Error Running Powershell Script Using PSCX

We're running a Team City build server which already executes this script locally with no problem. However, when I try to run this script manually I have the following problem:

So I see the PowerShell Community Extenstions are getting imported (line 4) which makes me wonder what is going on. I am running the script as the exact same user that runs it under Team City. I've checked the build step I'm trying to replicate:

and I can't think of anything that I've missed (working directory option is set to the script file's directory). Any ideas would be appreciated...

Solution

  • Line 4 loads Pscx, Line 5 opens up a new powershell session with -NoProfile option, so it's unlikely that Pscx is loaded in that Powershell session.
