Constrained Language Mode (CLM) Analyzer

A module to use script analyzer to find potential issues with running your scripts in CLM

Support

This is an experiment and I'm looking for feedback about the idea. Issues are welcome, but there currently is no support for this module. It is MIT licensed and provided as-is.

Installation - Automated

If you plan to use this for PowerShell 5.1 and 7, you may need to install the module for both versions.

Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TravisEz13/ConstrainedLanguageModeAnalyzer/main/tools/installFromGithub.ps1 -outfile ./installFromGitHub.ps1
./installFromGithub.ps1 -Verbose

Usage

To analyze files

Invoke-ClmAnalyzer -Path "$PSScriptRoot\testFiles\*"

To analyze a script definition

Invoke-ClmAnalyzer -ScriptDefinition '. test.ps1'

Installation - Manual

Install version 1.21 or newer of PSScriptAnalyzer.
