[Resolved] PSSCriptAnalyzer warnings in VSCode

1

Has anyone figured out how to make VSCode ignore these warnings?

PSSCriptAnalyzer(PSUseDeclaredVarsMoreThanAssignments)

I’ve searched the wide webs and found that they can be suppressed by adding line on top of script, but I had no luck.
A lot of my files are dot sourced and I know these variables are used.

Hey raymix,
I use a PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1 file in the root of my workspace (although you can change the path in your settings json to point a particular location).
You should be able to configure it there.

Feel free to take from mine what you want: https://github.com/insomniacc/Misc/blob/master/PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1

You can include/exclude rules and apply settings/config to each that allow. The rule definitions can be read here:

@insomniacc this works better than expected, thank you!

All I had to do is add your example to the root, comment out stuff I don’t care about from include section and restart VSCode.

Cheers

No Problem, Glad I could help.

Also if you weren’t aware, as a VSCode hotkey ALT + SHIFT + E will auto fix all aliases in your script.

You can also use:

Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer -Path "scriptpath.ps1" -Settings "PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1" -fix

Which will auto fix everything it can including aligning hashtables etc.

My apologies for reviving this almost ancient thread, but would you perhaps be able to share this again?
The current url 404’s, but I’m very keen to have a look at it :smiley:

Hey!
Unfortunately it looks like I removed that quite some time back I’m afraid, I was doing a clean up and didn’t realise it was still linked here! I had a poke around and didn’t find a backup either.
I guess I figured that it was so well documented that I wouldn’t need it.

There’s plenty of examples out there if you search for ‘PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1’
Here’s one I found nested in a PSGallery module:

Yep!
Thanks a bunch :slight_smile:

I was already able to configure something myself based on the docs you also referenced. My brain just reached out for a shortcut to get me started haha

Thanks for your time and efforts nonetheless!
