Flancy Broken: Instantly didn't work following the directions on a new install of Windows and VSCode #45
Description
I was told this following code would be EASY!
import-module flancy
$url = "http://localhost:8001"
new-flancy -url $url -webschema @(
Get '/' { "Welcome to Flancy!" }
Get '/processes' {
$processes = Get-Process
$processes |select name, id |convertto-json
}
)
Sure it looks easy but the dependencies the code requires are not available by default in Windows and I just spent 4 hours unsuccessfully trying to get them.
new-flancy -url $url -webschema @(
Get '/' { "Welcome to Flancy!" } Get '/processes' { $processes = Get-Process $processes |select name, id |convertto-json })
