Running powershell scripts

How To
1

Is there a template for PowerShell and if so does komodo support it? Meaning if I write a script the color coding and error management is there.

Hi @tdadmin,

You can actually add this support through Projects > New From Template > Komodo Language. You should be able to get most of what you’re looking for through that tool.

Let us know if you need more help with that.

Do you mean “Projects > New From Template > Create Komodo Language”? If so it just opens up a path and gives me the name “MyProject.komodoproject” as a name. See path below.

“C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\9.3\samples\python_tutorials”

Yep, that’s the one. Create the project file in a location that makes sense for you then continue through the process.

ok I may not be understanding how this works. I cant seem to make this work. I don’t see the template once I create to write a powershell script in komodo.

I don’t think a template file is added but now that you mention it, it’s odd that there isn’t an option for that when you step through the language Wizard. I created an enhancement request, thanks for the idea: https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/issues/1186

For now you’ll need to simple save a new File Template: File > Save As Other > Template… You can choose *.ps1 as the file extension in the save as window.

Yeah it doesn’t recognize PowerShell at all. No color coding or anything. which I think it is funny since PowerShell it is one of the languages that is in the IDE. I don’t know if I am doing something wrong or what lol.

If I haven’t given you enough information yet then I don’t really know what you’re asking for @tdadmin. Please give specific details of what you want.
