Bug Report

Current Behavior

Example: scoop install gsudo
This causes scoop to add a user environment variable, PSModulePath and add two entries to it:

  1. <scoop-dir>/modules
  2. $env:USERPROFILE/Documents/WindowsPowerShell/Modules

Expected Behavior

The second path should take into account whether the user has used Windows Documents folder redirection.

Additional context/output

If the user has moved the Documents folder to a different location, PowerShell will store the modules there. Usually, PS will automatically add this path to PSModulePath at startup, but it doesn't if the user has set a custom path, like scoop does. Which is why scoop needs to add the second path in the first place.

Possible Solution

The second path above should actually be $([Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments'))/WindowsPowerShell/Modules
