[kevin-tong-msft]

I have the same issue.

[kevin-tong-msft]

According to dahlbyk/posh-git#588, DefaultPromptPath.ForegroundColor only works on posh-git v1.0.0-beta2.
Running Update-Module posh-git -RequiredVersion 1.0.0-beta2 -AllowPrerelease works for me.

[leo-jansen]

eu estava com o mesmo problema, aconteceu pq não estava com posh-git, consegui instalar o posh-git seguindo a documentação no site do git, é só seguir o passo-passo.
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Appendix-A:-Git-in-Other-Environments-Git-in-PowerShell

[gawronix]

Now i get smth like this.... before you say, i get the same result in normal powershell window...

[waf]

Hi @gawronix, can you please paste the output of the following two commands?

• (get-module posh-git).Version
• (get-module psreadline).Version

Thanks!

An update for those experiencing problems
Update-Module posh-git -RequiredVersion 1.0.0-beta4 -AllowPrerelease -Force

Problem

I encountered the same problem as well as an error saying i didn't have -AllowPrerelease. I tried to update both PSReadLine and PowerShellGet as said in the guide but that didn't work...

Solution

Turns out i had different versions running of both, so the PowerShell didn't know which to pick and insisted on using the 1.0 version.

In order to fix that i had to remove the old versions as said in this guide. After that and restarting all is working.

---

Edit

After running the operations described in the guide i linked before i was in a situation where typing Get-Module PowerShellGet would return nothing (so i couldn't check the version) but using Get-Module powershellget -ListAvailable i would find the correct module.

Solution

To fix that i had to run Update-Module -Name PowerShellGet so that the version would stay unchanged since it was already updated but the module would be returned from the Get-Module call. You can see by yourself in the next screenshot the situation before the fix (red border) and the situation after the fix (green border)

If the Update-Module call fails, you have to loosen the Execution Policies by sending Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted. Now it should work fine. If you do so MAKE SURE TO REVERT TO HOW IT WAS BEFORE by sending Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Default after the Update-Module command has completed successfully!!

Final result

Now it works everything and when i start the Powershell i don't see The property 'xxxxx' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set errors :)

Hope i can be helpful to someone ^^

I've reworked the install instructions, and added a link to @LukeSavefrogs's troubleshooting steps and information. Thanks for putting it together!
