Fixing the 'PowerShell session not found' issue in VS Code

Recently, I was working with some PowerShell scripts in VS Code and ran into a frustrating error:

"Can't find the PowerShell session."

After some digging, I discovered the fix: VS Code couldn't locate my PowerShell executable. The solution was to point VS Code directly to the PowerShell exe path in the settings.

How to Fix It

1. Open VS Code Settings (Ctrl + , or Cmd + , on Mac).
2. Search for powershell.exe or PowerShell: Executable Path.
3. Manually set the path to your PowerShell installation.

Where to Find PowerShell (if installed with Homebrew)

If you've installed PowerShell via Homebrew, here's where you'll find it on macOS:

/usr/local/bin/pwsh

(or /opt/homebrew/bin/pwsh if you're on Apple Silicon).

That's the file path you'll want to paste into VS Code's PowerShell settings.

Thats all - once you set the correct path, restart VS Code and the error should be gone. Happy scripting!
