Release Notes for the AutoRest PowerShell Beta [2/11/2019]

Contents:

New

  • All runtime code is now generated in the same namespace as the project itself (no more Carbon.Json and Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime namespaces) -- this will make it so you can have multiple generated code sets in the same project if necessary.
  • runtime code is a marked lot more internal than it was; public is only used where it must.
  • additionalProperties in models should generate far better code that it was. (still one outstanding case where it's not good.)
  • you can use npm to install powershell cross platform: npm install -g pwsh, then you can just run pwsh !

CAVEATS, AND KNOWN ISSUES:

  • BE KIND! This is a first beta release of a really large amount of code! It was designed to handle APIs crafted for azure services (where we have pretty consistent standards). If it breaks, we'll see what we can do!

  • support for streams may be broken.

  • operations must have unique operationId values.
    they should be in the form Noun_Action (not a powershell noun-verb, but something meaningful)
    like
      operationId: MyResource_Get or
      operationId: SomeAPI_List
    if there are tags, we try to guess something useful, but no guarantees.

  • If something doesn't work, try to trim down the OpenAPI file to narrow down what it doesn't like, and post an issue back to https://github.com/azure/autorest with a clear example and tag it with the powershell label.

  • Http testing/mocking support works, see example however, it has primitive scrubbing, so be careful with storing API keys, etc.

  • Documentation/Deep Knowledge is coming as soon as I can get around to it.

  • Feel Free to poke around, and help out!

Upgrading

If you've been using an earlier build of the PowerShell generator (or the earlier Incubator builds...), you want to make sure you're using nodejs LTS (v14.15.5)

> node -v 

v14.15.5

After that, you can upgrade pretty easily:

    # Install the latest autorest beta
    > npm install -g autorest

    # remove old autorest extensions
    > autorest --reset 

    # nudge autorest into installing the latest version of the generator 
    > autorest --powershell --help

Which should show output like:
