Can it get into http://psget.net/ so it'd be easier to install?

What have I done wrong?
Thanks --

PSReadLine use worker thread to capture user input. That prevents generation of OnIdle events, because engine is never OnIdle.

Jump-Location subscribe UpdateTime callback to OnIdle events.

Maybe this should be addressed in PSReadLine.

Jump-Location seems to be having problems with PowerShell 5 Production Preview. It is, in some cases, unable to jump given just a number.

PS> mkdir 7\test
PS> cd 7\test
PS> cd ..\..
PS> jumpstat

It does work again if the folder with the number is in the jumpstats

PS> cd 7
PS> cd ..
PS> jumpstat

PS> j 7

I feel that closeness of destination is more impotent then time spend in directory.

Scenario:
I have work under
e:\branch1\source\foo
e:\branch1\source\bar [Big weight]
Now I'm under
e:\branch2\source\foo
and I also have
e:\branch2\source\bar in db

After execute
'j foo' I expect go to e:\branch2\source\bar, not to e:\branch1\source\bar

I should add test for this scenario.
Consider, replace time spended in dir by more sophisticated algorithm: like one that have sublime-text-2 Ctrl+P function.

I have 2 folders C:\Mercurial\Foo and C:\Mercurial\Foo.Bar in my jumplist. I am unable to properly jump to the first as everything points to the second. This may be because the second has a higher weight, but I shouldn't have to keep modifying the first ones weight to be higher. How can I jump to C:\Mercurial\Foo?

Jump commands that I have tried to reach first folder:

• j f
• j m f
• j m fo

What's the rationale for printing the [Jump-location] Database contains XX records message to stdout when you load the module? I think if the user wants this information they should query for it.

First off, I love this tool!

But...

I can't navigate to a folder if the name of a folder in the entire path contains a space. It works perfect for paths without space in the folder names.

See image for error message...

I am running Windows7 but have Powershell version 3 so figured I could get this to work.

When installing via Install-Module, I get the following.

I called jumpstat sequentially and data is not consistent: it's wiped at some point.
Should be a problem with DB -> file save logic

The patient appears to be more dead than alive.

For my needs the following function placed in the PowerShell profile script is enough:

function j {
    Param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true, Position=0)][string]$locationName
    )

    $locations = @{
        "one" = "C:\path\to\location-one"
        "two" = "C:\path\to\location-two"
        "three" = "C:\path\to\location-three"
    }

    if ($locations.ContainsKey($locationName))
    {
        Set-Location $locations.$locationName
    }
    else
    {
        Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Unknown location: $locationName"
    }
}

Obviously a request and not a bug :) I have a very complex project structure and I'm usually going around in the console just to look at files. It could be awesome if I could "j [somepartofthesubfoldername]" and that will go directly to the first subfolder it finds. "j x" already goes back for me (the main folder starts with x), so that works great.

Please consider using an approved verb so we don't have to suffer the module system's warnings. Jump is fine for an alias, but it's not just about that. The verb/noun system breaks down if we don't stay consistent. Yes, strictly speaking "jump" makes more sense to you, but those of us who are using powershell for many years prefer standard verbs and won't go looking for jump. Plus, it makes me itch in an unscratchable place in my brain when I see non-standard verbs.

Suggestions:

• select-location
• find-location

I got error message when dealing with directories with space in their names. For example, "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Visual Studio 2013". The error message: "j : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Visual'."

I followed the directions on Github but when I open a new window I get the following error:

I only get this error when I start Visual Studio 2015 and import the Jump.Location module, removing the import from my profile.ps1 and restarting Visual Studio will fix it.

Preferably this error is fixed, but if it's hard then I would be content with at least a warning that you should only import it in the default console version or ISE.

A bunch of windows programs (and folders) that I navigate to include spaces in their names, which instantly results in Jump-Location failing. Usually with a message like:

I'm assuming here that the only way a directory can get a negative weight is by manually editing it, as stated in the wiki. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Related to #15, the way I'm excluding the poshgit directory is by assigning it a negative weight. I find this absolutely acceptable, more than the plugin trying to guess that I didn't want it to begin with. The problem is that every time I open the shell, the directory gets reevaluated and back in the list. I think if I assigned a negative weight (if that's the only way to get a negative weight) it implies I don't ever want to jump to that folder. It should be kept forever negative, never readded.

I lose history of locations twice (about once a week). I don't have repro. I even haven't close powershell last time I guess. It's very frustrate.

In powershell_ise open another tab cause in lose ability to keep track of you current directory on all tabs.

Repro:

1. Create directory 'LongNameDrectory'
   go to it and spend some time
2. Rename directory to 'LongNameDirectory' (fix typing)

Now it impossible to 'j long', since invalid path is top choice.

When you call 'man j' and 'man jumpstat' your should get help about usage.
Help should include scenarios:

1. simple scenario
2. j -
3. jumpstat scenarios: cleanup, scan

Repro:

1. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)
2. Type j x86+' it should replace string to 'j "C:\Program Files (x86)" '.
3. Hit Enter.
   Expected:
   cd to program files (x86)
   Actual:
   j : The term 'x86' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
   path is correct and try again.

Supossed solution:
Escape with single quotes instead of double quotes.

Posh-Git (included with GitHub for Windows) runs as your PS console starts up. As such, directories get in the weighting list that have no business being there. See #2 there.

I'm getting this error after installing Jump-Location:

I have tried the two suggestions for errors after install but none of those worked for me.

Not sure if it is related but I had Jump-Location installed via chocolatey (v0.5.1) which I uninstalled and then installed the new version (v0.6.0) via the Install-Module.

I have paths like C:\Code\New-Machine. When I think about this as a jump location, I think "nm", however the path segment approach only sees it registered as "ne" at best.

If I was to take a crack at this, is Record.GetPathSegments the likely place to start?

I have been using Jump-Location for quite some time now. Today I suddenly started having a problem when opening a powershell window. I'm getting the following error:

Set-JumpLocation : The term 'Set-JumpLocation' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operabl e program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I've reinstalled Jump-Location but the error persists. Any clue what is going on?

Just downloaded this module and happily installed it. But when I want to j to somewhere, it complains:

My powershell version is Core 6.0.1, I also tried on my native PowerShell, it works well.

After installing Jump.Location (which is neat btw) autocompletion stops working with PoshGit.
If I dont load Jump.Location, autocompletion works again.

If I install jump-location after poshgit, tab key is not working for poshgit.

solvable by changing Powershell_profile.ps1 manually

# Load Jump-Location profile
Import-Module 'C:\Chocolatey\lib\Jump-Location.0.5.1\tools\Jump.Location.psd1'

# Load posh-git example profile
. 'C:\tools\poshgit\dahlbyk-posh-git-95df787\profile.example.ps1'

When typing 'j c' I get the following error:

This most likely totally related to using break-point on $pwd for tracking directory changes. We need to find a better way to achieve same thing.

Call to jumpstat should not output anything to console by default.
Consider replace by -Verbose output

Here is sample, where I call jumpstat from $profile to display statistic:

"Number of records: 132" is pretty confusing message, when you don't call jumpstat from interactive session.

Is there a chance you could add functionality that would allow a complete replacement of the cd command, e.g. so I could also jump to local folders and j would include local folders in the mix with some priorities? The priorities could be defined by a user-defined option:

• always higher than remembered folders. First autocompletion would be local, subsequent {Tabs} would bring the remembered
• always lower than remembered folders
• -1 to ignore local folders completely for people who for some reason differentiate between cd local folders and j outside folders
  That would make the currently old and dysfunctional cd command into something quite smart and useful.
