How to correctly concatenate string in Powershell inline script in Azure DevOps?

Question

I try to concatenate string to construct a path:

$SourceDirectoryPath = $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory) + \"/solution/project/bin/Debug\"
$TargetFilePath =         


        

Answer 1

This should work as well. $( ) outside of doublequotes would only be used to combine two or more statements. Most people don't even know about it.

This is actually incorrect. I didn't know Azure Pipeline syntax. It just shows how confusing combining both Powershell and Azure Pipeline can be. This would work if $System were a Powershell object, not an Azure macro.

$SourceDirectoryPath = $System.DefaultWorkingDirectory + '/solution/project/bin/Debug'
