Why my Write-Verbose messages do not appear?

Question

I have replaced some of th ecomments with:

Write-Verbose "Doing somthing..."

and I run my script via PS ISE like:

.\FooScript.ps1 -verbose

But in the output window I do not see any of those messages.

How can I make the write-Verbose messages displayed?

You need to add

[CmdletBinding()]

at the start of your script and use the

-verbose

parameter to see verbose messages.

You mean the top of the ps1 file? – pencilCake Nov 02 '12 at 13:45

@pencilCake yes! before the `param()` declaration. If you don't have a param add it as `param()` after `[CmdletBinding()]` – CB. Nov 02 '12 at 13:48

@pencilCake In ISE if you call a function with `[CmdletBinding()]` using paramenter `-verbose` it must works! – CB. Nov 02 '12 at 15:23
