PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code February 2023 Update

Sydney Smith

We are excited to announce that the February update to the PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available on the extension marketplace. In this update we rewrote all the symbol logic. Classes (and their properties and methods) are now proper symbols. We now have a single visitor that builds a cached dictionary of symbols for each file instead of a dozen similar-yet-different Abstract Symbol Tree (AST) PowerShell script visitors handling different parts of each symbol-related request. This was a massive simplification of the code that also leads to huge performance improvements across all the symbol...

PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code January 2023 Update

Sydney Smith

We are excited to announce that the January update to the PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available on the extension marketplace. This first stable release for the new year includes a multitude of fixes for the debugger! Expanding variables with properties that are inaccessible no longer causes a short-circuit preventing the rest of the properties from being expanded, variable values whose expansion results in PowerShell code being executed now works as expected, and in general all the correct properties are now present. We look forward to adding the ability to view static and private fields in...

PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code October 2022 Update

Andy Jordan
Andy Jordan

We are excited to announce that the October update to the PowerShell Extension for Visual Studio Code is now available on the extension marketplace. This October stable release incorporates a number of bugfixes throughout September and early October, though is not based on the latest preview, v2022.10.1-preview, as the refactors involved in enabling TypeScript's strict type checking and ESLint's strict linting will need more testing. However, based on the success of the PowerShell Script Analyzer's v1.21.0 release we wanted to get this to you sooner! Updates in the October Release Note that these update...
