Interactive Powershell using Intellij Run Configuration?

votes

I have a python script foo which uses getpass to prompt for a password. This python script works at the windows powershell command line:

PS D:\Users\me\projects> foo
Password:

I am calling this python script within a powershell script bar.ps1 and everything still works fine at the command line:

PS D:\Users\me\projects> .\bar.ps1 -bar_argument 42
bar_argument is: 42
calling foo
Password:

The above works when I run the script in the Intellij Terminal but when I setup a powershell run configuration using the Intellij powershell plugin the "Password:" prompt never appears and the powershell script just hangs:

C:/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/powershell.exe -File D:\Users\me\projects\bar.ps1 -bar_argument 42

bar_argument is: 42

calling foo

How can I run a powershell script using the Intellij run configuration and have the script work interactively (similar to the command line behavior)?

Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.

Your python script needs to run non-interactively, since it's called as such by the PowerShell script. Move the interactive part to the PowerShell script an pass the value as an argument to the python script.

Although it is not the powershell terminal the following worked for me with

  • win10
  • IDEA 2019.1
  • phyton 3.7.4 (installed: py launcher and associate files with phyton)

In IDEA windows Terminal execute the following command

  • path

and make sure the path to phyton.exe is set

execute the script with py. It should work:
