The dnx.ps1 shim script is no longer included in the .NET SDK.
Version introduced
.NET 10 GA
Previous behavior
Since .NET 10 Preview 7, on Windows versions of the .NET SDK, a dnx.ps1 script was included in the dotnet root folder, alongside dotnet.exe and dnx.cmd.
New behavior
The dnx.ps1 script is no longer included. The dnx.cmd script remains available for executing tools.
Type of breaking change
This change can affect source compatibility.
Reason for change
The dnx.ps1 script was added to avoid an extra Terminate Batch Job prompt when cancelling tools run via dnx with Ctrl+C. However, PowerShell has special handling for --, so if -- was passed on the command line, it never made it through to dnx. This meant that in PowerShell, it was impossible to pass options to a tool using dnx if dnx itself has the same option. For example, dnx dotnet-serve -- --help showed the help for dnx instead of the help for dotnet-serve.
Recommended action
In most cases, the dnx.cmd script is used instead so no action is necessary. If you were calling dnx.ps1 directly, switch to dnx.cmd.
Affected APIs
None.
