I mean, I know that I should avoid Write-host, but I didn't think it would crash VSCode Syntax Highlighter.

What exactly do you mean by crashing? Does the language server actually crash? If so, can you please provide the log files for that session (see https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell#reporting-problems for instructions on attaching a zip of the log files). Or do you see that syntax colorization is messed up after this command?

If you have an error trace for a crash like this, that would very helpful

I think I understand what @1RedOne is saying and I think it's a dupe of #1232.

My guess is syntax highlighter is PSSA results (aka squiggles 👍 ).

[1RedOne]

Hi guys! I emailed the error logs in as requested, and by crashing I mean that red-squiggles appear under everything and that syntax highlighting no longer works. I've had a few repros since then, and it looks like it happens a lot when dealing with here-strings of multi line hashtables.

Hmm I don't think I got the email. You sent it to: vscode-powershell@microsoft.com?

[TylerLeonhardt]

Alternatively you can upload the zip here so more eyes can debug 😄 lots of awesome non-Microsoft maintainers 😄

[TylerLeonhardt]

I don't think I ever got your email... :(

The squiggles are due to PSScriptAnalyzer and if you're receiving those when you shouldn't be, it's better to open an issue here: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer

If it's related to general slowness of the extension not updating squiggles that's tracked with #1232

And if syntax highlighting is breaking for some reason, you'll want to open an issue on:
https://github.com/powershell/editorsyntax

I'm going to close this as both a mix of a dupe of 1232 and an external issue. If you see otherwise, let me know and I'm more than happy to reopen :)
