powershell_script 1.1.0

A library for running Windows PowerShell scripts
Documentation
//! # Windows Powershell script runner
//!
//! This crate is pretty basic. It uses `std::process::Command` to pipe commands
//! to PowerShell. In addition to that there is a convenient wrapper around `process::Output`
//! especially tailored towards the usecase of running Windows PowerShell commands.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! I recommend that you write the commands to a `*.ps` file to be able to take advantage
//! of existing tools to create the script.
//!
//! This example creates a shortcut of `notepad.exe` to the desktop.
//!
//! **In `script.ps`**
//! ```ps
//! $SourceFileLocation="C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
//! $ShortcutLocation=[Environment]::GetFolderPath("Desktop")+"\notepad.lnk"
//! $WScriptShell=New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
//! $Shortcut=$WScriptShell.CreateShortcut($ShortcutLocation)
//! $Shortcut.TargetPath=$SourceFileLocation
//! $Shortcut.Save()
//! ```
//!
//! **In `main.rs`**
//! ```rust, ignore
//! use crate powershell_script;
//!
//! // Creates a shortcut to notpad on the desktop
//! fn main() {
//!     let create_shortcut = include_str!("script.ps");
//!     match powershell_script::run(create_shortcut) {
//!         Ok(output) => {
//!             println!("{}", output);
//!         }
//!         Err(e) => {
//!             println!("Error: {}", e);
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! You can of course provide the commands as a string literal instead. Just beware that
//! we run each `line` as a separate command.
//!
//! The flag `print_commands` can be set to `true` if you want each
//! command to be printed to the `stdout` of the main process as they're run which
//! can be useful for debugging scripts or displaying the progress.
//!
//! ## Use the `PsScriptBuilder` for better control
//!
//! Instead of running a script using `powershell_script::run()` you can use
//! `PsScriptBuilder` to configure several options:
//!
//! ```
//! use powershell_script::PsScriptBuilder;
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let ps = PsScriptBuilder::new()
//!         .no_profile(true)
//!         .non_interactive(true)
//!         .hidden(false)
//!         .print_commands(false)
//!         .build();
//!     let output = ps.run(r#"echo "hello world""#).unwrap();
//!
//!     assert!(output.stdout().unwrap().contains("hello world"));
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Features and compatability
//!
//! On Windows it defaults to using the PowerShell which ships with Windows, but you
//! can also run scripts using PowerShell Core on Windows by enabling the
//! `core` feature.
//!
//! On all other operating systems it will run scripts using PowerShell core.
//!

// Note: PowerShell Core can be isntalled on windows as well so we can't simply
// discriminate based on target family.

/// Runs a script in PowerShell. Returns an instance of `Output`. In the case of
/// a failure when running the script it returns an `PsError::Powershell(Output)`
/// which holds the output object containing the captures of `stderr` and `stdout`
/// for display. The flag `print_commands` can be set to `true` if you want each
/// command to be printed to the `stdout` of the main process as they're run. Useful
/// for debugging scripts.
///
/// ## Panics
/// If there is an error retrieving a handle to `stdin` in the child process.
///
/// ## Example
///
/// ```rust
/// fn main() {
///     let script = r#"echo "hello world""#;
///     let output = powershell_script::run(script).unwrap();
///     assert_eq!(output.stdout().unwrap().trim(), "hello world");
/// }
/// ```
