We are excited to announce the PowerShell Preview extension in the VSCode marketplace! The PowerShell Preview extension allows users on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell Core 6 to get and test the latest updates to the PowerShell extension and comes with some exciting features.
The PowerShell Preview extension is a substitute for the PowerShell extension so both the PowerShell extension and the PowerShell Preview extension should not be enabled at the same time.
By having a preview channel, in addition to our existing stable channel, we can get new features out faster and get feedback faster from you, the users.
If you dont already have VSCode, start here.
Once you have VSCode open, click Clt+Shift+X to open the extensions marketplace.
Next, type PowerShell Preview in the search bar.
Click Install on the PowerShell Preview page.
Finally, click Reload in order to refresh VSCode.
If you already have the PowerShell extension, please disable it to use the Powershell Preview extension.
To disable the PowerShell extension, find it in the Extensions sidebar view, specifically under the list of Enabled extensions,
Right-click on the PowerShell extension and select Disable.
Please note that it is important to only have either the PowerShell extension or the PowerShell Preview extension enabled at one time.
The v2.0.0-preview.1 version of the extension is built on .NET Standard (enabling support for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core from one assembly)
It also contains PSReadLine support in the integrated console for Windows behind a feature flag. PSReadLine provides a consistent and rich interactive experience, including syntax coloring and multi-line editing and history, in the PowerShell console, in Cloud Shell, and now in VSCode terminal. For more information on the benefits of PSReadLine, check out their documentation.
HUGE thanks to @SeeminglyScience for all his amazing work getting PSReadLine working in PowerShell Editor Services!
As stated above, this version of the PowerShell extension only works with Windows PowerShell versions 5.1 and PowerShell Core 6.
