Using Stucco to Create Your PowerShell Module Learn why Stucco is such a powerfull module template. Includes a walk through from creating a module to publishing to the PowerShell Gallery!

I see that you have also used Stucco in the past. Do you still like that tool? Are there things you don't like about it?

Also, is everything just built on top of Plaster?

What are you using for #PowerShell module scaffolding? Seems that most tools that I have found are in need of some TLC. What am I missing?

A screenshot of a Reddit post comment by /u/jsnover that says: This seems to be telling you that $PSCMdlet is null. That would happen if you are using a function vs an Advanced Function Try adding a [CmdletBinding()] directive. Jeffrey Snover [MSFT]

The internet is really great sometimes 💖 Thanks to @jsnover.com on Reddit 10 years ago, I was able to solve a #PowerShell problem while following @kevmar.bsky.social amazing article on handling errors that now lives on #MicrosoftLearn 🤯

I love newer versions of #PowerShell, but I still regularly have to support #Windows PowerShell because that's the default shell for systems like #SCCM and #Intune.

How can I take advantage of the new PowerShell other than executing scripts with pwsh.exe and the -File or -Command parameters?

I regularly use .cmd files as a simpler execution mechanism for PowerShell scripts. They simply call powershell.exe with the -File parameter (plus any other params). Many people know how to double-click a file, but don’t know how to execute a PowerShell script with & or .

Using hashtables for lookups is so useful and quick! I've made one before matching human-readable names with object IDs in Microsoft Graph

That was my guess too, but it doesn’t appear so

Does anyone know how to get the access token that's in use with the Microsoft.Graph #PowerShell module?

Agreed. “May not be set” reads as “cannot be set”

You're not alone! I've just come across this incorrect error message as well with 3.7.1 🙃

Issues with Connect-ExchangeOnline when Using $PSDefaultParameterValues Issues with Connect-ExchangeOnline when Using $PSDefaultParameterValues - PSDefaultParamsWithConnectEXO.ps1

Why do I have issues using the #Exchange Online #PowerShell module (v3.7.1) when I use a wildcard for the cmdlet within $PSDefaultParameterValues? I'm able to connect, but my permission scopes are wrong and I can only see my own mailbox.

What makes it unreliable? What is auto-splat?

Nice to see both WAM supported and native Git blame!

How things are feeling these days with #PowerShell and #MicrosoftGraph

Love the podcast!! I can see how that would get priority (especially if you’re the one managing it all). I joined the PDQ Discord, so maybe I’ll be able to join next time

I didn't realize that you can do that in PowerShell 7! I prefer this method (reminds me of KQL) and looks cleaner.

Just to confirm, in PowerShell 7+:

Get-Date
| Select-Object date
| Out-String

All versions:

Get-Date |
Select-Object date |
Out-String

Same! This seems like a great one! Any chance these can be recorded and posted for others?

@funbucket.dev is it possible to use PSHelp.Copilot for large modules like Az or Microsoft Graph without having to specify each of their dependent modules? I’d like to be able to ask questions that might span more than one of the smaller modules

"If you type help, PowerShell first looks for an alias named help, then a function named Help, and finally a cmdlet named Help. It runs the first help item that it finds.

If your session contains a cmdlet and a function, both named Get-Map, when you type Get-Map, PowerShell runs the function."

It's not a new resource, but in the battle against using backticks for line breaks in #PowerShell, I find this guide on natural line continuation characters by @markekraus.com to be the de facto source
