Which debug configuration are you using? If you are using PowerShell: Launch Current File, then what is the full path of the script you were trying to debug. If you are using PowerShell: Launch Script, please post the debug configuration here.

Hi @rkeithhill, thanks you for the quick answer.
I currently use the PowerShell: Launch Current File configuration on the following script:

C:\Users\us1.COMPANY.IT\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project01\Test\Test.Customer01.ps1

[buckmuu]

I thougth the problem could be the - char, but the full path has always been that and it has always worked.

@buckmuu thanks for the additional information, it seems like the one drive path could be the culprit, an issue that we are tracking here: #1994 ...although you said you arent seeing this issue with other scripts in under that file path?

[buckmuu]

@SydneyhSmith yes i confirm that if i try to start a debugging session on another project in the same root folder (C:\Users\us1.COMPANY.IT\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project02\script.ps1) it works.

But if I try on another script in the same parent folder (C:\Users\us1.COMPANY.IT\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project01\) it does not work.

I also have crashing on debug. I filed a ticket before (but couldn't really repro so let it die) where I thought it crashing as a result in an exception in another class, but it turns out it just happens on debug. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it'll go for stretches where it's fine, then it will crash 10 or more times in a row on the same script. Some of the scripts are very simple with just a few lines, but all of them refer to other PowerShell classes in my case.

Attached are some log files for a sample crash, in this case the extension crashed after every single run resulting in VS Code noting the crash and asking for a wait or reopen (waiting doesn't change anything though I've not waited more than 5 minutes to be honest).

In this particular set of examples, the log errors are all the same, so I've only included one crash.
VS Version:

Extensions:

Powershell version:

Logs:
DebugSession-1.log
EditorServices.log
vscode-powershell.log

In this case I consistently see this error across multiple sessions:

2019-07-29 16:53:25.033 [ERROR] tid:15 in 'ExecuteCommand' C:\PowerShellEditorServices\src\PowerShellEditorServices\Session\PowerShellContext.cs: line 565
    Execution of the following command(s) completed with errors:
    
        c:\Work\devops\powershell\test.ps1
        Out-Default

There are days when my extension can crash 30+ times which is challenging to say the least.

I've completely uninstalled / reinstalled the extension, VS Code etc. but the results remain the same. Thanks!

@buckmuu

yes i confirm that if i try to start a debugging session on another project in the same root folder (C:\Users\us1.COMPANY.IT\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project02\script.ps1) it works.

But if I try on another script in the same parent folder (C:\Users\us1.COMPANY.IT\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project01) it does not work.

From the screenshot, it looks like this other script you're running has some character in the filename that is causing an issue. Basically VSCode will turn it into a URI and then we turn it back into a filepath. Can you share the name of that second script? Or otherwise any non alpha-numeric characters that might be in that filename?

@carsontwilson in your case it sounds like you're hitting a different issue to do with the debug pipe. Would you be able to open a new issue to track that?

[buckmuu]

Hi @rjmholt, I did some additional checks and I try to summarize as clearly as possibile:

• Issue is present only for the scripts under this specific folder C:\Users\US01\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project01.
• All scripts in the problematic folder have this problem..
• All other projects under AzureDevOps repository works correctly.
• All the scripts work well if they are opened by themselves (not opening the whole project folder)
• I have investigate this issue with advanced debugging (WinDbg) and i found this exception (that is the same reported by VSCode:

System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission.EmulateFileIOPermissionChecks (HRESULT) 0x80070057 (2147942487) - The parameter is incorrect.
System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path

• I have identify the problematic path in this

C:\Users\US01\OneDrive - Company Spa\Azure DevOps Repo\Project01\git:\c%3A\Users\US01\OneDrive%20-%20Company%20Spa\Azure%20DevOps%20Repo\Project01\projectfullname\LocalModules\ClassRule.psm1?%7B%22path%22%3A%22c%3A%5C%5CUsers%5C%5CUS01%5C%5COneDrive%20-%20Company%20Spa%5C%5CAzure%20DevOps%20Repo%5C%5CProject01%5C%5Cprojectfullname%5C%5CLocalModules%5C%5CClassRule.psm1%22%2C%22ref%22%3A%22~%22%7D

• This specific path is releated to a breakpoint set on the script.
• I have remove all breakpoints and the debugging session of the script has work correctly.

So, at the moment, i don't have the issue but i haven't able to identify the root cause.
Removing the breakpoints resolve the issue and adding them again, the problem does not appear.

[rjmholt]

Ah that path is the important bit! Looks like you're hitting #1994. I'm working on fixing that currently
