Temporary integrated consoles stuck waiting for key press

[ohaak2]

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

With vscode version 1.66.2 and PowerShell extension v2022.5.0 I'm suddenly unable to start any PowerShell session, if the powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole parameter is set to 'true'.

PowerShell session isn't even started in run mode. It's just hanging somewhere before actually processing any custom code. No code will be executed, no breakpoint reached. I can reproduce the isse even with a single file containing 'hello world' output.

Switching this setting to 'false' and everything is fine.

I have the same Problem. It started when switching from Preview to Productive Extension. And I can't get rid of it by switching back to preview. Using WinPS 5.1 here, vscode 1.66.2 , ps ext 2022.5.0. Never had this problem before with all previous preview versions up to and including 2022.4.3. Reverting back to preview 2022.4.3 now does not fix the problem.
PS: Hitting Return in the terminal after F5 starts the debugger. Ctrl F5 is also affected. F10 after breakpoint is also affected.

[pwahlmueller]

Same here.
Disabling all other extensions, all profiles and all settings did not help either.

[andyleejordan]

I think I know what's going on here. As a workaround, when the temporary console is created, can you press a key in it (any key, enter is fine) to let it start?

[ohaak2]

@andschwa Yes, indeed. It's like @Hetshu already commented.

That way the script will be executed in run mode or I will hit the first breakpoint in debug mode, but going on from there with F10 or F11 will each also require a key stroke in the terminal.

[andyleejordan]

Sorry about that! We'll get it fixed right away.

[ohaak2]

@andschwa Awesome - thanks! Would be lost without your magnificent work here!

[andyleejordan]

We'd be lost without our users and your prompt and specific bug reports!

[andyleejordan]

Good news: I have a fix underway that seems to be working! Getting PRs up now, will have this in preview for testing ASAP!

[andyleejordan]

@ohaak2, @Hetshu, @pwahlmueller: Just published v2022.5.1-preview with a fix for this. Will be on the marketplace shortly! Please give it a test for me.

[ohaak2]

@andschwa Just switched my vscode to use the preview. Looks good - your fix seems to work. Good work - Thx!

[andyleejordan]

Awesome, thanks so much for the verification!

[Hetshu]

Yes worked for me too, thanks for the fast fixing
