Completions Pwsh

What do i do with the file 'solo2.completions.powershell' ?

Completions would, normally, go in your profile.ps1 file to be loaded when you start Powershell. You can use the $profile variable to find out where your profile script should be. Where does the solo2.completions.powershell file come from?

It probably works the same as other completions. There's a discussion here about the github completions that might help.

[pbl987]

it is found here in assets:
https://github.com/solokeys/solo2-cli/releases/tag/v0.2.0
Where is the discussion you are talking about?

The contents are too big to copy and paste them. I tried using type C:\Users\patrick\Documents\PowerShell\solo2.completions.powershell | iex and other stuff without luck. I can't run scripts without ps1 extension, so i guess i am doing something wrong.

I'm sorry. I didn't include a link. Here: cli/cli#695
I'll have a look and see what works well, but on the surface of it, I think adding something like this to your profile might work.

Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {
    . C:\Users\patrick\Documents\PowerShell\solo2.completions.powershell
}

That's dot-sourcing the file, so it's dot-space...

It works, but first i have to rename the file to solo2.completions.powershell**.ps1**
If i don't, it opens the "Open with"-dialogue of windows, where i have to choose an application.

so it's dot-space...

What do you mean?

[macxcool]

dot-space, means that in order to load a powershell script without running it, you have to type a dot (i.e. '.') and a space, then the path to the script. For example: . c:\Temp\solo2.completions.powershell.ps1  /\ note the space between the '.' and the path. And yes, powershell scripts normally have a '.ps1' extension, so it makes sense that you have to name it that. -- Mark C Sent with Tutanota, enjoy secure & ad-free emails.

I just wonder why the file isn't named properly in the beginning. It seems to me like we are not using it as intended.
Otherwise i would mark your post as answer.

You may be right, but since nobody who works on the project is answering I'm just guessing based on my knowledge of PowerShell and how it works. The question is, did it work? ;-) -- Mark C Sent with Tutanota, enjoy secure & ad-free emails. Aug 2, 2022, 4:43 p.m. by ***@***.***:

I am just an end user, and when i pressed TAB, it did autocomplete.
So my guess is, it does work ;-)
