New-FileCatalog: Paths for catalog contains multiple files with same relative path #26702
Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
- Search the existing issues.
- Refer to the FAQ.
- Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.
Steps to reproduce
Create a simple folder structure with at least one file name duplicated in different folders. Save the paths to a variable.
PS C:\temp\data3> $files
C:\temp\data3\demo1.json
C:\temp\data3\demo2.json
C:\temp\data3\demo3.json
C:\temp\data3\docs\function\demo.ps1
C:\temp\data3\docs\function\demo2.ps1
C:\temp\data3\docs\x.txt
C:\temp\data3\files\demo1.json
C:\temp\data3\files\demo2.json
C:\temp\data3\foo\bar\that.txt
C:\temp\data3\foo\bar\this.txt
C:\temp\data3\foo\bar2\that.txt
C:\temp\data3\foo\bar2\this.txt
C:\temp\data3\localmodules2.jsonIn the folder run: new-fileCatalog -CatalogFilePath . -catalogVersion 2 -Path $files
Expected behavior
If I am reading the help correctly, this should create a catalog file for the listed files in `$files`. If I run `new-fileCatalog -CatalogFilePath . -catalogVersion 2` there are no errors, but I also end up with other catalog items like the hidden .git folder and files in my .gitexclude folder. I thought I could use the `-Path` parameter to create a very specific file catalog.Actual behavior
Catalog is not created.Error details
