Re: Powershell scripting with org-babel

Damn straight it's "mature and appropriate"

MicroSoft has been found guilty of MANY crimes that set the software industry back many years through serial acquisitions & monopolistic practices

Corporate immaturity, unfair and illegal practices have driven the rise of the Free Software Foundation, Emacs & OrgMode

It's why were all here using OrgMode and supporting it--its ALL about freedom and free and open source software

MicroSoft PowerShell is a participation in immaturity & stupidity

It's fashioned off of shells that really work rather than stripped down nonsense that Gates stole and called his own--i.e. "quick and dirty DOS"--which still works a little bit, on worthless machines enslaved by MicroSoft products

Grow up: MicroSoft products are evil and enslaving

Now that said, I've used PowerShell; but, only when I had to--I strongly suggest you do the same

Well that's mature and appropriate.

I recently did an implementation of `ob-pwsh` for supporting powershell core (it assumes there’s a pwsh command available on PATH though thats configurable with `org-babel-command:pws`). Here’s the link https://github.com/togakangaroo/ob-pwsh. Instructions for installing are in the README

It works ok and even supports variables but was a 3 hour hack job, plenty of features missing. I hadn’t even announced it on this list before. The code is pretty small though - under 60 loc if you want to contribute to it, I’m game.

I also saw this a while ago but haven’t really dug in https://old.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/dkz0n1/babel_with_powershell/?st=k5jqc8es&sh=b464c181

Oh, and powershell is awesome. It’s 2020, we should have a runtime in our terminal (eshell somewhat does this and is pretty good because of it). One of the things that would be really nice to do some day would be some sort of conversion between powershell and lisp structures so that we could pass structured data as hashes and lists between languages - not just strings.

But if you must use Windows, suggest you use Cygwin and BASH and/or EShell {the Emacs Shell}--you can do much more than PowerSh3ll

And Emacs & OrgMode work very nicely on Cygwin

Hello,

can you help me ? I want to use org-babel for Powershell scripting. I found this code chunk on the internet for customizing org-babel for Powershell on github:

https://gist.github.com/cbilson/ae0d90d163be4d769f8a15ddb58292bc

There is no explanation there I should put the configuration. The org-babel documentation is too brief for me as beginner to understand.

Yours sincerely
