Cmder: $ENV:CMDER_START has a double quote too much

[Kurdym]

starting a powershell shell gives an error:

Set-Location : Illegal characters in path.
At F:\Standalone\_console\cmder\vendor\profile.ps1:90 char:5
+     Set-Location -Path "$ENV:CMDER_START"

And

λ echo $ENV:CMDER_START
C:\Users\Kurdy"

Starting powershell as Admin goes OK.

Is there progress?
Can I provide more information?

[Jackbennett]

I wonder how that " got there. What is your $env:username and if you ls c:\users what's that folder named?

Finally what the registry path set to for "cmder here" either tell me from regedit or with PS;

1. New-PSDrive -Name HKCR -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Add HKEY Class Root
2. get-itemproperty "HKCR:\Directory\Shell\Cmder\Command"
3. get-itemproperty "HKCR:\Directory\Background\Shell\Cmder\Command"

[Kurdym]

λ echo $env:username
Kurdy

λ ls c:\users

    Directory: C:\users

I do use the portable version of Cmder, and always startup from my file manager "Directory Opus" with the /start argument.

Oh ok, so powershell just does this for you when you open it all the time (in cmder of course). I thought this must be from the "CMDER Here" context menu when your use cmder.exe /register

So I'm looking at the task setting in conemu here, what's your $env:userprofile ?

[Kurdym]

λ $env:userprofile
C:\Users\Kurdy

For a moment I was afraid it was my msitake, since I added :P:"^<PowerShell^>" at the end,
but I created a new task, copied the string you refered to, replaced all " with " and ran that task.
Same error.

[Jackbennett]

Have you tried leaving them as " though? It might be to get around how conemu might parse that task.

[Kurdym]

This is what I copy to a new task:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -NoExit -Command "Invoke-Expression '. ''%ConEmuDir%\..\profile.ps1'''" -new_console:d:"%USERPROFILE%"

And this error I get then:

ConEmu 161009a [64]
---------------------------
Can't create new console, command execution failed (code 267)

The directory name is invalid.



"F:\Standalone\_console\cmder\vendor\conemu-maximus5\ConEmu\ConEmuC64.exe"  /OMITHOOKSWARN /CINMODE=200020 /AID=19724 /GID=23668 /GHWND=0012162A /BW=169 /BH=69 /BZ=2000 "/FN=Lucida Console" /FW=3 /FH=5 /TA=10100007 /HIDE /ROOT PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -NoExit -Command "Invoke-Expression '. ''%ConEmuDir%\..\profile.ps1'''"



Working folder:

""C:\Users\Kurdy""



Choose your shell?
---------------------------
Yes   No   
---------------------------

[Jackbennett]

Will you try PowerShell -new_console:d:%USERPROFILE% -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NoProfile -NoExit -Command "Invoke-Expression '. ''%ConEmuDir%\..\profile.ps1'''"; please?

[Kurdym]

No luck: didn't work either.

[Jackbennett]

Not too sure about this one then, @MartiUK Can the launcher in some way be passing in $ENV:CMDER_START string with an extra quote?

[MartiUK]

The launcher sets CMDER_START to directory given as a /START argument or the current directory.

[Kurdym]

Starting by doubleclicking cmder.exe "solves" the problem.
So it must be within /start

[MartiUK]

If you have created a shortcut, check what you have put after /START

[Kurdym]

Well, it was with Directory Opus. The command was:

@sync:F:\Standalone\_console\cmder\Cmder.exe /start "{sourcepath}"

After removing the quotes, it was OK.

[Jackbennett]

Are you ok now? Feel free to re-open.

[Kurdym]

It is workable for me now, but it remains strange the cmd tab had no problems, nor did admin powershell, but the powershell did. So for me you can leave it closed. Thanks for all the help.

[Ultraman95]

In profile.ps1 file , Find Set-Location -Path "$ENV:CMDER_START" replace with Set-Location -Path $ENV:CMDER_START.replace("`"","")
