Add PowerShell support for aliases #4285

Open dgomez407 opened 5 years ago

dgomez407 commented 5 years ago

The current alias file syntax supports only bash syntax and is not compatible with Windows. For example, the example provided at https://github.com/awslabs/awscli-aliases define the function 'f' in bash compatible notation. See the below example for the alias 'myip' which would be stored in ~/.aws/cli/alias:

myip =
  !f() {
    dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com
  }; f

When executed on a Windows host the following error is seen:

$ aws myip
'f' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

A suggested resolution is in the pull request at https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/pull/4284 where PowerShell is used for the alias external command.
