Can you spot what is wrong here?
PS C:\> function r { "This never runs" }
PS C:\> r
function r { "This never runs" }
PS C:\>
When you run function “r”, it simply returns the function source code.
The reason is that the function name “r” conflicts with a built-in alias:
PS C:\> Get-Alias r CommandType Name Version Source ----------- ---- ------- ------ Alias r -> Invoke-History PS C:\>
So always make sure you know your built-in alias names – they always have precedence over functions or any other command. Better yet, adhere to best practice, and always assign Verb-Noun names to your functions.
