PSADT Version 4

The Toolkit Tips & Tricks
1

Love the new toolkit. However, I used to test as I was building by loading up and running the AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 and then running the lines of code I put into Deploy-Application.ps1. How do I do this with the new toolkit? Also, how does one change the configuration? I don’t use balloon notifications and want to turn them off.

With PSAppDeployToolkit v4, you’d import your module, then you should be able to run your commands. If you need/want to see onscreen log output, there’s two options:

  1. Add -Verbose on the end of your function calls
  2. Start a temporary session so the module is bootstrapped. This is achieved by doing $adtSession = Open-ADTSession -SessionState $ExecutionContext.SessionState -PassThru ( you can also pass through your additional parameters like -AppVendor, -AppName, etc.

Also, how does one change the configuration? I don’t use balloon notifications and want to turn them off.

In the Template_v4 ZIP file you’ve likely downloaded, in the root of that folder there will be a “Config” directory. All the familiar options will be in there. Please modify this one, and not the config folder within the PSAppDeployToolkit module folder as it’s not designed to be tampered with.
