Tasks to create an IIS application pool and web site on Windows 10 with PowerShell and Visual Studio Code:
- Install the Visual Studio Code plugin PowerShell 0.6.2
- Create a file iis.configuration.ps1 in Visual Studio Code:
# Note: When run with the Visual Studio Code PowerShell debugger, make sure you use the "x64" debugger,
# else you will get an error: New-WebAppPool : Cannot retrieve the dynamic parameters for the cmdlet.Import-Module WebAdministration
# Create application pools
New-WebAppPool -Name "myapp.localhost" -Force# Create websites
New-Website -Name "myapp.localhost" -Port 80 -HostHeader "myapp.localhost" -ApplicationPool "myapp.localhost" -PhysicalPath "c:\projects\myapp\web" -Force
- Create a launch.json in the same folder as the iis.configuration.ps1:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "PowerShell",
"type": "PowerShell",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/iis.configuration.ps1",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/iis.configuration.ps1"
},
{
"name": "PowerShell x86",
"type": "PowerShell x86",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}/iis.configuration.ps1",
"args": [],
"cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/iis.configuration.ps1"
}
]
}
Now you can debug / run the iis.configuration.ps1 file, by hitting F5, make sure you selected “PowerShell” and not “PowerShell x86” on the debug tab:
