The default shell for Windows (Powershell) does not show the stderr/stdout on exit error

Describe the bug For example, this build my which used the default shell for windows (powershell), did not showed the stdout or stderr of the error. It just says the command exited with some error code. Doing so, you have no ideia from which line the error comes from or what was happening: https://github.com/evandroforks/anki/runs/522520124?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:10

This problem does not happens if I change the shell to cmd: https://github.com/evandroforks/anki/runs/522428852?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:26

It’s something to do with the new error view in PowerShell 7. Try adding $ErrorView = "NormalView" at the top of the script

That did it for me! Thanks! 😄

As per the MS docs, $ErrorView is now defaulted to ConciseView. As @hbuckle suggested, I simply added:

$ErrorView = 'NormalView'

And now get the more detailed output I’d expected.
