Powershell ctags settings

ctags.cnf

--langdef=Powershell
--langmap=Powershell:.psm1
--langmap=Powershell:.ps1
--regex-Powershell=/function\s+(script:)?([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\2/m, method/i
--regex-Powershell=/\$(global:)?([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\2/v, variable/i

Hi, already some years old and was still valuable, at least for me ;) I had a small issue with the above config. The second langmap overwrites the first one. So my functions in the module weren't indexed. I put my change to your gist if someone else is also searching for that. I use Pester tests within the subfolder "test".

Either we use
--langmap=Powershell:.psm1 --langmap=Powershell:+.ps1

or directly with one langmap arg
--langmap=Powershell:.psm1.ps1

In a oneliner (functions and all occurences for $<..>)

ctags -R --langdef=Powershell --langmap=Powershell:.psm1.ps1 --regex-Powershell="/function\s+(script:)?([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\2/f, function/i" --regex-Powershell="/\$(global:)?([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\2/v, variable/i" --exclude=test

That gave me too much variable definitions, so a way around that would be to write the type directly in front of the variable name and use that to filter only for the variable definitions where it looks like [] $<..>...

ctags -R --langdef=Powershell --langmap=Powershell:.psm1.ps1 --regex-Powershell="/function\s+(script:)?([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\2/m, method/i" --regex-Powershell="/\s*\[.*\]\s*\$([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\1/v, variable/i" --regex-Powershell="/\$global:([a-zA-Z\-]+)/\1/v, globalvariable/i" --exclude=test

Hope it helps others.
