I have a powershell script that automates the creation of an Office 365 group and configures the associated SharePoint site. The following code adds a link to the left navigation of the site.
$ctx = Get-PnPContext; $finalizeLinkAdded = $false; try { $web = $ctx.Web $navColl = $web.Navigation.QuickLaunch $ctx.Load($navColl) ; $ctx.ExecuteQuery(); $newNavNode = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation $newNavNode.Title = "Link Title" $newNavNode.Url = $linkToAdd $newNavNode.AsLastNode = $true $navColl.Add($newNavNode) | out-null; $web.Update(); $ctx.ExecuteQuery(); $finalizeLinkAdded = $true; } catch { $_ }
I have connected to the site using connect-pnponline (not shown in the snippet below). This works fine when I run the script from my console. However, this script is called using a job.
$job = Start-Job -InitializationScript { d:\powershell\assemblies.ps1} -ScriptBlock { d:\powershell\create-navigation.ps1 }
When the script is called this way, I get a weird error.
Cannot convert argument "parameters", with value: "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation", for "Add" to type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation": "Cannot convert the "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation" value of type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation" to type "Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.NavigationNodeCreationInformation"."
Am I missing something?

SolutionI ended up posting this somewhere else thinking it was deleted since I didn't see it after posting. The answer was simple
Add-PnPNavigationNode -Location "QuickLaunch" -Title "Link" -url $Linkurl
