  • Update-Module dbatools Authenticode Issuer Error

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    TLDR: This error is expected and the change is legitimate. To update, switch to Install-Module, then slap on the -SkipPublisherCheck and -Force parameters and continue your update.

    1Install-Module dbatools -Force -SkipPublisherCheck
    

    I've always been very proud that dbatools is Code Signed like a "real" …

    If you're wondering about the uptick in SQL Server-related posts, I recently changed jobs and went back to being a SQL Server DBA. For a few years there, I switched to security engineering; I figured I'd try something new and welcomed no longer being an admin. It was nice enough and I got to do a ton of PowerShell, but …

  • [Solved] OmniSharp RpcErrorException in VS Code Dev Containers for PowerShell-based Azure Functions

    calendar Apr 16, 2023 · 2 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I recently got into VS Code Dev Containers and Azure Functions, and I love them. Unfortunately, the PowerShell Azure Functions pretty much come out of the box with a high likelihood of throwing Ominsharp exceptions when debugging.

    Exception of type 'OmniSharp.Extensions.JsonRpc.RpcErrorException' was thrown

    Two of the files the setup process generates, launch.json and tasks.json, use the func …

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    If you work in an offline environment, you're probably familiar with how painful it can be to install anything, including PowerShell modules like dbatools.

    In the past, dbatools had no dependencies, so the installation process was somewhat straightforward — you could even download a zip from our GitHub repo. However, …

  • Don't waste your time with ($PSEdition -eq 'Core') in your PowerShell module manifest/psd1

    calendar Mar 4, 2023 · 4 min read  ·
    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I cannot believe my eyes.

    I imagine some PowerShellers will disagree with me but when developing modules that support older versions of PowerShell, I refuse to even try to support Core vs Desktop in my module manifest. I imagine this will be the case for the next decade or two.

    I've been working on dbatools 2.0 for a …

    I've been trying for years to get dbatools to import faster. There's a lot of plain-text code to import and even more help. Binary modules like Microsoft's SqlServer module benefit from prior compilation and can be imported in like 500-900ms whereas dbatools generally takes 2-5 seconds.

    I've written about module …
