powerjs's Issues

PowerJS always loads the PowerShell profile

This may not be desirable as a user profile could add a long delay to starting the shell.
Consider adding a noProfile option to add -noProfile as an argument to spawning the shell.

Please re-license under a more liberal license

Please consider using a different license for this great product!
First and foremost, this is a library which is designed to be used by other applications.

I would love to use this in my closed source Electron application, but neither the GPL nor LGPL would allow this.
Please consider any of the BSD, ISC, MIT or Apache licenses as used by the vast majority of the NPM world.

PowerJS fails to start if pwsh is not installed

child_process:spawn does not throw any error directly as it forks a process
Instead, errors are emitted and need to be listened to.
error is emitted on errors, and spawn on success.

As such, only the first element of additionalShellNames is considered.

Workaround for vanilla windows without PowerShell-7:

const psOptions = {
    additionalShellNames: ['powershell'],
    extensions: [],
    dlls: {}
};
const ps = new PowerJS(psOptions);
