WebStorm Windows PowerShell aliases don't work

Question

When I run script ("example":"docker ps") via WebStorm run button, I get:

'docker' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

PowerShell script works in Windows 11 terminal.

My aliases for docker:

# powershell
function docker { wsl -- docker $args }

# cmd
@echo off
DOSKEY docker=wsl -- docker $*

How to resolve this problem? I'm using pnpm.

Just to spell it out: the DOSKEY definition won't work in PowerShell (except if you unload the PSReadLine module, which significantly diminishes the command-line editing experience). For your PowerShell function to be available on startup, you must add it to a/your $PROFILE file (and make sure that PowerShell isn't started with -NoProfile, which seems to be the case). As an aside: For robustness I suggest defining the function as function docker { wsl -e docker $args } — mklement0
