This project provides Powershell commands for working with the Drupal 8 CLI (drush and the drupal console).
Currently this project exposes 2 commands drush
and drupal
which invoke drush and the drupal console respectively. These commands will search the working directory hierarchy to find the drush and drupal console scripts, in a similar way to how drush launcher works.
This requires that Drupal 8 has been installed using Composer.
To get started, install the posh-drupal
module from the Powershell Gallery:
install-module posh-drupal
Once installed, import the module (you can add this in your Powershell profile):
import-module posh-drupal
The following commands will now be available in your shell:
drush
drupal
New-Drupal
Note that the New-Drupal function just returns an instance of the Drupal
class which encapsulates the logic for finding a drupal installation in a directory's hierarchy. It is used internally by the drush
and drupal
functions.
These commands assume that the php
executable is available in your path. If you want to force use of a specific PHP executable, then add the following to your profile:
$global:DrupalSettings.PhpExecutable = 'C:\PHP72\php.exe'
