PowerTab for PowerShell V2 Alpha testers wanted

As I did mention in last post ( PowerTab for PowerShell V2  ), I started working on PowerTab for PowerShell V2, and I posted the current version some day's ago and made 5 updates to it in that time.

I'm looking for some Alpha testers that have a bit experience with PowerTab and want to give detailed input.

This is only an alpha version and not as functional as the current PowerTab so no need to install this Alpha build looking for more functionality yet, so first some warnings.

  • CTP2 needed 
  • No Custom completion
  • No configuration
  • No powertab file completion
  • No install
  • Not everything works as expected yet
  • irregular updates

OK, if you still feel up to it after those warnings, You can find the latest version here :

Status :

I did implement a lot of bugs and tips from Xaegr (See also his  Screencast about Powertab )

Current Focus :

Installation

Simple but run update-Tabexpansion and Export-Tabexpasion by hand after first install (to overwrite my database)

creating of new database still needs to be done.

for the rest as it is a Module now  the installation is very simple, follow Jaykul's excellent intro here : PowerShell Modules

Parameter completion

I'm implementing Parameter completion on Script Cmdlets, for example help is now a script cmdlet :

Completion on Arguments that are enums :

Completion on scripts :

Member completion

I'm implementing Member completion on $_. ( Note, that members from File and directory objects are mixed in the completion)

Other Things to try :

Also try the examples in the NewTest.txt you will find in the PowerTab directory.

You can leave a comment with your bugs, tips, requests etc. or you can mail me at the mail address on the About page, (with pictures etc)

Enjoy,

Greetings /\/\o\/\/
