How Can I Make This Script Run For All Members of My Team?

I've figured out how to get powershell to check for a running DLL and if it's not running, to run it. I type npm run passthru and the script does the work:

  "scripts": {
    "passthru": "powershell if (-not (Get-Process -Name MyPassThruApp -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) { dotnet run --project C:/git/MyPassThruApp/MyPassThruApp/MyPassThruApp.csproj }",
  },

All well and good, but I want the script to work for any member of my team (on Windows). I tried adding the path to the .csproj file to the Path environment variable (and removing it from the script), but that didn't work - it won't run for me, even after restarting the computer.

Suggestions?

Normally ¹, as is the case with the dotnet CLI, the PATH environment variable isn't used to resolve file paths for other file types than executables (e. g. .exe, .cmd, .bat, .ps1).

You may create a dedicated environment variable, say MY_CSPROJ_PATH that specifies the path to the project file and then use it like this:

--project $env:MY_CSPROJ_PATH

Alternatively you could use the convention that the project files have to reside in a fixed sub directory of the user's directory, in which case the $env:HOME environment variable could be used:

--project $env:HOME\projects\MyPassThruApp\MyPassThruApp\MyPassThruApp.csproj

^{[1] As an aside, PowerShell unexpectedly does execute (open with the default shell action) arbitrary files in $env:PATH - see GitHub issue #12632.}
