BUG: Formatting replaces double colon :: with a single one :

[rdhar]

Steps to reproduce

Input the following snippet and observe as the formatting replaces the double colon :: with a single one :.

Invoke-WebRequest … -Body "eai:data=$([uri]::EscapeDataString($source.InnerXml))"

Expected behavior

There should be no change.

Actual behavior

After formatting, the double colon :: is replaced with a single one :, thereby breaking the code.

Environment data

Toggling each one, it appears to be down to "powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBetweenParameters": true, rule which causes the issue with VS Code's PowerShell 2020.6.0 extension.

Doesn't seem to be replicable in VS Code's PowerShell Preview 2020.9.0, even with the aforementioned rule enabled.

Thanks for your time.

Does the code in #1541 break with this setting on?

Looks to be a duplicate of #1561

@rdhar it would also be helpful if you could provide the information requested in the issue template:

That's right, @ninmonkey, the code only breaks with powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBetweenParameters enabled, as per #1541.

I've added another example scenario which demonstrates the issue; replacing :: with just a single :. Do let me know if this is still a duplicate, @rjmholt.

Note, it only impacts PowerShell v2020.6.0 extension, as opposed to PowerShell Preview v2020.9.0. Given the issue cannot be replicated in the latest Preview, I'm not fussed about a resolution in the stable version.

# Input
Invoke-WebRequest … -Body "eai:data=$([uri]::EscapeDataString($source.InnerXml))"
Write-Host "eai:data=$([uri]::EscapeDataString('123++'))"

# Actual behaviour
Invoke-WebRequest … -Body "eai:data=$([uri]:EscapeDataString($source.InnerXml))"
Write-Host "eai:data=$([uri]:EscapeDataString('123++'))"

This is a bug that got fixed in pssa 1.19.1, hence why it does not occur in the stable extension, which has not had been updated for a looong time...
