How to add PowerShellEditorService support to helix?

[leimath]

I tried looking into adding proper command completion for powershell scripts and looks like https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices is the way to go. Not sure on how to make this work out.

Any steps on how to connect the services together would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @leimath

After several hours I got the PowerShell services up and running.
My setup is a MacBook Pro (Mac OS 12.6) with PowerShell 7.2.6 installed.
I downloaded the PowerShell editor services and extracted it under /usr/local/bin/powershell-es.

My languages.toml looks like this:

[[language]]
name = "pwsh"
scope = "source.ps1"
roots = [".git"]
file-types = ["ps1"]
comment-token = "#"
indent = { tab-width = 2, unit = "  " }
language-server = { command = "pwsh", args = ["-NoLogo", "-NoProfile", "-Command", "/usr/local/bin/powershell-es/PowerShellEditorServices/Start-EditorServices.ps1 -BundledModulesPath /usr/local/bin/powershell-es -SessionDetailsPath /usr/local/bin/powershell-es/powershell_es.sessions.json -LogPath /usr/local/bin/powershell-es/powershell_es.log -FeatureFlags @() -AdditionalModules @() -HostName helix -HostProfileId 0 -HostVersion 1.0.0 -Stdio -LogLevel Normal"] }

Now when I edit a script, it looks something like this:

Hope this helps you

Thanks @lrottach I was also looking for this. Would it be possible to submit it as a PR ?

[lrottach]

Hey @j2ghz,
thanks a lot for your feedback and request. I will have a closer look on that.

Additionally it would also be great to have syntax highlighting and features like auto format...
Unfortunately, I don't know these topics well enough.

Thank you!

Is it possible to get syntax highlighting as well?

I tried using this tree-sitter https://github.com/PowerShell/tree-sitter-PowerShell, but it didn't work.
Also seems unfinished and abandoned.

[Joe-Zer0]

No, unfortunately it is not possible currently as there is no working PowerShell treesitter.
