Azure-docs: How do you execute ps1 files once they are edited in editor?

[artisticcheese]

Since all migrated to .NET core and runs on UNIX, I'm confused how do you execute ps1 files which you edited in editor?

@artisticcheese are you using the PowerShell Cloud Shell for this? The editor flow is similar to a text editor like nano/vim, once your script is saved and ready to be executed run the regular execution cmd in the terminal like .myscript.ps1 for example.

[artisticcheese]

Yes, trying to do it in Powershell Cloud Shell. Since it's hosted in Linux it does not work as simple as .\myscript.ps1

[maertendMSFT]

@artisticcheese, I do not see a similar experience. Are you sure you are in the same directory as myscript.ps1? If so can you provide a screenshot?

[maertendMSFT]

Ah, I see the issue. Since the Azure: drive is not actually a file system, the written file is saved to your home directory so it is persisted. If you run cd $HOME, then you should be in the correct directory to run .\hello.ps1.

ls is no longer an alias for Get-ChildItem in PowerShell 6, as it is a built-in Linux command. We recommend using dir or Get-ChildItem as they retain the same functionality as Windows PowerShell.

@maertendMSFT thx for the insight - I can see why this would be confusing for a user, can you open a PR on this doc detailing this issue? That behavior of Azure drive isn't easily inferred.

@jluk @artisticcheese Thanks for the feedback! I have assigned the issue to the content author to evaluate and update as appropriate.

[maertendMSFT]

@Mike-Ubezzi-MSFT, can you remove @jluk and assign it to me?

can we execute PS1 file which is located in GIT directly from azure command?

[maertendMSFT]

@Ismailmgl, can you provide more details?

[Ismailmgl]

hello @maertendMSFT ,
In Azure cloud shell we have an option of executing Power Shell commands.
For example Example: New-AzureRmResourceGroupDeployment -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -TemplateFile $templateFilePath.. What I wanted to know was, what if we have all these commands in PS1 file and which is located in github. Can we directly call or give the path of ps1 file from cloud shell? " https://raw.githubusercontent.com//Deploy.ps1"

[maertendMSFT]

@Ismailmgl, there is not a way to execute a script from Github in Cloud Shell.

Git is available in Cloud Shell, so you could clone the repository and execute the script. If you are worried about having the most up-to-date version, logic could be added to your PowerShell profile to pull from the repository.
