Build from source instructions incomplete #140

Closed Weishaupt closed 7 years ago

Weishaupt commented 7 years ago

When I build from source, I'm unable to load the module, because important files like AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit.psd1, AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit.psm1, AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkitConfig.json and AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkitInner.psm1 are missing in the root AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit folder.

I temporarily copied those over from an old installation, but this should be part of the repository and instructions in the README.

Hi Marvin, The instructions to build from source in the readme are:

To build from source: Download or clone this repository, and extract from zip if necessary Open AutomationISE/AutomationISE.sln in Visual Studio Build the solution. NuGet will pull the required packages. Put the resulting binaries in the AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit/ISEaddon directory Place the AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit folder somewhere in your PSModulePath, ex: C:\Users\\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

When you clone or download the source, you should get the AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit\ISEaddon directory also. Once you have built the add-on binaries, you should be able to copy them from the AutomationISE\bin\debug folder and place them in the AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit\ISEaddon\ folder where the binaries-go-here.txt file is. You can then place this module in your PSModulePath or import the addon directly by running Import-Module C:\azure-automation-ise-addon-master\AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit\AzureAutomationAuthoringToolkit.psd1

Did you follow these steps or did you do it a different way? Thanks for opening up this issue, Eamon

Hey Eamon, I must admit, that I was a bit blind regarding the folder where to put the compiled binaries. I've created a pull request, that makes the copying step more explicit. Thank you for the explanation.

Thanks Marvin, If you submit the pull request, I'll accept it in to update the readme. Thanks for working on this. Eamon
