powershellmodules's Issues

Don't require each individual certificate to be trusted

Ideally, we'd create a single trusted root the first time it's run and then generate certificates from that later on.

In the meantime, can we generate a single certificate for all bindings?

Recycle - Add option to auto-confirm the Recycle Bin dialog

It would be nice if the script had a switch to avoid popping up that dialog going Are you sure you want to move example-file to Recycle Bin?

Remove-ItemSafely on some computers asks confirmation

Hi,

I have a question regarding 'recycle' 1.5.0.
In this version I noticed that my script does not give me a 'are you sure to send to recycle bin' dialog, but my colleague does.
I do not use the '-conform' option, but still my colleague gets a dialog.

Why is this happening in 1.5.0?

Fail fast if there are problems creating a DNN site

If there are failures, it just continues and fails the subsequent steps.

DnnWebsiteManagement: Pull install packages from CI server

@ohine suggested that a switch be added which would get the latest development build of DNN

Perhaps starting with an API request like https://dotnet.visualstudio.com/DNN/_apis/build/builds?api-version=4.1&repositoryId=dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform&repositoryType=GitHub&branchName=refs%2Fheads%2Fdevelopment&resultFilter=succeeded to find the build artifacts

does not remove dir/files if name has [] or ()

Hello @bdukes
I encountered a problem, where the directory containing [ ] did not get removed, also it gave no error message. (i.e. D:\test[1])
When trying to remove files in the given folder, also nothing happens, and no errors.

However, if the name contains ( ) that gives out an error:
;D:>powershell "Remove-ItemSafely D:\test(1)"
;Remove-ItemSafely` : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '1'.
;At line:1 char:1
;+ Remove-ItemSafely D:\test(1)
;+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
; + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Remove-ItemSafely], ParameterBindingException
; + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Remove-ItemSafely

I have tried containing the argument in different ways with either ' or " but nothing seems to work...

Hope there is a workaround for this issue :)

Recycle - Force option shouldn't delete permanently

Remove-ItemSafely -Force becomes a misnomer if the -Force switch makes the command unsafe (delete permanently, without a confirmation prompt). For deleting permanently users ought to use Remove-Item.

Maybe a change of name of the cmdlet?

Remove-ItemSafely -LiteralPath does not work w/ special characters (brackets, backticks,...)

This is the issue to my Pull request #1 .

Hello! Thanks for your effort with these nice modules. However, I encountered an error:

    $foo = @(Get-ChildItem -File | Select-Object -ExpandProperty FullName)
    $foo | ForEach-Object {
        Remove-ItemSafely -LiteralPath $_
    }

Does not work if files have backticks, brackets, or spaces in their name:

> Get-Item : Cannot find path
> At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Recycle\1.0.2\Recycle.psm1:93 char:13
> +    $item = Get-Item $Path

DNN website restore from folder doesn't work correctly with trailing slash

When sending -SiteZipPath a folder path with a trailing slash, all of the files end up in the root with Website prepended to the file name according to @DanielBolef

DNN website restore doesn't handle file paths with special characters

The copy routine probably needs to use -LiteralPath instead of -Path

Remove-ItemSafely halts and asks if you want to permanently delete a file if you're holding shift

I ran a powershell command in a terminal that looped over many files, processing each to create a new file and then deleting the original file with Remove-ItemSafely. I minimized the terminal and did other things while the command ran. I noticed multiple times that if I happened to be holding shift while the Remove-ItemSafely call happened, the command would halt there and Windows would pop open a modal asking if I wanted to instead permanently delete the file. This would either interrupt my typing, or sometimes the modal would appear in the background and I wouldn't notice it until later, leaving my script halted until I addressed the modal.

use in pipe

I use

get-childitem | where-object { $_.Name -match 'myregex' } | remove-item

to delete files, so I installed the Recycle module hoping I could just replace remove-item with Remove-ItemSafely

but I got the following error:

Get-Item : Impossibile associare l'argomento al parametro 'Path' perché è null.
In C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Recycle\1.2.0\Recycle.psm1:59 car:47
+ ...                 $items = @(Get-Item -Path:$PSBoundParameters['Path'])
+                                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Get-Item], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand

Is it an issue or simply I cannot use Remove-ItemSafely in a pipe?

Somehow allow site-specific restore scripts to run for individualized cleanup

Not sure where these scripts could live.

One option would be to register them in your profile, associating them with old domains.
Another option is to add an option to specify a Git repo URL, and restore that first, and then look in a well-known location for the restore script.

Allow specifying database name when restoring site

There are scenarios where a specific database name may be desired. Add a flag to allow overriding the default.

/cc @DanielBolef

Restore-DNNSite should accept a zipped database backup

What if we didn't have to unzip it ourselves?

Recycle hidden files

Looks like I can't add -Force flag to the Remove-ItemSafely to move hidden files to recycle bin like Get-ChildItem 'somewere' -Force | Remove-ItemSafely -Force.
Without it, on hidden files, I get messages that the item was not found.

get-item : Can't find item C:\Users\root\ (1).bash_profile.
Line:1 char:1
+ get-item 'C:\Users\root\ (1).bash_profile'
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Users\root\ (1).bash_profile:String) [Get-Item], IOException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ItemNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetItemCommand

Restore-DNNSite should take a map of aliases to rename

When restoring a site with multiple domains, it would be nice to be able to specify custom domains.

Or, alternatively, optionally prompt for names for the aliases.

Making -caption parameter non-mandatory in Read-Choice

For me personally, it would be enough to have one message/caption parameter, however since caption is a mandatory parameter, you cannot use an empty string. or omit it

Removing the mandatory aspect would help when using named parameters, however you would still have to supply an empty string when using positional parameters.

The solution for that would be to move the caption parameter to the end (or at least after the message parameter), however this would break backwards compatibility.

Recycle on Linux

Just wondering, as their aren't any documented restrictions on the operating system for the use of Recyle. Does the use of New-Object -ComObject "Shell.Application" introduce a dependency on Microsoft Windows?

Support zips that include development files in Restore-DNNSite

When restoring the site zip, if it contains a single directory, we assume that directory includes the DNN site. Otherwise, we assume that the contents of the zip are the site contents. In cases where there are development files (e.g. .git, .gitignore, package.json, etc.), it would be great if we can handle this scenario, and fail fast if we can't handle it.

Update Fattmerchant references to Stax

DNN-Restore prints this error because it is looking for SQL columns that have been renamed:

Invoke-Sqlcmd : Invalid column name 'MerchantRegistrationStatusId'.
Invalid column name 'FattmerchantMerchantId'.
Invalid column name 'FattmerchantApiKey'.
Invalid column name 'FattmerchantPaymentsToken'.
 Msg 207, Level 16, State 1, Procedure , Line 1.

Need to target the new column names.
