If running on Windows and the current session is not elevated, causes an exception to be thrown. .PARAMETER User Adds the path entry to the environment variable at the User-level environment variable scope. If running on Windows and the current session is not elevated, causes an exception to be thrown. .PARAMETER Process Adds the path entry to the environment variable at the Process-level environment variable scope. .PARAMETER Scope The scope of the environment variable to which the path entry will be added. If running on Windows and the current session is not elevated, values other than 'Process' cause an exception to be thrown. .PARAMETER Name The name of the environment variable to which the path entry will be added. .PARAMETER Value The path entry to add to the environment variable. .PARAMETER Prepend If specified, the path entry will be prepended to the environment variable rather than appended. .EXAMPLE Add-EnvVarPathItem -Process -Name "PATH" -Value "C:\Program Files\MyApp" .EXAMPLE Add-EnvVarPathItem -Process -NAME "PSModulePath" -Value "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Modules" -Prepend .COMPONENT env #> function Add-EnvVarPathItem() { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "ProcessScopeForValue")] param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName="MachineScopeForValue", Position=0)] [switch] $Machine, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName="ProcessScopeForValue", Position=0)] [switch] $Process, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName="UserScopeForValue", Position=0)] [switch] $User, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, ParameterSetName="ScopeValueForValue", Position=0)] [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget] $Scope, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=1)] [ValidateLength(1, [int]::MaxValue)] [string] $Name, [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=2, ValueFromPipeline=$true)] [ValidateLength(1, [int]::MaxValue)] [string] $Value, [Parameter(Mandatory=$false, Position=3)] [switch] $Prepend ) Begin { if ($Machine -and $Machine.IsPresent) { $Scope = [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine } elseif ($Process -and $Process.IsPresent) { $Scope = [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Process } elseif ($User -and $User.IsPresent) { $Scope = [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User } if (-not [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::IsDefined($Scope)) { throw "Unrecognized EnvironmentVariableTarget '$Scope'" } if ($IsWindows -and ($Scope -ne [System.EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Process)) { [bool] $isElevated = Test-Elevation if (-not $isElevated) { throw "Elevated session required for EnvironmentVariableTarget '$Scope'" } } } Process { [string] $extantPath = Get-EnvVar -Scope $Scope -Name $Name -Value [string[]] $pathItems = $extantPath -split [System.IO.Path]::PathSeparator $pathItems = $pathItems | Where-Object { $_ -ne $Value } if ($Prepend -and $Prepend.IsPresent) { $pathItems = @(,$Value) + $pathItems } else { $pathItems = $pathItems + @(,$Value) } [string] $newPathValue = $pathItems -join [System.IO.Path]::PathSeparator Set-EnvVar -Scope $Scope -Name $Name -Value $newPathValue } } |
