      The following script fails when run in Jenkins:

      node("windows") {
  powershell('''\
    function Invoke-NativeCommand {
      # Do something useful here
    }

    function New-GitInvoker([string]$Path) {
      return {
        Invoke-NativeCommand git `-C $Path @args
      }.GetNewClosure()
    }
		
    $git = New-GitInvoker 'testRepoPath'
    & $git fetch `-p ssh://someUrl
    '''.stripIndent()
  )
}

      The error is:

      powershell.exe : Invoke-NativeCommand : The term 'Invoke-NativeCommand' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script

      When run directly using PowerShell, the same script runs to completion without error.  Perhaps the wrapper messes up closures?

      A workaround exists - simply write the powershell script to a file and run it directly using powershell in the "bat" pipeline command:

      bat 'powershell -NoProfile -File myscript.ps1'
