Chef powershell_script issue

Hi all,
i am using below powershell script to replace node name in bunch of files.

$path = "E:\Automation_DevOps"
$pattern = "NODE \"
$new_hostname = "$env:computername"

$files = (Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Filter "*.pcmd").fullname
foreach ($file in $files) {
echo $file
#$string = (Get-Content $file | Select-String -AllMatches $change_from)[0]
$old_hostname = (Get-Content $file | Select-String -Pattern $pattern | select -ExpandProperty line).Split("")[1]
Write-Host "old_hostname $old_hostname"
Write-Host "new_hostname $new_hostname"
(Get-Content $file).replace($old_hostname,$new_hostname) | Set-Content $file
}

if i run powershell script it works well but when i use same code in powershell_script resource in chef it throws below error

Error executing action run on resource 'powershell_script[Update Configuration]'

Mixlib::ShellOut::ShellCommandFailed

When using EOH it’s like using double quotes, try adding \ in the path.

$path = “E:\Automatuon_DevOps”

Sorry don’t know why it didn’t show up

$path = “E:\\Automations_DevOps”
