When powershell class method has same name as property, the property disapear and is not accessible from any instance #7736
Description
Hi,
When I have a powershell class, that has a method with the same name as one of it's properties, then the property disapear, and is not visible on any of the instances.
See examples below.
Steps to reproduce
Class Folder {
$Name
$Path
[bool]$IsPresent
[string]IsPresent(){
return "woop"
}
}
When looking using Get-Member, we can see that the property $IsPresent disapeared, but that method is still there:
[Folder]::New() | gm
TypeName: Folder
Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
IsPresent Method string IsPresent()
ToString Method string ToString()
Name Property System.Object Name {get;set;}
Path Property System.Object Path {get;set;Expected behavior
[Folder]::New()
#Should return
Name Path IsPresent
---- ---- ---------
False
Actual behavior
[Folder]::New()
#Returns
Name Path
---- ----
Environment data
I had the same behaviour on:

Workaround
The workaround would be to change the name of the method and ensure it is not identical to the property anymore:
Class Folder {
$Name
$Path
[bool]$IsPresent
[string]TestIsPresent(){
return "woop"
}
}
