Visual Studio 2019 Developer PowerShell v16.9.4 not working
I have an issue or question with regards to Visual Studio 2019 Developer PowerShell v16.9.4.
I have Visual Studio Professional 2019, Version 16.9.4.
When I right click on my Solution and select Open in Terminal then Visual Studio 2019 Developer PowerShell v16.9.4 opens... but it doesn't allow me to put/execute any command son it. My impression is that it's not fully loaded or something...
By contrast if I open Visual Studio 2019 Developer Command Prompt as you can see from the image bellow:
v16.9.4 I'm able to execute commands on it.
And this is what happens with the PowerShell
Note: I know there's the settings options but I haven't modified anything yet there.
Am I missing somthing or someone else could point me in the right direction to make it work?
I have solved or found a workaround. In my initial post, I did mention that I knew that there was a settings option but I haven't done anything there ... yet.
Finally, I solved going in that direction. So, just in case someone else faces the same or similar situation.
My built-in Developer PowerShell (inside Visual studio) is configured as follows:
shell location: C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
Arguments: -NoExit -Command "& { Import-Module $env:VSAPPIDDIR\..\Tools\Microsoft.VisualStudio.DevShell.dll}; Enter-VsDevShell -SkipAutomaticLocation -SetDefaultWindowTitle -InstallPath $env:VSAPPIDDIR\..\..\
So, I created a new Developer PowerShell settings called: "Sebas PowerShell" (quite original 🤣) and with the following settings (fewer arguments):
shell location: same location pointing to powershell.exe
Arguments: -NoExit
Like this, it works perfectly fine. So, I guess it might be related to DevShell.dll or to the other arguments. In any case, now I can use the Developer PowerShell inside Visual Studio 😀
