Write-Output $PSVersionTable
executable: pwsh.exeEXPECTED RESULTS
Task runs and returns successfully with no visible issues.
ACTUAL RESULTS
Task runs and returns successfully, however the output is broken and there's a clear indication of some issue in the backend. I can run with extra verbosity but I think the normal output gives all the necessary information.
You can see the C# errors and the broken output with an unknown list inserted in it.

Thanks, I wonder if the issue is due to a change in pwsh 7.4 which uses dotnet 8. Will have to look into the Add-Type error and see how we can fix this.
I am weirdly not able to replicate the error but I believe #572 will fix this issue for you. I'm not sure if potentially there are some env vars that might be cause a problem here or whether a custom compiler is higher in the PATH causing these errors to be emitted.
In that case I'll wait until I can test with a fixed version and report afterwards
