Automation

Hi all,

I'm new to vscode (heard about it yesterday in fact) and am having a configuration issue. I have successfully installed vs code, and I was able to add the powershell extenison to it. I als added LucD's Microsoft.VSCode_Profile.ps1 to the install which I found on his blog here: http://www.lucd.info/2016/04/23/visual-studio-code-powercli/

When I ran and install-module command to connect powercli It looked successful but when I open a ps1 file I see this error:

PowerShell Integrated Console

Can not find a PowerCLI installation!

At \\fs-55-ah\vmgr$\home05\dscotti\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.VSCode_profile.ps1:78 char:13

+             Throw 'Can not find a PowerCLI installation!'

+             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : OperationStopped: (Can not find a PowerCLI installation!:String) [], RuntimeException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Can not find a PowerCLI installation!

Also Seeing this error:

cd : Cannot find path 'Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::' because it does not exist.

At C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1:134 char:1

+ ~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem:::String) [Set-Location], ItemNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetLocationCommand

I am running this version of powershell:

 $psversiontable.psversion

Major  Minor  Build  Revision

-----  -----  -----  --------

5      1      17134  228

This is my version of powercli:

PowerCLI Version

----------------

   VMware PowerCLI 11.0.0 build 10380590

---------------

Component Versions

---------------

   VMware Cis Core PowerCLI Component PowerCLI Component 11.0 build 10335701

   VMware VimAutomation VICore Commands PowerCLI Component PowerCLI Component 11.0 build 10336080

An interesting side note is that the commands I run (like connect-viserver) can tab complete. so that tellse me something is finding powercli.

Has anyone seen this before? And how do I clear the error? 

Thanks 

Dan

That profile you installed from my blog is not usable for for newer VSC versions I'm afraid.

And yes, I have to update that post.

Just remove the file “%UserProfile%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.VSCode_profile.ps1“ and all should be ok.
