Help I messed up Visual Studio Code and Connect-SPOService
Hello,
Trying to connect to SPO in Powershell. It works in the ISE, does not in VSCode
In VScode I tried this and got:
Connect-SPOService -url https://<Tenant-admin>.sharepoint.com
Connect-SPOService: The term 'Connect-SPOService' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
I have done the following
Uninstalled SharePoint Online Management Shell
Reinstalled it
Went into VScode did an Install-Module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell:
WARNING: Version '16.0.22111.0' of module 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell' is already installed at 'C:\Program Files\SharePoint Online Management Shell\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell'.
To install version '16.0.22111.12000', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '16.0.22111.12000' side-by-side with version '16.0.22111.0'.
Tried this: get-module | select version,name,path
and get this

It does work in VScode, you can use import-module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell to get it working in PS 7 or choose PS 5 when clicking the version in the lower right bar
mailto:Hello@Harm_Veenstra,
Thank you for pointing that out!
I made that change and tried:
Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
But received this warning:
WARNING: Version '16.0.21411.12000' of module 'Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell' is already installed at 'C:\program files\powershell\7\Modules\Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell\16.0.21411.12000'. To install version '16.0.22111.12000', run Install-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '16.0.22111.12000' side-by-side with version '16.0.21411.12000'.
So I tried:
get-module

Shouldn't I see Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell as a module in VScode?This error still occurs
Connect-SPOService: The term 'Connect-SPOService' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.

Thanks again,
V- get-module -listavailable shows all modules you can import, just import-module Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell
