PSake

InvokeBuild

Roadmap

Auto-generate tasks.json files from build scripts so that you can run tasks right from VSCode's UI.

Installation

Dependencies

This module depends on you having Visual Studio Code installed, and the PowerShell Preview extension for VSCode.

IMPORTANT: This will not work with the current PowerShell stable extension!

PowerShell Gallery

Install-Module BuildRunnerVSCodeTools

Then, import it in your PowerShell Integrated Console session for the CodeLens to take effect:

Import-Module BuildRunnerVSCodeTools

For best performance, add that line to your PowerShell profile, or use the built-in Add-BuildRunnerProfileScript to append it to the end of your Profile.

You should be able to click on a psakefile.ps1 or *.build.ps1 and see the CodeLens!

Build locally

1. Invoke-Build

Running locally

1. Import-Module ./path/to/BuildRunnerVSCodeTools/module/BuildRunnerVSCodeTools.psd1

You should be able to click on a psakefile.ps1 or *.build.ps1 and see the CodeLens!

NOTE: When running locally, the Add-BuildRunnerProfileScript won't use the path passed in to Import-Module
