I would expect to be notified about whether or not i have to run the generator in a special execution policy state. Im not, and the script execution fails.
Could you try to run Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force in a Powershell with admin rights?
If this works this should be added to the readme.
In my opinion this is not a bug per se. It's probably in the category of an enhancement to docs.
Setting the execution policy helped as expected..
Agree, its not a bug, but It Just needs to be clearified whats the best way to deal with it..
I totally agree. We will make an instruction on this, and I appreciate your report on it. It's issues like this that can help us prepare the tool for broad user consumption 👍
