I am running the following: var ps = new shell({executionPolicy: 'Bypass', debugMsg: true, noProfile: true});
and received the following error: [TypeError: shell is not a constructor]

any thoughts

Hey @forensicsguy20012004 ,
I suggest you try to re-install the module.
Besides, did you remember to add this line first?

const shell = require('node-powershell');

Let me know if you managed to solved this, or you need further help.
GL and THx 👍

Hello...thanks for replying back so quickly :)

So I ran the following code....

var shell = require('node-powershell');
var ps = new shell({executionPolicy: 'Bypass', debugMsg: true, noProfile: true});
ps.addCommand('echo "node-powershell rocks"')
.then(function(){
return ps.invoke();
})
.then(function(output){
console.log(output);
ps.dispose();
})
.catch(function(err){
console.log(err);
ps.dispose();
});

I installed via NPM doing: npm install node-powershell --save

I have not been able to get this working...yet...I am hoping I will or I will find something.

I am running v6.9.1 on a Windows 7 box.

I have run this a couple different ways...so I am not getting an error about the module not being loaded or available. I will try anything.

Hey @forensicsguy20012004 ,
After reading this
The two reasonable things that could happened is that either the module is not loaded correctly from some reason... or that you use shell variable elsewhere in your code ... I would suggest that once again, you will open an empty folder and try to run the example... Anyway I will try to publish a new version at the beginning of next week maybe .. maybe this would solve it.
Have a nice day and keep updating!

[forensicsguy20012004]

Sorry for responding back so late...I will give that a try and look forward to a new push of your module. Keep up the good work :)

[forensicsguy20012004]

So, I pulled down your newest version via NPM: "node-powershell": "3.0.1"...still getting the same error. My guess is, it has got to be something that I am doing. I am pretty adept as Node but for some reason this escapes me.

Hello @rannn505,

I have the same problem as @forensicsguy20012004.
I tried re-installing the module but that didn't fixed the issue for me.

This is the code I was trying to run:

const Shell = require('node-powershell');

const ps = new Shell({
  executionPolicy: 'Bypass',
  noProfile: true
});

ps.addCommand('echo node-powershell');
ps.invoke()
.then(output => {
  console.log(output);
})
.catch(err => {
  console.log(err);
});

I copied this code from StackOverflow and wanted to test it, but I don't know how to workaround this error.
Is it working for you?
