Unexpected token '?' in expression or statement

I'm trying to run a script I didn't write and I'm getting this issue:

Unexpected token '?' in expression or statement.

The line of code causing this is:

$configuration = $Env:ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT -eq "CI" ? "Release" : "Debug"

From what I found, this is a perfectly ok way to write a one-line or in-line if-then-else statement.

Any ideas?
