Variable defined in InitialSessionState is not available in scriptblock originating from another runspace #7593
Description
This came up when experimenting with @lzybkr's workaround for #7530. In short, I'm using the ScriptBlock (not just its string representation) from one runspace in another so that file position information is correctly reported when an error is encountered.
Steps to reproduce
$scriptblock = {
"a in dot-invoked scriptblock: $a"
}
$powershell = [powershell]::Create().
AddScript({
"a in outer scriptblock: $a"
. $args[0]
}).
AddArgument($scriptblock)
$initialSessionState = [initialsessionstate]::CreateDefault()
$initialSessionState.Variables.Add(
[System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.SessionStateVariableEntry]::new(
'a',
1,
''
)
)
$runspace = [runspacefactory]::CreateRunspace($initialSessionState)
$runspace.Open()
$powershell.Runspace = $runspace
$powershell.Invoke()Expected behavior
a in outer scriptblock: 1
a in dot-invoked scriptblock: 1
Actual behavior
a in outer scriptblock: 1
a in dot-invoked scriptblock:
