How To Resolve PowerShell Script Execution Policy Error In Angular ?

Angular is a framework for building client-side applications using TypeScript and doesn't directly interact with PowerShell scripts or their execution policies. However, if you are facing an execution policy error while trying to run a PowerShell script unrelated to Angular, here's how you can resolve it.

Introduction

When working with Angular CLI in a PowerShell environment, you might encounter script execution policy errors that prevent the execution of scripts. PowerShell's default execution policy is often set to a level that restricts script execution for security reasons. This guide provides step-by-step instructions on resolving PowerShell script execution policy errors specifically related to Angular CLI.

Step-by-Step Resolving PowerShell Script Execution Policy Error for Angular CLI.

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator

To address the script execution policy error, initiate PowerShell with administrative privileges. Right-click on the PowerShell icon and select "Run as Administrator."

2. Check the Current Execution Policy

Use the following command to inspect the current execution policy.

PowerShell command

$executionPolicy = Get-ExecutionPolicy
Write-Output "Current Execution Policy: $executionPolicy"

3. Change the Execution Policy

If the current execution policy is too restrictive (e.g., "Restricted"), consider changing it to a more permissive setting like `RemoteSigned.`

PowerShell command

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Confirm the change by selecting 'Y' (Yes) when prompted.

4. Run Your Angular CLI Command Again

Retry your Angular CLI command after modifying the execution policy.

Angular Terminal

ng generate component test

5. Restore the Original Execution Policy (Optional)

For security reasons, you can revert to the original execution policy after completing Angular CLI tasks.

Powershell

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted

Confirm the change by selecting 'Y' (Yes) when prompted.

By adopting the `RemoteSigned` execution policy, you allow the execution of locally created scripts while mandating that downloaded scripts be signed by a trusted publisher.

This approach balances security and convenience, making it suitable for development purposes.
