Drop support for PowerShell <7.4 and logging overhaul

PowerShell 7.2 LTS and 7.3 are now past end-of-support and are now unsupported. This is an incompatible API change so we're bumping the major version. Please update to PowerShell 7.4 LTS going forward.

This release contains a logging overhaul which purposely removes our dependency on Serilog and should lead to improved stability with PowerShell 5.1 (by avoiding a major GAC assembly conflict).

In the PR below we rewrote all the symbol logic. Classes (and their properties and methods) are now proper symbols. Instead of a dozen similar-yet-different Abstract Symbol Tree (AST) PowerShell script visitors handling different parts of each symbol-related request, we have a single visitor that builds a cached dictionary of symbols for each file. This was a massive simplification of the code that also leads to huge performance improvements across all the symbol related features:

• Go to Symbol in Workspace
• Go to Symbol in Editor
• Go to Definition
• Go to References / CodeLens
• Outline view

Please try it out and give us feedback! There's plenty of room for more improvement, and this will be much easier going forward.

v3.0.0

Thursday, October 28, 2021

This preview release includes a complete overhaul of the core PowerShell engine of PowerShell Editor Services. This represents over a year's work, tracked in PSES #1295 and implemented in PSES #1459, and is our answer to many, many issues opened by users over the last few years. We're hoping you'll see a marked improvement in the reliability, performance and footprint of the extension as a result.

Previously the Integrated Console was run by setting threadpool tasks on a shared main runspace, and where LSP servicing was done with PowerShell idle events. This lead to overhead, threading issues and a complex implementation intended to work around the asymmetry between PowerShell as a synchronous, single-threaded runtime and a language server as an asynchronous, multi-threaded service.

Now, PowerShell Editor Services maintains its own dedicated pipeline thread, which is able to service requests similar to JavaScript's event loop, meaning we can run everything synchronously on the correct thread. We also get more efficiency because we can directly call PowerShell APIs and code written in C# from this thread, without the overhead of a PowerShell pipeline.

This change has overhauled how we service LSP requests, how the Integrated Console works, how PSReadLine is integrated, how debugging is implemented, how remoting is handled, and a long tail of other features in PowerShell Editor Services.

Also, in making it, while 6,000 lines of code were added, we removed 12,000, for a more maintainable, more efficient and easier to understand extension backend.

While most of our testing has been re-enabled (and we're working on adding more), there are bound to be issues with this new implementation. Please give this a try and let us know if you run into anything.

We also want to thank @SeeminglyScience for his help and knowledge as we've made this migration.

Finally, a crude breakdown of the work from the commits:

• An initial dedicated pipeline thread consumer implementation
• Implement the console REPL
• Implement PSRL idle handling
• Implement completions
• Move to invoking PSRL as a C# delegate
• Implement cancellation and Ctrl+C
• Make F8 work again
• Ensure execution policy is set correctly
• Implement $PROFILE support
• Make nested prompts work
• Implement REPL debugging
• Implement remote debugging in the REPL
• Hook up the debugging UI
• Implement a new concurrent priority queue for PowerShell tasks
• Reimplement the REPL synchronously rather than on its own thread
• Really get debugging working...

v2.0.0-preview.1

Wednesday, January 23, 2019

Preview builds of PowerShell Editor Services are now available

What the first preview contains

The v2.0.0-preview.1 version of the extension is built on .NET Standard (enabling support for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core from one assembly)

It also contains PSReadLine support in the integrated console for Windows behind a feature flag. PSReadLine provides a consistent and rich interactive experience, including syntax coloring and multi-line editing and history, in the PowerShell console, in Cloud Shell, and now in VSCode terminal. For more information on the benefits of PSReadLine, check out their documentation.

To enable PSReadLine support in the Preview version on Windows, please add the following flag to your Start-EditorServices.ps1 call:

-FeatureFlags @('PSReadLine')

HUGE thanks to @SeeminglyScience for all his amazing work getting PSReadLine working in PowerShell Editor Services!

Friday, June 9, 2017

Notice of new internal redesign (#484, #488, #489)

This release marks the start of a major redesign of the core PowerShell Editor Services APIs, PSHost implementation, and service model. Most of these changes will be transparent to the language and debugging services so there shouldn't be any major breaking changes.

The goal is to quickly design and validate a new extensibility model that allows IFeatureProvider implementations to extend focused feature components which could be a part of PowerShell Editor Services or another extension module. As we progress, certain features may move out of the core Editor Services module into satellite modules. This will allow our functionality to be much more flexible and provide extensions with the same set of capabilities that built-in features have.

We are moving toward a 2.0 release of the core PowerShell Editor Services APIs over the next few months once this new design has been validated and stabilized. We'll produce updated API documentation as we move closer to 2.0.

New document symbol and CodeLens features (#490, #497, #498)

As part of our new extensibility model work, we've added two new components which follow the new "feature and provider" model which we'll be moving all other features to soon.

The IDocumentSymbols feature component provides a list of symbols for a given document. It relies on the results provided by a collection of IDocumentSymbolProvider implementations which can come from any module. We've added the following built-in IDocumentSymbolProvider implementations:

• ScriptDocumentSymbolProvider: Provides symbols for function and command definitions in .ps1 and .psm1 files
• PsdDocumentSymbolProvider: Provides symbols for keys in .psd1 files
• PesterDocumentSymbolProvider: Provides symbols for Describe, Context, and It blocks in Pester test scripts

We took a similar approach to developing an ICodeLenses feature component which retrieves a list of CodeLenses which get displayed in files to provide visible actions embedded into the code. We used this design to add the following built-in ICodeLensProvider implementations:

• ReferencesCodeLensProvider: Shows CodeLenses like "3 references" to indicate the number of references to a given function or command
• PesterCodeLensProvider: Shows "Run tests" and "Debug tests" CodeLenses on Pester Describe blocks in test script files allowing the user to easily run and debug those tests

Note that the ICodeLensProvider and IDocumentSymbolProvider interfaces are not fully stable yet but we encourage you to try using them so that you can give us your feedback!

Added a new PowerShellEditorServices.Commands module (#487, #496)

We've added a new Commands module that gets loaded inside of PowerShell Editor Services to provide useful functionality when the $psEditor API is available.

Thanks to our new co-maintainer Patrick Meinecke, we've gained a new set of useful commands for interacting with the $psEditor APIs within the Integrated Console:

• Find-Ast
• Get-Token
• ConvertFrom-ScriptExtent
• ConvertTo-ScriptExtent
• Set-ScriptExtent
• Join-ScriptExtent
• Test-ScriptExtent
• Import-EditorCommand

Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices API removals (#492)

We've removed the following classes and interfaces which were previously considered public APIs in the core Editor Services assembly:

• ConsoleService and IConsoleHost: We now centralize our host interface implementations under the standard PSHostUserInterface design.
• IPromptHandlerContext: We no longer have the concept of "prompt handler contexts." Each PSHostUserInterface implementation now has one way of displaying console-based prompts to the user. New editor window prompting APIs will be added for the times when a UI is needed.
• Logger: now replaced by a new non-static ILogger instance which can be requested by extensions through the IComponentRegistry.

Introduced a new documentation site

• We have launched a new documentation site for this project on GitHub Pages. This documentation provides both a user guide and .NET API documentation pages that are generated directly from our code documentation. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Added a new cross-editor extensibility model

• We've added a new extensibility model which allows you to write PowerShell code to add new functionality to Visual Studio Code and other editors with a single API. If you've used $psISE in the PowerShell ISE, you'll feel right at home with $psEditor. Check out the documentation for more details!

Support for user and system-wide profiles

• We've now introduced the $profile variable which contains the expected properties that you normally see in powershell.exe and powershell_ise.exe:
  • AllUsersAllHosts
  • AllUsersCurrentHost
  • CurrentUserAllHosts
  • CurrentUserCurrentHost
• Each editor integration can specify what their host-specific profile filename should be. If no profile name has been specified a default of PowerShellEditorServices_profile.ps1 is used.
• Profiles are not loaded by default when PowerShell Editor Services is used. This behavior may change in the future based on user feedback.
• Editor integrations can also specify their name and version for the $host.Name and $host.Version properties so that script authors have a better idea of where their code is being used.

Other improvements

• $env variables now have IntelliSense complete correctly (#206).
• The debug adapter now does not crash when you attempt to add breakpoints for files that have been moved or don't exist (#195).
• Fixed an issue preventing output from being written in the debugger if you don't set a breakpoint before running a script.
• Debug adapter now doesn't crash when rendering an object for the variables view if ToString throws an exception.

Support for PowerShell v3 and v4

• Support for PowerShell v3 and v4 is now complete! Note that for this release, Script Analyzer support has been disabled for PS v3 and v4 until we implement a better strategy for integrating it as a module dependency

Debugging improvements

• Added support for command breakpoints
• Added support for conditional breakpoints
• Improved the debug adapter startup sequence to handle new VS Code debugging features

Other improvements

• using 'module' now resolves relative paths correctly, removing a syntax error that previously appeared when relative paths were used
• Calling Read-Host -AsSecureString or Get-Credential from the console now shows an appropriate "not supported" error message instead of crashing the language service. Support for these commands will be added in a later release.

0.4.0

Monday, February 8, 2016

Debugging improvements

• A new Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Host.x86.exe executable has been added to enable 32-bit PowerShell sessions on 64-bit machines (thanks @adamdriscoll!)
• You can now pass arguments to scripts in the debugger with the LaunchRequest.Args parameter (thanks @rkeithhill!)
• You can also set the working directory where the script is run by setting the LaunchRequest.Cwd parameter to an absolute path (thanks @rkeithhill!)

Console improvements

• Improved PowerShell console output formatting and performance

  • The console prompt is now displayed after a command is executed
  • Command execution errors are now displayed correctly in more cases
  • Console output now wraps at 120 characters instead of 80 characters
  • Console output is now buffered to reduce the number of OutputEvent messages sent from the host to the editor

• Added choice and input prompt support. Prompts can be shown either through the console or natively in the editor via the powerShell/showInputPrompt and powerShell/showChoicePrompt requests.

New host command line parameters

• /logLevel:<level>: Sets the log output level for the host. Possible values: Verbose, Normal, Warning, or Error.
• /logPath:<path>: Sets the output path for logs written while the host is running

Other improvements

• Initial work has been done to ensure support for PowerShell v3 and v4 APIs by compiling against the PowerShell reference assemblies that are published on NuGet. (thanks @adamdriscoll!)
• Initial WebSocket channel support (thanks @adamdriscoll!)
• Removed Nito.AsyncEx dependency
