Chef doesn't call the second line of the PS script - powershell

Question

I'm using Chef Kitchen to do a POC. We have a PowerShell script which goes to a network path, sorts the build based on date [Install shield installer], copies to the VM in a folder.
This script works correctly when I run inside the VM manually using Power Shell. When I run using Chef Kitchen I don't get any error, the recipe is run but only the first line.I can see the folder called Build created in the VM.
I did an experiment and added a second line to create another folder, it worked correctly. So the issue is the logic I used to copy and paste the build doesn't seem to work with Chef.
The first line creates a new folder, the second and third sets the source and destination path. The fourth line copies the build from the network path [Sort by date to get the latest] to the VM. And the last one is to rename.
And also is there an efficient way to copy a file from a network path [Sorting by date] to a VM using Chef?
powershell_script 'CopyBuild' do
code <<-EOH
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\Build
$source = gci \\BuildPath\Build | ? { $_.PSIsContainer } | sort CreationTime -Desc | select -f 1
$destination = "C:\Build"
Copy-Item "\\BuildPath\Build\$source\*" $destination
Get-ChildItem $destination -r -i "*app1*.exe" | Rename-Item -NewName {"Test.exe"}
EOH
end
I also tried this, calling the PS script:
cookbook_file 'getbuild.ps1' do
mode '0755'
end

This looks like a windows remoting problem, your powershell needs the right configuration to be allowed to access network shares.
To verify if this is the case: replace the UNC path and just copy a local directory - if this works you can dig further to setup the requirements for windows remoting, see the following links for further help:
Safely running windows automation operations that fail inside winrm or powershell remoting (see chapter No access to network resources)

enabling and using credssp
To sum these links up: you can schedule a local task in your PS which does the copy to achieve this, or setup credssp.
