################################################################################ <# .SYNOPSIS Initializes and configures system search paths for package management. .DESCRIPTION This function builds a comprehensive list of search paths by combining default system locations, chocolatey paths, development tool paths, and custom package paths. It then updates the system's PATH environment variable with these consolidated paths. .PARAMETER WorkspaceFolder The workspace folder path to use for node modules and PowerShell paths. .EXAMPLE Initialize-SearchPaths -WorkspaceFolder "C:\workspace" #> function Initialize-SearchPaths { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "Default")] [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute("PSUseSingularNouns", "")] param( [Parameter(Position = 0)] [string] $WorkspaceFolder = "$PSScriptRoot\..\..\..\..\..\" ) begin { Write-Verbose "Initializing search paths collection" } process { # create a new list to store unique search paths $searchPaths = [System.Collections.Generic.List[string]] (@( # add system and development tool paths (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramData}\chocolatey\bin\") (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "$WorkspaceFolder\node_modules\.bin"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "$WorkspaceFolder\powershell"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramFiles}\Git\cmd"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramFiles}\nodejs"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramFiles}\Google\Chrome\Application"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramFiles}\Microsoft VS Code\bin"), (GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path "${env:ProgramFiles}\dotnet") ) + @( # add paths from GenXdev packages $GenXdevPackages | ForEach-Object { if (-not [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($PSItem.searchpath)) { # escape special characters in path $path = $PSItem.searchpath.replace('`', '``').replace( '"', '`"') # evaluate any variables in the path $path = Invoke-Expression "`"$path`"" # convert to full path GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path $path } } )) # process existing PATH entries Write-Verbose "Processing existing PATH environment entries" @($env:Path.Split(';')) | ForEach-Object -Process { $path = $PSItem if ([String]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($path) -eq $false) { try { # convert to full path $fullPath = GenXdev.FileSystem\Expand-Path $path # add path if not already present if ($searchPaths.IndexOf($fullPath) -lt 0) { $null = $searchPaths.Add($fullPath) } } catch { Write-Host "Could not parse path: $PSItem" } } } # update system PATH with consolidated search paths Write-Verbose "Updating system PATH environment variable" $env:Path = [string]::Join(";", $searchPaths) } end { } } ################################################################################ |
