Is there an environment variable a PowerShell script could use to detect if it’s being executed from within Octopus?

Hi @cgarcia!

Thanks for reaching out, and for the great question.

We do have a few PowerShell variables you could leverage in this scenario - the easiest of which is probably $OctopusParameters. Another option here is to use the Get-Variable commandlet inside a Run a script step in Octopus to see if there’s something else that could be more fitting.

I hope this helps!
