Not able to run powershell scripts

I’m trying to run a PostDeploy.ps1 powershell script, but I seem unable to run any. Even the most simple scripts fail with:

Working dir: c:\Octopus\Applications\Test\My.Database\1.0.1.32810_4
Variables:
Running script…
ERROR: Missing expression after unary operator ‘-’.
ERROR: At line:1 char:2

ERROR: .Database\1.0.1.32810_4\Bootstrap.360e07e8-a7dc-4cea-a68a-8d1a792b06df.ps

PowerShell exit code: 0

If I run the script manually, they succeed. So it seems to be something wrong with the server configuration.

I added a different machine and it works on that machine, so it’s definitely a server configuration issue. Any ideas? Maybe powershell version?

Hi Jonne,

Is it possible that the server the script fails on is running PowerShell
1.0?

Hi Paul,

It was indeed running PowerShell 1.0. I’ve upgraded it to 2.0 and now it works. Thanks!
