BROKEN - with -Name also present, the -Path argument is\r\n# !! interpreted as a *wildcard expression*\r\nNew-Item -Force -Path '[test]' -Name 'test.txt'\r\n```\r\n\r\nWith `-Name` also present, `-Path` is unexpectedly treated _as a wildcard expression_.\r\n\r\n### Expected behavior\r\n\r\nBoth commands should (re)create a subdirectory `[test]` with a file `test.txt` in it, and report a `FileInfo` instance for the latter; e.g.:\r\n\r\n```console\r\n\r\n    Directory: /Users/jdoe/[test]\r\n\r\nUnixMode   User             Group                 LastWriteTime           Size Name\r\n--------   ----             -----                 -------------           ---- ----\r\n-rw-r--r-- jdoe             staff                4/4/2022 17:08              0 test.txt\r\n\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Actual behavior\r\n\r\nThe second command is situationally either a quiet no-op, or fails when wildcard pattern `[test]` matches an _existing file_ named `t` or `e` or ... or inappropriately targets an _existing directory_ named `t` or `e` ...\r\n\r\n### Error details\r\n\r\n_No response_\r\n\r\n### Environment data\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\nPowerShell Core 7.3.0-preview.3\r\n```\r\n\r\n\r\n### Visuals\r\n\r\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mklement0","@type":"Person","name":"mklement0"},"datePublished":"2022-04-04T21:08:03.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/17106/PowerShell/issues/17106"}
