GeezerVison is showing github.com — Allow dynamic parameter to be returned for `Get-Content` even if path matches nothing to get correct error by SteveL-MSFT · Pull Request #7957 · PowerShell/PowerShell
Conversation
PR Summary
Get-Content works against a provider (which is currently only supported by filesystemprovider). In the case of dynamic parameters, Get-Content uses globbing to get the appropriate provider to request dynamic parameters. Previously, after globbing it would use the first resolved path to obtain the dynamic parameter and if globbing returned nothing, it would not request the dynamic parameter from the provider. This results in confusing errors to the user reporting that -Raw is not valid, when it is.
The fix is to let the provider decide what to do with the given path when obtaining the dynamic parameters. In the case of the filesystem provider, it doesn't even use the path.
Fix #6954
