VSCode PowerShell extensionHowever, to get a similar convenient feature in PowerShell ISE, you need to install the. When you first save a file with the suffix.ps1, VSCode will recommend installing the PowerShell extension. You can then simply click the Install button.The PowerShell extension comes with its own terminal (the PowerShell Integrated Console), which you can use in addition to the shells we configured in my last post. Unfortunately, the PowerShell Integrated Console does not support syntax highlighting like the other shells we've used before.You can run selected code in the editor by pressing F8. If you want to execute a particular line, you only have to move the cursor to that position.
This is useful, but better ways exist to run code snippets in VSCode which I will cover below. PowerShell features in VSCode Running selected code from the editorThe main reason I like to use a scripting environment as a console is you can type your command in the editor and run it from there. This is useful if you run the same or a similar command many times a day or if you are unsure about the correct syntax and have to edit your command several times until it finally works. Sometimes I have multiple versions of the command in the editor and just have to select the one that fits best for the current task. You can also write a quick little script if a one-liner is not going to do the job.Above, I mentioned that the PowerShell extension allows you to execute code from the editor by pressing F8.
If you want to execute an entire script, you first have to select the complete code, which is not what we know from ISE. Moreover, the PowerShell extension always executes code in its own terminal, which does not support syntax highlighting, and it uses Windows PowerShell 5.1 instead of PowerShell Core 6.0.Unfortunately, the built-in way to run code from the VSCode editor is also a bit longwinded. But no worries—we will fix that in a moment. Let's see first how the code-execution feature built into VSCode works.Open a new file first (CTRL+N), and save it (CTRL+S).
It is important you've added the extension.ps1 because otherwise VSCode won't recognize that your code is PowerShell. Once you've saved the file, syntax highlighting will work.Now select one of the PowerShell terminals and then mark the code you want to execute in the editor. Next, press Ctrl+Shift+P and type 'run sel.' Then chose Terminal: Run Selected Text In Active Terminal. Installing Code Runner for VSCodeBefore I explain how to use Code Runner, we have to change its configuration a little. By default, Code Runner will execute code in the Output tab.
This is not good if you want to run an interactive script or if you want to continue working in the console after you've launched the command.To tell Code Runner to run code in the Terminal, you have to add the line below to your VSCode settings. Make sure you separate all your settings with commas as shown in the screenshot below. Configuring Code Runner to execute in the TerminalCode Runner offers several ways to run code from the editor.
Installing Cygwin. Do the same for the other two packages, git and openssh. After you finish, you should get a Cygwin shortcut at your desktop, like this: Through this terminal, you’ll be running your Python code, in addition to accessing the packages installed above. If you double click the icon shortcut.
As in PowerShell ISE, you can execute the entire script by simply clicking the Run Code icon or pressing CTRL+ALT+N. Note that Code Runner will run the version of the script you've last saved and not the current code in the editor window. Also note that Code Runner uses its own terminal and not the one you opened before.If you only want to run selected code, you can right-click and click Run Code in the context menu, or you can press CTRL+ALT+N after you select the code.
To stop running the code, you can press CTRL+ALT+M.Code Runner offers a variety of settings I don't cover in this blog post. You can find them all in the package.json file in '$env:UserProfile.vscodeextensionsformulahendry.code-runner-0.8.7' on a Windows machine.
On Linux and macOS, you can find the extensions under /.vscode/extensions. To change one of these settings, you don't have edit package.json. Just copy the settings to your VSCode user settings and change the configuration there. Executing code in VSCode with Code Runner ConclusionThe downside of Code Runner is that it can only execute commands in its own terminal. Thus, you have to decide if you want to work with Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core.

The PowerShell extension has the same restrictions and its console does not offer syntax highlighting. The built-in code execution feature of VSCode has the advantage that it executes the code in the active terminal, but you always have to first select the code.That is why I usually work with Code Runner and only use the built-in feature if I have to execute code in a shell other than my default shell. Of course, this doesn't mean that you don't need the PowerShell extension. Its features are very useful in the editor.Even though I've only scratched the surface of VSCode in my two articles, I think you've noticed that this scripting environment is much more powerful than PowerShell ISE. Thus, I hope I've convinced you to move on and leave ISE behind.
I also encourage you to work with PowerShell Core 6 instead of Windows PowerShell. Visual Studio Code is the perfect environment to run both PowerShell versions side by side for a while. I am having all of the trouble described by many of you here. Because I had asked for my account to be closed about 10 days ago but then remembered the hurdles I'd have to go through trying to update everyone/organisations/etc without it there to do that, before closing it down afterwards. I know my email and password and they know I know it. Spent over 10 mins twice this evening on the phone.
This is September 2019 and I hate to say it sounds like I received the EXACT SAME TREATMENT tonight that you all did: reading from a script it seemed they could not fully understand themselves. I tried many logical questions to them and got NOT ONE ANSWER from anyone I spoke to on the phone or online chat either!
All of them just refer you in the end to the insanity that is their 'recovery form', which as others noted, includes things they know fine well most people have little/no chance of remembering (exact details of contacts AND subject lines of messages. Shocking for me as I'd thought maybe having been with them for the best part of 2 decades might count for something - WRONG! As another said, they JUST DON'T CARE. Conclusion: I finally completely understand why people would abandon Microsoft altogether in favour of Apple products/services or other alternative options. There is poor service - then there is MS 'support'.:'-( was literally in tears at one point.
We have been using TS to upgrade from windows 10 version 1803, and 1809 to 1903. Approximately 50% of the upgrades work flawlessly. The other 50% perform the upgrade, but after the upgrade has finished, the sms agent service is left as disabled. After enabling the service, I usually have to run a PS cmd to reset the WMI, and the TS for the upgrade shows up in software center, and the notifications as if it's running again (appears to be stuck in a loop). When this happens i run ccm setup.exe /Uninstall, and reinstall via cmd line.
