding()]
param($Invocation = $MyInvocation)
$Invocation
}
function Test-Bug {
[cmdletbinding()]
param($a=1)
. Test-MyInvocationParam
}
(Test-Bug).MyCommand.NameExpected behavior
Test-Bug
Actual behavior
Test-MyInvocationParam
