How to create relative symlink powershell way?

Starting with pwsh 7.1.X sample1 works as expected:

#new ps5 Item cmdlets (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/wmf/5.0/feedback_symbolic) are not working well with relative paths#C:\Temp\foo and C:\Temp\foo\foo.txt are returned$fld = New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Name 'bar' -Target '.\foo'$fl = New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Name 'bar.txt' -Target '.\foo\foo.txt'$fld.Target$fl.Target

You might try adding this function to your $PROFILE.

Function SymbolicLink-Add {[CmdLetBinding( )]Param ( [string] $File, [string] $SymbolicLinkFolder )$LinkFile = (Get-Item $File)if ( $false -eq $LinkFile.Exists ){    return "Cannot create symbolic link file does not exist: [$File]"}if ( $false -eq ( Test-Path $SymbolicLinkFolder ) ){    New-Item -Type Directory -Path $SymbolicLinkFolder     -ErrorAction Stop}New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path $SymbolicLinkFolder -Name $LinkFile.Name -Value $LinkFile}

Try something like this:

$fld = [string]"C:\Temp\bar"$fl = [string]"C:\Temp\foo\foo.txt"# Link to FileNew-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Target $fl -Path $fld  -Force# Link to DirectoryNew-Item -ItemType Junction -Path C:\Temp\bar -Target C:\Temp\foo -Force
