PowerShell

Welcome to the PowerShell GitHub Community! PowerShell is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and macOS) automation and configuration tool/framework that works well with your existing tools and is optimized for dealing with structured data (e.g. JSON, CSV, XML, etc.), REST APIs, and object models. It includes a command-line shell, an associated scripting language, and a framework for processing cmdlets.

Windows PowerShell vs. PowerShell Core

Although this repository started as a fork of the Windows PowerShell codebase, changes made in this repository are not automatically ported back to Windows PowerShell 5.1. This also means that issues tracked here are only for PowerShell Core 6 and higher. Windows PowerShell specific issues should be reported with the Feedback Hub app, by choosing "Apps > PowerShell" in the category.

Upgrading PowerShell

For best results when upgrading, you should use the same install method you used when you first installed PowerShell. The update method will be different for each platform and install method. For more information, see Installing PowerShell.

Community Dashboard

Dashboard with visualizations for community contributions and project status using PowerShell, Azure, and PowerBI.

For more information on how and why we built this dashboard, check out this blog post.

Discussions

GitHub Discussions is a feature to enable free and open discussions within the community for topics that are not related to code, unlike issues.

This is an experiment we are trying in our repositories, to see if it helps move discussions out of issues so that issues remain actionable by the team or members of the community. There should be no expectation that PowerShell team members are regular participants in these discussions. Individual PowerShell team members may choose to participate in discussions, but the expectation is that community members help drive discussions so that team members can focus on issues.

Create or join a discussion.

Chat

azurepsdrive's Issues

Module gives error when creating New-PSDrive

When trying to create a new PSDrive I get an error:

New-PSDrive : The following error occurred while loading the extended type data file: Error in TypeData 
...
InvalidOperation: (:) [New-PSDrive], RuntimeException

Both depended modules are up to date:

ModuleType Version    Name              
---------- -------    ----              
Script     5.6.0      AzureRM.Profile   
Script     6.9.0      AzureRM           

Any ideas how to solve this?

Empty siteconfig property under Webapp directory

A user reported:

From Thom Schumacher
When viewing web applications in my subscription I the property for SiteConfig is empty. I would think that that would be the same value as:
Get-AzureRmWebAppSlot -name webapp -ResourceGroupName myres -slot ‘production’
In the provider my drivename is AZ.
cd az:\mysub\webapps
(gci *webapp).siteconfig
(gci *webapp).sitename — this is valid and has data

CLoudShell Version

PS Azure:\> dir env:acc_version

ACC_VERSION master_20171006.3

Modules

4.4.0 AzureRM
3.4.0 AzureRM.Profile

Why the Az.* module dependencies?

I just installed the AzurePSDrive module, and it pulled down a bunch of Az.* modules that it is dependent on: Az.Compute, Az.Profile, Az.Resources, Az.Storage. These are installed, even though I already have AzureRM.Compute, AzureRM.Profile, AzureRM.Resources, and AzureRM.Storage already installed. There is obviously some redundancy going on here. Can someone please explain why these extra modules are necessary? Is this simply to ensure that you have the right DLLs downloaded and loaded in memory so that you can reference Azure types internally in the AzurePSDrive module?

Navigation breaks if two subscriptions have the same name

We create Subscription SHiPS object using the name as the primary key. Hence this is causing issues if there are duplicate subscription names with diff SubIds.

Error message should be more helpful when you are not authenticated to Azure

This is the user experience if you want to browse Azure: drive before you authenticate to Azure:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd azure:
PS Azure:\> dir

Those error messages are not very helpful and user-friendly. It would be better to mention missing to Add-AzureRmAcoount (or its alias Login-AzureRmAccount). Even better would be to warn (to prevent a later error) a user about missing authentication when they import AzurePSDrive module or cd into Azure: drive.

Under PWSH 7.13 fails with : New-PSDrive: Assembly with same name is already loaded

Works great on PSv5 Fails on PSv7
PS C:> import-module az
PS C:> Import-Module SHiPS
PS C:> $param = @{

Name = 'Azure'
PSProvider = 'SHiPS'
Root = 'AzurePSDrive#Azure'

}
PS C:> New-PSDrive @param

Is it possible to change subscription/tenant?

I love this project and its possibilities.

I have one issue so far, on my Azure credentials I have access to multiple subscription. Is there a way to change subscription either before or after you created the PSDrive?

dir -recurse throws InvalidFilterInQueryString error

Steps to reproduce

• Open PowerShell in Cloud Shell
• cd to a resource group, e.g., Azure:<Subscription Name>\ResourceGroups<resource group name>
• Try to filter for some name recursively, e.g: dir -Filter PSCloud -Recurse

PS Azure:\<Subscription Name>\ResourceGroups\<resource group name>> dir

    Directory: Azure:\<subscription name>\ResourceGroups\<resource group name>

Mode ProviderName
---- ------------
+    Microsoft.Automation
+    Microsoft.Compute
+    Microsoft.Network
+    Microsoft.Storage

PS Azure:\<Subscription Name>\ResourceGroups\<resource group name>> dir -Filter "*PSCloud*" -Recurse

Expected behavior

no error

Actual behavior

InvalidFilterInQueryString error

dir : InvalidFilterInQueryString : Invalid $filter '(resourceType EQ 'Microsoft.Automation/automationAccounts') AND
(substringof(Name, *PSCloud*.Replace('*', '')) eq true)' specified in the query string.
