How to people write PowerShell scripts in a productive way? I'm writing my first non-trivial one to query and update the tables in MSI files. I reckon I have wasted more than half the coding time (many hours)on utterly infuriating and bewildering problems. I'm writing the script in ISE and I hit F5 to run it and check the results.
After making a code change I hit F5 and it runs the code before the change, the second F5 runs with the change. Even saving the script makes do different and I have to hit F5 twice to see the results. If I make a small error the script crashes. Sometimes when I fix the error it continues to crash with an unrelated error as if I never corrected it. It's like an error gets "stuck" and can't be undone. I made a tiny correctional change about 15 minutes ago and the script crashes non-stop with a "not recognised" error, which I know is bullshit. I've even tried rebooting, but the correct script is still crashing. Is this a joke. What century am I in? *Greg K*
