Steps to Reproduce
I created a new sentry project. I am trying to send a test event to it with a simple "test" | Out-Sentry and it appears to work but I never get anything in Sentry. Starting Sentry in -Debug I see the following error:
WARNING: [Sentry] Failed to create a PowerShell-specific synchronous transport
ErrorRecord : The property 'ProcessEnvelope' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
WasThrownFromThrowStatement : False
