PowerShell extensions for CodePlex release web service version 0.2

written by Ravikanth

I just made a release of PSCodePlex 0.2. This has got no fancy features but a lot of improvements as suggested by some of you. This release got some breaking changes to parameters.

Add-Release

  1. $rName changed to $releaseName
  2. $pName changed to $projectName
  3. $rDescription changed to $releaseDescription
  4. $Status changed to $releaseStatus
  5. $public and $default have been changed to switch parameter type

Upload-Release

  1. $rName changed to $releaseName
  2. $pName changed to $projectName
  3. $rType changed to $releaseType
  4. $rFolderPath changed to $releaseFolderPath

Comment based help has been added. You can, now, use Get-Help cmdlet to retrieve help topics about Add-Release and Upload-Release. You can also -VERBOSE parameter to see detailed activity while using these cmdlets.

  •  Was able to add the module and the script runs but returns:
    ‘Insufficient permissions to perform the operation.’
    using:
    ‘ Add-Release -pName “dsamples” -rName “Project Samples 0.1” -status “Alpha” -username “sqlsolver” -passWord “mypassword” -IsPublic $true ‘ 

    I checked Get-ExecutionPolicy and it’s set to ‘unrestricted’ so does this refer to permissions on the CodePlex account?

    With Upload-Release I’m getting project name errors (trying to refer to the existing project) and error uploading file because access is denied on the local path (running PS as Administrator).
    I appreciate any suggestions..

  • I have not worked on this for almost many months now. I will get back to you soon. BTW, the documentation seems to pointing at wrong parameter names. I have updated the parameter names to something more meaningful. Pls check the script.
