The problem is pretty straightforward: I have a script that uses $PSScriptRoot, but when I ran the script in a ThreadJob, it malfunctioned, because $PSScriptRoot evaluated to an empty string.
Repro steps:
echo 'Write-Host "PSScriptRoot is: $PSScriptRoot"' > ReproThreadJobHasNoScriptRoot.ps1
start-threadjob -FilePath .\ReproThreadJobHasNoScriptRoot.ps1 | Receive-Job -Wait
Expected result:
PSScriptRoot is: <it should print out the current directory>
Actual result:
