How can I get VMware PowerCLI in Sublime Text?

Hey Community Friends!

I was able to get PowerShell setup with color fonts in Sublime text but now I am trying to figure out how to get VMWare PowerClI module. Has anyone had any success with that?

Not sure what you are looking for.

PowerCLI is just a set of modules on top of PowerShell.

The same syntax colouring should apply for PowerCLI.

Thanks LucD

When I type PowerShell commands the auto complete shows all options but when I type a PowerCLI command I don't get the same auto complete. For example if I Type Connect-Vi it does not auto complete like with PowerShell. I was wondering how I would import PowerCli module into Sublime Text.

Afaik there is no actual PowerCLI package for auto-completion for Sublime at the moment.

If you want tab completion for all cmdlets in all PowerShell modules, including PowerCLI, you should have a look at VSCode.
PS: that is just a suggestion, I don't want to start a tribal war on Sublime vs VSCode :smileygrin:

LucD​ Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check out VSCode. Thinking about it, since I am a noob at PowerShell and PowerCLI I should probably not take short cuts and practice typing out full commands :smileylaugh:
