Get-ChildItem -Recurse doesn't work on the OneDrive sync folder #9461
Description
Steps to reproduce
Get-ChildItem -Recurse $env:OneDrive
with PowerShell Core 6.2.0 outputs the same results as:
Get-ChildItem $env:OneDrive
In other words, the subfolders are not recursed into.
This can be verified easily with:
PS C:/Users/steph> (Get-ChildItem $env:OneDrive).Count
174
PS C:/Users/steph> (Get-ChildItem -Recurse $env:OneDrive).Count
174
This works properly with Windows PowerShell 5.1:
PS C:/Users/steph> (Get-ChildItem $env:OneDrive).Count
174
PS C:/Users/steph> (Get-ChildItem -Recurse $env:OneDrive).Count
158122
Expected behavior
Get-ChildItem -Recurse $env:OneDrive
should enumerate all files and folders in the OneDrive sync tree.
Actual behavior
Get-ChildItem -Recurse $env:OneDrive
enumerates only the files and folders at the root of the OneDrive sync tree.
