        "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
        "mfussenegger/nvim-dap",
        "rcarriga/nvim-dap-ui",
        {
            "m00qek/baleia.nvim",
            lazy = true,
            tag = "v1.4.0",

Powershell launch.json

Launch.json refers to powershell as type = PowerShell, but nvim-dap refers to the filetype, default = ps1. To make the standard launch.json work it is recommended to set powershell filetype as PowerShell.

This is done by:

• Create file in your nvim directory: ftdetect/PowerShell.vim
• Set content to:

au BufRead,BufNewFile *.ps1 set filetype=PowerShell
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.psm1 set filetype=PowerShell

Repl content color correction

Powershell Editor Services send back ANSI color coded error messages. These are not correctly parsed out of the box. To fix this it is recommended to configure the following after the dapui is initialized:

local dapui = require("dapui")
dapui.setup()
dap.listeners.after.event_initialized["dapui_config"] = function()
    dapui.open({})
    require('dap-powershell').correct_repl_colors()
end

Custom dap configurations

If you call the require('dap-powershell').setup method it will create a few nvim-dap configuration entries. These configurations are general purpose configurations suitable for many use cases, but you may need to customize the configurations.

To add your own entries, you can extend the dap.configurations.PowerShell list after calling the setup function:

lua << EOF
require('dap-powershell').setup()
table.insert(require('dap').configurations.PowerShell, {
  type = 'PowerShell',
  request = 'launch',
  name = 'My custom launch configuration',
  script = '${file}',
})
EOF

An alternative is to use project specific .vscode/launch.json files, see :help dap-launch.json.
