Failed to read configuration file. endpoints.ps1

PowerShell Universal

Hello,

I loop on this error: “Failed to read configuration file. Endpoints.ps1” and since then, impossible to use anything related to APIs.

Here are the logs :

I have already tried the following solutions:

  • stop the Powershell Universal service
  • delete all the contents of the repository folder
  • restart the service and wait for the git sync
    Same error message!
  • stop the Powershell Universal service
  • delete all the contents of the repository folder and the database.db file
  • restart the service and wait for the git sync
    Same error message!
  • stop the Powershell Universal service
  • delete the endpoint.ps1 file from VS Code and do a git sync
  • restart the service and wait for the git sync
  • Create a test endpoint with the web interface
    Same error message!

  1. Same thing but recreating the endpoint directly in the file.
    Same error message!

  • reinstall PowerShell Universal with the MSI
    Same error message

I’m running out of ideas on how to fix this problem.

Product: PowerShell Universal

It failing to launch powershell. What do you have in your settings.ps1 and environments.ps1?

Once again, thank you @adam

After commenting on the PowerShell 7 line in environments.ps1, I have no more worries.

I had to make a modification from my personal pc because the development server was not reachable, I suppose that is when the environments.ps1 file was automatically modified to list the versions of PowerShell that i have on this machine. Then the git synchronization sent the changes to my server.

A big thank you because I could have looked for a while and above all I could have reproduced the error without knowing.
