- Adds `LanguagePrimitives.IsNullLike()` method to account for `DBNull.Value` and `NullString.Value` so that they can be considered the same as a null value where sensible in PowerShell.
- Updates `-ne` and `-eq` binders to treat `DBNull.Value` and `NullString.Value` as equal to null/AutomationNull.
- Update code paths for comparing objects in LanguagePrimitives to ensure consistency with how the `-eq` and `-ne` binders work when calling LanguagePrimitives methods to do the comparisons.
- Make `LanguagePrimitives.IsNull()` and `LanguagePrimitives.IsNullLike()` public methods.
- Added tests for null behaviours in `NullRepresentatives.Tests.ps1`
This PR does 4 things:
* Adds a new cmdlet `New-PSBreakpoint` which creates new `Breakpoint` objects and writes them to the pipeline
* Adds a `-Breakpoint` parameter to `Debug-Runspace` which will receive `Breakpoint` objects
* Makes the constructors for `*Breakpoint` public for use with the API
* Makes `Debugger.GetBreakpoint(string id)` and `Debugger.GetBreakpoints()` public since `SetBreakpoints` is public
Note: `New-PSBreakpoint` and `Set-PSBreakpoint` (which already exists) are similar... but `Set-PSBreakpoint` also sets the breakpoints in the _current_ runspace. This is not ideal if we want to set breakpoints in a _different runspace than the current one_.
## PR Context
The "Attach to process" debugging experience in the PowerShell extension for VSCode is _ok_ but it's not great.
The reason it's not great is due to the `BreakAll` feature of PowerShell debugging which, when you run `Debug-Runspace`, will break at the first piece of code that gets run. This is not ideal when you "Attach to process" _and then_ run your code in the other runspace.
Today, the experience drops you in `PSReadLine`'s psm1 if PSRL is available or in the vscode PowerShell helper psm1.
It's unexpected for the user and not ideal.
This PR will allow the extension to pass in the breakpoints that need to be set initially with `BreakAll` turned off for none of this silly behavior.
### Silly behavior example
If you want a repro, try this:
PowerShell instance 1:
```
Enter-PSHostProcess -Id $otherprocesspid
Debug-Runspace 1
```
PowerShell instance 2:
```
./runfoo.ps1
```
Note that you end up NOT `runfoo.ps1`
Major changes are:
- Make all commands return 'ConfirmImpact.None' if `SupportsShouldProcess` is not set to `true`.
- Update some cmdlets to explicitly use `ConfirmImpact.Low`.
- Update `DefaultCommands.Tests.ps1` to test for 'ConfirmImpact' level.
[breaking change]
Major changes are as follows:
- Add `Enable-ExperimentalFeature` and `Disable-ExperimentalFeature` cmdlets.
- Remove `-ListAvailable` from `Get-ExperimentalFeature`.
- Add `ArgumentCompleter` for `Get-ExperimentalFeature` cmdlet.
- Refactor some existing Experimental Feature tests.
- Make `ConfigScope` public and renamed `SystemWide` to `AllUsers`. Also update experimental feature code to prefer the current user config over the all user config.
Major changes are as follows:
- Avoid `SecuritySupport.IsProductBinary` and unnecessary AMSI/suspicious code scan at startup time
- Update `CompiledScriptBlockData.IsProductCode` to avoid unnecessary calls to `IsProductBinary`, which attempts to retrieve catalog signature of the target file.
- Update `PerformSecurityChecks` to skip AMSI and suspicious code scan for the `.psd1` file that contains a safe `HashtableAst` only.
- Use customized `ReadOnlyBag` instead of `ImmutableHashSet` so that we can avoid loading the `System.Collections.Immutable.dll` completely.
- Replace `SHA1` with `CRC32` when generating module analysis cache file name
- This remove the loading of `System.Security.Cryptography.Algorithms.dll` at startup
- Move `ConvertFrom-SddlString` to C# to remove the `Utility.psm1` file.
- Crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation
- Even pwsh with crossgen assemblies spends a lot time in jitting at the startup, about `191.6ms` comparing with `24.7ms` for Windows PowerShell.
- Jitting `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` takes about `51.6ms`.
- By crossgen `Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.dll` and enable tiered compilation, the jitting time drops to about `98.9ms`.
There a some differences in support of named pipes for Windows and non-Windows. Named pipes on Unix have a 104 character path limit. On macOS, the `$env:TMPDIR` (on my system) is already 49 characters; corefx adds 12 more. Since AppDomainName isn't really used, changed it from `DefaultAppDomain` to `None` to shorten the name. Need to keep it since Windows PowerShell expects it. Changed `starttime` part of pipe name to 8 hex characters which is to provide uniqueness to the pipe name.
PowerShell serialization has a list of known PowerShell types. When an object is deserialized containing a known type it tries to deserialize the object to that specific type and throws an exception if it can't succeed. SemanticVersion only exists in PSCore6 so when remoting from Windows PowerShell or importing clixml generated from PSCore6 that contains SemanticVersion, it fails.
With this fix, it will be rehydrated as a "PSObject" with "Deseriealized.System.Management.Automation.SemanticVersion" in the 'TypeNames' in both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core.
Convert ShouldBeErrorId to Should -Throw -ErrorId in PowerShell tests.
Get rid of try { } catch { } formula to assert that errors were thrown.
Small fixes in tests to obey the new Pester -Parameter syntax.
The Test-Connection cmdlet works on Windows and Unix.
Implemented:
Ping
Continues Ping
Traceroute
Detect MTU size (seems don't work on Unix because of .Net Core issue)
Connect to TCP port
Not jet implemented:
I'm putting this off for the future.
Detect blackhole routers
PingPath
Additional considerations
As you can see in the tests .Net Core has issues in API implementation. As a result, some tests are skipped on Unix. There is also one issue on Windows. Related comments added to tests.
I'm going to open an issue(s) in CoreFX repo.
I think we should break the feedback into two parts:
scripting functionality
interactive functionality (display output)
Now I have implemented the output to the screen as the progress bar and as text (without ETS) - we have to decide what is best to use.
