Autocomplete script for sfdx on windows powershell

Also works in powershell core

Requirements

• sfdx (the npm version installed using npm i -g sfdx-cli)
• powershell (regular or powershell core)

Installation

Copy this script file (sfdx-autocomplete.ps1) to any directory on your machine. Add a reference to the script in your Powershell User Profile file. Refer to the link below for instructions on how to set up your Powershell Profile.

Usage

• Type in 'sfdx' followed by any portion of the command you're looking for. For eg: Type in sfdx followed by a space and lightning to see all force:lightning commands, or test to see all commands associated with running tests.
• After you type in a command, add double hyphens (--) followed by <TAB><TAB> to see the list of flags associated with the command, that you can then tab through.

Note:

• For the autocomplete effect seen in the gif above, add the following line to your powershell profile

  Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -Function MenuComplete
  

• The script creates a '.sfdxcommands.json' file in your home directory each time a powershell session is started. This file contains all the sfdx commands. It is created in the background to avoid blocking the user. So, you might experience a slight delay in autocomplete to start working the very first time you install this script.
