Enhance suggestion code to recommend typos for commands and parameters #3988
Description
Activity
- added this to the milestone
on Jun 10, 2017 We already have a Issue #3955 to put HelpSystem in a separate module. This will allow different Help systems. We can deal with these issues together. I believe HeplSystem should have not only a description of the commands but also a description of the errors. This is very related.
Option to turn on/off suggestions.
Get a help for an error:
Get-Help -Error - for last error
Get-Help -Error nnn - for$error[nnn]error
Get-Help -Error $error[kkk] - for$error[kkk]error
Get-Help -FullyQualifiedErrorIdWe could add an option for error detail:
- only short generic error message
- short error message optionally with short help message (like current behavior)
- long error message with long help message
We could review all Resx error strings to move it to a common format template.
Ilya (@iSazonov) that's an interesting idea we should certainly explore
Dupe of #1982?
Jason Shirk (@lzybkr) agree
PowerShell's current suggestion code is limited. We should enhance it to give a better experience like the
gitcommand on typos for arguments orapt-getfinding apps to install that fit your missing command (leveraging PowerShellGet).
