脚本在ISE中运行，但不在Powershell中运行

Question

I have a powershell script . This script runs perfectly fine if I open it in Powershell ISE, however, if I right click on the file and click 'run with powershell' the script throws an error.

Furthermore, I read in previous threads that the following execution pattern solved the issue for some people:

powershell -STA -File script.ps1

In this case this didn't solve the issue, however it did allow me to read the error:

At C:\Users\sancarn\AppData\Local\Temp\script.ps1:20 char:20
+         $parent = [System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode]$global:database.Ite ...

Unable to find type [System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode].
    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound

This having been said, I'm not sure I can really do anything about this error specifically... I already load System.Windows.Forms and System.Drawing ... Does anyone have any idea how to execute this file properly?

Edit

Other attempts at trying to fix the issue:

powershell -NoExit -STA -File script.ps1
powershell -NoExit -STA -File script.ps1 -Scope Global

Edit 2

I have also tried adding:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

To the top of the powershell script. The issue remains unresolved however.

Answer 1

As @PetSerAl said in his comment, the answer is in https://stackoverflow.com/a/34637458

Every PowerShell script is completely parsed before the first statement in the script is executed. An unresolvable type name token inside a class definition is considered a parse error. To solve your problem, you have to load your types before the class definition is parsed, so the class definition has to be in a separate file.

Ultimately to resolve the issue I need to either load my class definitions as a separate file, or store my declarations in a header file, which calls the class definitions (and the rest of the script).

I am amazed this was even an issue but it works now, so that's good...

Edit

In my case it is a bit different to the post linked by the solution author. I'm actually building a ruby library for executing Powershell on windows machines. Currently I don't write data to a file and I can't guarantee that a here-string/invoke-expression will work.

Invoke-Expression @"
$anotherString=@"
    hello world!
"@    
"@ <--- Powershell will throw an error here!

Instead I've decided to encode the body if a header is present, and then decode and execute at runtime

require 'base64'
if header!=""
    encoded_body = Base64.strict_encode64(body.encode("utf-16le"))
    body = <<-END_TRANSFORMATION
        #{header}

        $encoded_body = "#{encoded_body}"
        Invoke-Expression $([System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetString([System.Convert]::FromBase64String($encoded_body)))
    END_TRANSFORMATION
end

So far this has appeared to work in all cases, doesn't need external files, and will work even if users use here-doc strings in their Powershell scripts!
