posh-dynargs
A PowerShell module that enables dynamic tab completion for project-specific commands.
posh-dynargs enables tab completion for commands whose arguments change depending on the current directory. It also generates helper functions for those commands, adding capabilities such as logging, timing, and audio alerts.
TOPIC
posh-dynargs
SHORT DESCRIPTION
posh-dynargs enables tab completion for commands whose arguments change
depending on the current directory. It also generates helper functions for
those commands, adding capabilities such as logging, timing, and audio
alerts.
LONG DESCRIPTION
Many projects rely on commands like build, ci, make, test, etc. Each of
these commands has its own set of possible arguments, often dozens of them,
and their usage and interface can vary between projects and certainly
between organizations.
posh-dynargs makes tab completion possible for these disparate commands.
Possible arguments are determined on the fly, so even when arguments change
or new ones are added, they are instantly tab completable.
See TAB COMPLETION.
Additionally, a helper function of the same name is generated for each
command. Apart from making it possible to invoke the command without the
leading .\ or ./, it enables additional features such as logging the output.
See HELPER FUNCTIONS.
A project that wants to use posh-dynargs only has to include a file called
.argument-completer-registry.json at the root of the project. This file is
a registry that describes the completable commands, how to find their
arguments, and how to customize the helper functions.
See ARGUMENT COMPLETER REGISTRY.
TAB COMPLETION
To enable tab completion for a project-specific command, add it to the
argument completer registry, including a few hints regarding where to find
and parse the arguments to be completed.
KNOWN SCRIPT TYPES
posh-dynargs knows how to extract arguments from Cake scripts, PSake
scripts, and Make files. In those cases, you only have to register the
location and type of the script. posh-dynargs figures out the rest.
For a Cake script, for example, the registry entry might look like this:
{
"name": "build",
"argsPath": "./build/ci.cake",
"type": "cake",
"funcDefaults": {
"logOutput": true,
"talk": true,
}
}
This entry tells posh-dynargs that the command to invoke is "build", and
it is dealing with a Cake script that lives at ./build/ci.cake. It will
parse the script for possible arguments the second you enter build{TAB}. On
a reasonably performant computer, this is nearly instantaneous.
CUSTOM SCRIPTS
You likely have other scripts that posh-dynargs doesn't know how to parse.
In such a case, register it as a custom command and provide a regex to guide
posh-dynargs to the correct arguments.
Here's a sample registry entry for a custom command called "scrape":
{
"name": "scrape",
"argsPath": "./tools/scrape.ps1",
"type": "custom",
"regex": "^Task ([A-Z][^ ]+)"
},
BINARY COMMANDS
What about binary commands that aren't parsable? Those commands typically
ship with a switch like --help from which we can extract the arguments to
complete. posh-dynargs can execute this help command and cache the help
text to make future tab completion faster (and safer).
Sample registry entry for an unparsable binary command:
{
"name": "test",
"helpCommand": "--help",
"type": "custom",
"regex": "(--[a-z]+=?)"
}
DANGER, WILL ROBINSON
Executing the "help command" adds a security risk to posh-dynargs, because
we leave the relative safety of simply parsing text and begin executing
code. The following precautions have been taken to help mitigate this risk:
* Only allow executing the registered command
* Only allow executing a whitelisted set of help arguments:
* help
* --help
* -h
* --list
* -l
* /?
* -?
* Additionally, before executing the command, the user is prompted with a
frightening message, to which they must respond "yes", or the expression
will not be executed:
>>> DANGER! OK to run `./test --help`? (yes/no) :
So where do we add these argument completer registry entries? You will
create a file at the root of your project called
.argument-completer-registry.json. See ARGUMENT COMPLETER REGISTRY.
LEADING DASH POWERSHELL BUG
As of January, 2019, there is a PowerShell bug that prevents arguments with
a leading dash from being completed. E.g. "build -stuff" would fail. The
workaround used by posh-dynargs is to preface those arguments with a
leading colon ":". Rather than running "build -stuff", you would run
"build :-stuff". The helper function then strips off the leading colon.
This is undesirable. Hopefully the bug will be fixed soon.
ISSUE: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-Docs/issues/1979
HELPER FUNCTIONS
A helper function of the same name is generated for for each command. Apart
from making it possible to invoke the command without the leading .\ or ./,
it enables the following additional features:
* Logging of command output.
* An audible prompt when the command finishes.
Great for long-running commands.
* Timing the command.
Each of these features is optional and configurable in the argument
completer registry, using options supplied to funcDefaults.
See ARGUMENT COMPLETER REGISTRY for the full syntax.
ARGUMENT COMPLETER REGISTRY
The argument completer file is called .argument-completer-registry.json and
should be placed at the root of the project.
This JSON file is a registry of the project's completable commands. It
controls how each command's arguments are discovered. It also configures
options for the generated helper functions.
SAMPLE .argument-completer-registry.json
{
"completableCommands": [
{
"name": "build",
"argsPath": "./build/ci.cake",
"type": "cake",
"funcDefaults": {
"logOutput": true,
"talk": true,
"useTimer": true,
"useGlobal": false,
}
},
{
"name": "scrape",
"argsPath": "./tools/scrape.ps1",
"type": "custom",
"regex": "^Task ([A-Z][^ ]+)"
},
{
"name": "test",
"helpCommand": "--help",
"type": "custom",
"regex": "(--[a-z]+=?)"
}
]
}
DESCRIPTION OF ATTRIBUTES
name: The name of the command to be completed.
argsPath: The path to the script containing the arguments to be parsed.
helpCommand: For compiled tools. Parse the arguments from the tool's help
output. Supply something like "--help" or "-h".
The help text output will be cached in $env:TEMP.
type: The type of script being parsed. Natively-supported types are
"cake", "make", and "psake".
regex: (For custom types) The regular expression used to extract the
task names from "argsPath" or the output of "helpCommand".
The first capturing group must contain the task name.
funcDefaults: Sets defaults for the generated helper function.
logOutput: true or false. If true, log command output to the TEMP
directory. Note that you will lose color output.
talk: true or false. If true, audibly communicate a failed or
successful command invocation.
useTimer: true or false. If true, display elapsed time when the
command finishes.
useGlobal: true or false. If true, invoke the command found in your
PATH rather than the local directory.
DISCUSSION
In the above file sample we can assume that there is an executable .\build,
a .\scrape, and a .\test in the same directory alongside
.argument-completer-registry.json. This simple registry tells the argument
completer where the actual script is located and how to parse it.
For example, the "build" command above will execute the Cake script located
in ./build/ci.cake. The "type" is listed as "cake". The argument completer
knows how to parse Cake files and extract the arguments, which are then
used for tab completion.
When you are in this directory and you type build, PowerShell will find the
registered argument completer and invoke the associated script block. The
script block will load ./.argument-completer-registry.json and find the
"build" command. Then it parses the Cake script using the path provided in
the .json file, and uses that to provide tab completion. This happens every
time you run the build command, but it happens extremely fast. There is
typically no lag.
USAGE
You need to import the posh-dynargs module into your PowerShell session to
use it. This is done with the command "Import-Module posh-dynargs". Once
imported, run "Add-PoshDynargsToProfile" so that posh-dynargs is imported
every time PowerShell starts.
PERFORMANCE
posh-dynargs piggybacks on top of the PowerShell prompt. Every time prompt
is invoked, Register-LocalArgumentCompleters is also invoked.
Register-LocalArgumentCompleters will process .argument-completer-registry.json
if it exists. This involves registering each argument completer and creating
a helper function. If you experience a slowdown, it will be here. Once
registered, the process will not repeat until the directory changes.
To enable timing of the Register-LocalArgumentCompleters function, set
$PoshDynargsSettings.EnableTiming = $true
UNDER THE HOOD
As noted in PERFORMANCE, posh-dynargs works by attaching itself to
PowerShell's prompt function. Every time the prompt function is invoked,
a so is the main posh-dynargs function.
How does this work?
(I'm not happy with the current implementation, and it's likely to change.)
If you're using posh-git, the function is attached to and executed with
$GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix. If you aren't using posh-git, the prompt is replaced with a custom one
which just so happens to run Register-LocalArgumentCompleters.

.SYNOPSIS
Configures your PowerShell profile (startup) script to import the posh-dynargs
module when PowerShell starts.
.DESCRIPTION
Checks if your PowerShell profile script is not already importing posh-dynargs
and if not, adds a command to import the posh-dynargs module. This will cause
PowerShell to load posh-dynargs whenever PowerShell starts.
.PARAMETER AllHosts
By default, this command modifies the CurrentUserCurrentHost profile
script. By specifying the AllHosts switch, the command updates the
CurrentUserAllHosts profile (or AllUsersAllHosts, given -AllUsers).
.PARAMETER AllUsers
By default, this command modifies the CurrentUserCurrentHost profile
script. By specifying the AllUsers switch, the command updates the
AllUsersCurrentHost profile (or AllUsersAllHosts, given -AllHosts).
Requires elevated permissions.
.PARAMETER Force
Do not check if the specified profile script is already importing
posh-dynargs. Just add Import-Module posh-dynargs command.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Add-PoshDynargsToProfile
Updates your profile script for the current PowerShell host to import the
posh-dynargs module when the current PowerShell host starts.
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Add-PoshDynargsToProfile -AllHosts
Updates your profile script for all PowerShell hosts to import the posh-dynargs
module whenever any PowerShell host starts.
.INPUTS
None.
.OUTPUTS
None.
