Description

Steps to reproduce

This reproduces about 25% of the time on my laptop. I think we may be exposing a gap in the fix for #1516, perhaps because we have about 250 .ps1 files in the repo.

Get-ChildItem *.ps1 -Recurse | % { Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path $_ -Settings .\PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 }
  • If it doesn't reproduce on the first try, launch a new PowerShell window, cd into the folder, and try again.

Expected behavior

No error.

Actual behavior

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If an unexpected error was thrown then please report the full error details using e.g. $error[0] | Select-Object *
