VS Code and PowerCLI

Hello, I haven't found much on integrating PowerCLI and VS Code except for this article from Luc Dekens:

Visual Studio Code and PowerCLI - LucD notes  

could anyone confirm it's still up to date? Having used ISE for long and I am struggling to adjust to this new tool. I have installed PS 6 and PowerCLI 10. Many thanks

The features I describe in that post are still valid, but there have been of course of lot of new features added.


There are a couple of components you should consider:

  • the Visual Studio Code (VSC) editor, which is an advanced editor. There are many extensions available for the VSC, ranging from specific language support to git support
  • the PowerShell extension, which provides PowerShell support in the VSC
  • VSC features like snippets, editor services.... These are nice to have, and even create yourself, but for a migration of ISE to VSC, bulet 1 and 2 are the important ones imho
