Use Task to Setup Enviroment Variables

[RamblingCookieMonster]

Hiyo!

Strange! I'll play around with it when I have a few minutes, might be a little while (about to head out of town).

Long story short, each layer dot sources the scriptblock... so in your working example:

• Deploy sets up collection and...
• Dot sources scriptblock for By Task
• Dot sources nested FromSource
• Dot sources scriptblock for By Noop

Something might be off in the logic - it seems like you should see the env bits you set even in your first example, as long as the task runs first, but there might be some oddity in the code.

Cheers!

Actually the only way it did work out for me in the end is to setup the enviroment variables in a powershell script before i call the Invoke-PSDeploy command. I have not managed to setup enviroment variables in a task so that another part of the psdeploy.ps1 file could pic the variables up then.
