Only receiving the error "Error processing dependencies. You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression." about plexbackup HOT 6 CLOSED

That's solved it. Thanks so much for your help and for the script!

Since you are are getting an error from PlexBackup.ps1, there is no question whether it exists in the current directory. The error comes from this block:

    try {
        $psVersion = GetPowerShellversion
        Write-Verbose "Microsoft PowerShell v$psVersion"

        # Add custom folder(s) to the module path.
        SetModulePath

        # Load module dependencies.
        LoadModules $MODULES
    }
    catch {
        throw (New-Object System.Exception( `
            "Error processing dependencies.", $_.Exception))
    }

I would try running it with the -Debug -Verbose flags to see if there is mor info. The output should tell you in what method the error occurs. If this does not help, I would run it in the debugger to see what is going on.

That gets me the following.

PS C:\PlexBackup-master> .\PlexBackup.ps1 -Debug -Verbose -Inactive
VERBOSE: Entered Main.
VERBOSE: Entered GetPowerShellVersion.
VERBOSE: Exiting GetScriptVersion.
Error processing dependencies. You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.
VERBOSE: SingleInstance module is not loaded.
VERBOSE: Entered StopLogging.
VERBOSE: Logging has not started, so nothing to uninitialize.
VERBOSE: Exiting StopLogging.
VERBOSE: Exiting Main.

So I guess something is wrong with ScriptVersion?

What do you get if you enter this in PowerShell prompt:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

from plexbackup.

PS C:\PlexBackup-master> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major Minor Patch PreReleaseLabel BuildLabel

7 3 6

Sorry, I'm not sure how to get that to format correctly.
Major 7
Minor 3
Patch 6

Ah. It looks like they changed it in PowerShell 7. In PowerShell 5, I get

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
5      1      22621  1778

So, for now, I would try running it from an earlier version of PowerShell because I have not tested it in PowerShell 7 (I think PowerShell 7 has its own environment, but it does not remove older versions). I will try to port it to PowerShell 7, but can't promise when. Let me know if it fixes the issue.
