Executing gcloud command on PowerShell may fail in Windows

[nobuoka]

I use PowerShell 7.3.0 in Windows 11. I installed the Google Cloud CLI following the steps in https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install,

After that, a following error occurred when I executed gcloud command.

PS > gcloud -v
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in ''

The gcloud.cmd is successful, but the gcloud.ps1 is not.

PS > gcloud.cmd -v
Google Cloud SDK 410.0.0
bq 2.0.81
core 2022.11.11
gcloud-crc32c 1.0.0
gsutil 5.16

PS > gcloud.ps1 -v
C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\bundledpython\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in '

As a result of investigation, I found that an error occurred at "& "$cloudsdk_python" $run_args_array" in Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\bin\gcloud.ps1. In my environment, the array $run_args_array contains an empty string, which seems to be interpreted as a Python execution target file and an error occurs.

After making the following changes, the error no longer occurs.

 if ($MyInvocation.ExpectingInput) {
   $input | & "$cloudsdk_python" $run_args_array

How can I feed this information back to the Google Cloud CLI development team?
