No response

Steps to reproduce

I have write a custom function Get-Tools which will show some items like menu. All this time I used gsudo which is working just fine like gsudo Get-Tools and I run this function as Admin.
Now I just received native sudo support with latest Windows update and for some reason I can't run function in same way sudo Get-Tools return Command not found.

Expected Behavior

I expected to run function as admin.

Actual Behavior

Noting, got message that command not Command not found.

Thanks for filling this issue. I suspect this might be related to the #5 stuff that is not yet supported.

@lhecker wrote a good summary of what's happening in a different thread #110:

mkdir is a builtin command of PowerShell, not a standalone application like it would be on UNIX/Linux. You have to write sudo powershell -c '...' or sudo pwsh -c '...' to launch PowerShell and tell it to execute your command(s).

If you were to use cmd then sudo mkdir test would work. The builtin commands of cmd are quite a bit simpler and haven't changed in decades, so sudo supports them as a "shortcut" to help cmd users.

Yea, this is definitely /dup #5. We need to better natively support PowerShell functions. IIRC sudo.ps1 should be able to handle this case cleaner, if you add that to your profile
