Command line arguments sent to a file do not send in full if the argument contains a dollar sign. I have tried every combination of escape character and quote configuration that I can think of. I am not certain if this is specific to the dollar sign but I was able to use single quotes with an exclamation mark in the argument and that worked fine.
I was not able to find any explanation for this in other open issues or the known issues but I apologize if I'm missing something obvious here.
Steps to reproduce
Create a new ps1 file called test.ps1 with this snippet.
param(
[string]$foo
)
write-host$foo
Then calling it from the command line
powershell ./test.ps1 -foo 'Before$After'
Expected behavior
Before$After
Actual behavior
Before
