Call a function in another script when executing using 'Run With PowerShell'


In the worker file change to this:

. "c:\scratch\b.ps1"ShowMessage "Hello"

As @RoiDanton mentioned below:

Attention when using relative pathing: Don't forget to prepend a dot before the path . ".\b.ps1".

The first dot is an operator used to modify the scope and in that context it has nothing to do with paths. See Dot Source Notation.


In your worker file, dot-source the library file, this will load all content (functions, variables, etc) to the global scope, and then you'll be able to call functions from the library file.

=================== Worker file ==========================# dot-source library script# notice that you need to have a space # between the dot and the path of the script. c:\library.ps1ShowMessage -AValue Hello=================== End Worker file ======================
