Including custom library (like Globals.ps1)

Post by CEMEDIC »

I've created a new project (not a forms project) and I'm packaging that project as a console application.

I have a file with all my cmdlets that I use throughout the script that is separate from my main application file. I'm not sure how PowerShell Studio 2012 packages everything together, do I need to dot source the library file? If so, what's the directory? Is there some option I need to select when packaging?

When I run the application once it's been bundled off to an .exe file, I call the executable, which has a call to a cmdlet named "test" in my library file. This is the output I get when I run the executable that PowerShell Studio creates:

Code: Select all

Depends on how you use the ps1 files. If you need to execute the script file you need to use the Call-<filename> method. If the file only contains function definitions, then set the Project File's "Command Extension" property to "True" and the functions should appear in your PrimalSense. To set the property, select the file in the Project Panel and use the Property Panel to change the property. Depending on the setting, PrimalForms will wrap your file into a function or just include it as is.David
