Can't run PowerShell script in Azure DevOps Pipeline 'parse error' - azure

Question

So, I'm new to Azure Devops (but not Azure or PowerShell). I've got two scripts as tasks in my pipeline, the first runs perfectly (Note: no az module commands). The second one fails (It has one Az call). The error I get in the pipeline is:
ParserError: /home/vsts/work/_temp/3f7b3ce1-6afb-46f3-b00d-1efe35fbac71.ps1:5
Line |
5 | } else {
| ~
| Unexpected token '}' in expression or statement.
Here is the thing... I don't have '} else {' in my script or at least, I removed it and got the same error.
So whatever is causing this is more fundamental than my script. I assumed that '/home/vsts/work/_temp/3f7b3ce1-6afb-46f3-b00d-1efe35fbac71.ps1' was my script copied to the remote syste, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Is there any way, I can find out what that file is?
The task is 'PowerShell#2' with 'pwsh: true' set.
Thanks!

I found there is an extra ' in -PipId '$(gwpipId)'' in the script of your second powershell task. Maybe it caused the error.
script: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Set-AzWebAppIPRestriction.ps1 -Priority 100 -Action 'Allow' -WebAppId '$(WebAppId)' -PipId '$(gwpipId)'' -ErrorAction Stop
Since you were running your scripts in .ps1 file. You should change the targetType parameter of powershell task to filePath. And set .ps1 file in the filePath parameter. See below example:
steps:
- task: PowerShell#2
displayName: 'PowerShell Script'
inputs:
targetType: filePath
filePath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Set-AzWebAppIPRestriction.ps1'
arguments: '-Priority 100 -Action "Allow" -WebAppId "$(WebAppId)" -PipId "$(gwpipId)" -ErrorAction Stop'
pwsh: true
If you are using azure powershell module in your scripts. You can use Azure powershell task instead of powershell task..
