Description
Steps to reproduce
$Path='C:\temp'
#remove-item "$Path\TestPS" -recurse
md "$Path\TestPS"
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\F*.txt" -File -Recurse #OK no file
md "$Path\TestPS\D1"
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS" -Directory -Recurse #Ok one directory
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -Directory -Recurse #NOK no result
"Test" > "$Path\TestPS\D1\File1.txt"
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\F*.txt" -File -Recurse #OK one file
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS" -File -Recurse #OK one file
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -File -Recurse #NOK no result
#Add a file into the 'root' of the search
"Test" > "$Path\TestPS\File2.txt"
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -File -Recurse #OK two files !!! Different !!!
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -Directory -Recurse #OK one directory !!! Different !!!
remove-item "$Path\TestPS\File2.txt"
#The 'root' of the search is empty
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -File -Recurse #NOK no result
get-childitem -path "$Path\TestPS\*" -Directory -Recurse #NOK no result
#original path
#Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Users\laurent\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default*' -File -Rec
#it works
#Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Users\laurent\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default*' -Rec|Where-Object {-not $_.PSIsContainer}Expected behavior
