Since people are curious Ill explain why:

I need to build our project from the remote repo using a PowerShell script (.ps1). I’m using Bash in the VSCode terminal, I have to run the .ps1 script in a new Command Prompt because the compilation takes around 5 minutes and I need my terminal for other things. To do this, the only way is to run a batch file that executes the .ps1 script.

Its an automation so I dont need to touch powershell whatsover and remain in bash terminal. Instead of opening several windows, I automated all so it only takes 1 alias to compile my shit.

The compilation also requires several inputs and "Key Presses", so I automated all of that in the Batch file.

Command prompt is CMD and batch script, Powershell is Pwsh and .ps1, then bash is .sh.

You've confused a few things here..

FYI, open a powershell terminal separately, to the path of your script (powershell in file Explorer path) and run your script.

Do rest of Work in Vscode

Done.

I use Ansible on WSL to run Powershell scripts on Windows using VSCode. I'm surprised it works as well as it does.

You use Linux to run Ansible to run ps1 on Windows, exactly how it's meant to be used!
