Run Script in External PowerShell console

[mpearon]

The ability to execute the active script in an external PowerShell console would be great. Coming from PowerGUI, this was an awesome feature. It eliminated the ISE-ish differences, and let me see exactly what the end user would.

@Tyriar I'm not quite sure this is an exact duplicate - but I might be misunderstanding.
The behavior I'm after is an action to launch an external PowerShell session and pass the script (auto-saved as temporary, if necessary), to that console. This was a great feature of PowerGUI, as the integrated console of ISE was a bit flaky.

Correct me if I've misread the other thread.

There may be an extension for this, otherwise you could create your own. This sort of thing is very specific and would therefore cause bloat in the product.

Just so it is recorded on this thread, this was accomplished by the vscode-PowerShell team:
