Changed hard coded Windows directory separator and resolved path so the slashes are correct.
Throw if resolving file path returns more than one result
Fixes#2610
These changes provide the ability to debug remote running scripts started with the Invoke-Command cmdlet. The design is event based and provides new public events that allow subscribers to be notified when an Invoke-Command remote session is ready for debugging. Since Invoke-Command allows running scripts on multiple targets at once (fan-out) the notification event is raised for each remote session as it becomes ready for debugging. The subscriber to these events will be a script debugger implementation (such as PowerShell console, ISE, or VSCode) and will handle all debugging details such as simultaneously debugging multiple remote sessions at once in separate windows.
But these changes also include an internal implementation which is used by default if host debuggers don't want to handle the debugging details. This internal implementation is what PowerShell console, ISE uses so they can have this new behavior without having to modify their debugger implementations. The internal implementation serializes each remote session of Invoke-Command so that they can be debugged one at a time. The remote session debugger is "pushed" onto the internal debugger stack so that debugging transitions to the remote session. Existing debugging commands work so that the "quit" debugging command will stop the current remote session script from running and allow the next remote session to be debugged. Similarly the "continue" debugging command allows the script to continue running outside step mode and again go to the next remote session for debugging. The "stepout" debugging command steps out of all Invoke-Command remote sessions and lets the script continue to run for each remote session in parallel as they are normally run.
The purpose of Invoke-Command step-in remote debugging is allow seamless debugging of a local script that calls Invoke-Command on remote targets. But there is also a new Invoke-Command "-RemoteDebug" parameter that lets you Invoke-Command on the command line and have it drop directly into the debugger.
An example from the PowerShell command line looks like this:
```
PS C:\> C:\TestICM.ps1
Entering debug mode. Use h or ? for help.
Hit Command breakpoint on 'Invoke-Command'
At C:\TestICM.ps1:2 char:1
+ Invoke-Command -cn $computerName,paulhig-3 -File c:\LinuxScript.ps1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[DBG]: PS C:\>> list
1: $computerName = "localhost"
2:* Invoke-Command -cn $computerName,paulhig-3 -File c:\LinuxScript.ps1
3: "Test Complete!"
[DBG]: PS C:\>> stepin
At line:1 char:1
+ Write-Output "Running script on Linux!"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[paulhig-3]:[DBG]: [Process:14072]: [Runspace5]: PS C:\Users\paulhi\Documents>
```
Notice that the debugger "stepin" command transitioned from local script debugging to debugging the remote session on computer "paulhig-3", as can be seen by the change in the debugger prompt.
You can also do this from the command line to drop directly into the debugger
```
Invoke-Command -cn localhost -Script $scriptblock -RemoteDebug
```
These changes also remove an old behavior that was incompatible with this new step-in feature. Previously if a remote session running script hit a break point it would stop in the debugger and go to the "disconnected session" state. This was to allow the user to reconnect using Enter-PSSession and then interactively debug the remote session script. This behavior has been removed and now the user needs to attach a debugger using the newer Debug-Runspace cmdlet.
When a TypeTable is created it includes the types from type files provided along with references to the type files. When the InitialSessionState (ISS) object processes these types it reads the type files again and ends up with duplicate type entries. PowerShell V5.1 ISS type processing was re-written to improve performance and no longer removes duplicate types, so that this scenario (runspace ISS reuse) results in errors causing a regression.
The fix is to copy only type data when a TypeTable is passed to the ISS.
* Fix GetType() bad pattern and related issues in tests
$var.GetType() can raise an exception in tests so we should check $var
before make the call. A large part of the tests does not make this
check.
I start with searching ".GetType()" but discovered many related issues
in tests (reduntant and unneeded tests, "throw" bad pattens, bugs,
formattings (sorry!) and so on) - I had to fix them too.
* Fix after code review
* Second wave of migration GetType() -> BeOfType
Removed 'GetType().Name' patterns.
* Adding PowerShellHelpFiles package which contains default.help.txt to powershell-win-core
* Adding test case to validate that <pshome>/<culture>/default.help.txt is present. This is done by calling 'Get-Help'
* Updating get-help to skip searching for the help file when the InternalTestHooks.BypassOnlineHelpRetrieval is enable. This way, we force get-help to generate a metadata driven help object, which includes a helpUri that points to the fwlink defined in the cmdlet code.
* Updating get-help -online <cmdletName> tests to not delete the help files. Instead, I've added logic to get-help to not find the help file when the test hook BypassOnlineHelpRetrieval is enable.
* Stifle progress output in build.psm1 for some operations
Modify test failure presentation to use platform available XML methods
* Add timeout support for returning runtime parsing errors
Some of the language/parser tests have been hanging in a non-reproducable manner which
causes the CI system to invalidate the entire run. This change adds support for timeout
which will fail a test if it runs to long, rather than invalidate the entire run.
current behavior is still supported, and is not done in a new session:
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/'
At line:1 char:3
+ 1/
+ ~
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
Adding a timeout will do the operation in a async powershell session
PS> get-runtimeerror -src '1/' -timeout 5
You must provide a value expression following the '/' operator.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExpectedValueExpression
If the operation takes longer than the supplied timeout, a timeout error will be returned
PS> get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
get-runtimeerror : Operation Timed Out ('start-sleep 6')
At line:1 char:1
+ get-runtimeerror -src 'start-sleep 6' -timeout 2
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Get-RuntimeError
* Modify native linux command tests to skip on Windows and pending on Mac
* remove verbose and progress output from help tests
* Be sure that Feature Counter tests only run on Windows
Also, only call add-type in CounterTestHelperFunctions.ps1 if we're going to actually run the tests
* do not run any get-computerinfo tests on non-windows systems
* suppress progress output from PowerShell Get tests
* remove -quiet from API and CRON Builds
Travis watches output from the build to ensure that it hasn't hung
we need to find a balance between too much output and not enough output.
A run which has too much output is killed because it looks like an error loop
A run which has too little output is killed because it looks like a hang
* Remove commented line in Import-Counter.Tests.ps1
Remove extraneous extra line in PowerShellGet.Tests.ps1
* Change `-as "type"` to `-as [type]` in build.psm1
Alter timeout to 10 seconds to be improve chances of not timing out for runtime parser checks
improve logic for counter tests to also skip for IoT
* use the existing function of SkipCounterTests rather than duplicate the logic in import-counter.tests.ps1
* All test reported as skipped if not applicable to the platform

* Fix test after code review
* Move skiping to common 'try'
* Assign $ProgressPreference = "SilentlyContinue" to reduce output size
Travis is still complaining that the log file is too big, eliminating progress is
another step to reducing output. It's also not needed for our CI environment.
* Removed white space at end of lines
* fix misplacement of progress preference setting
also fix up trailing whitespace
Using LanguagePrimitives.ConvertTo (to emulate what would happen if the property were a regular .Net property typed as string), we now convert the value assigned to an XML property to string.
* RFC 0010 SSH remoting cmdlet updates.
* Tweaks to SSH remoting cmdlets
* SSHTransport parameter is now optional instead of mandatory. Aded fix for CoreCLR entry point when hosted in SSH as a subsystem.
* Added tests
* Code review feedback
* Code review comment changes
* Making SSHTransport switch parameter mandatory because otherwise existing Invoke-Command parameter set
* The new SSH parameter set was causing legacy positional based parameters to no longer work. This fix separates the SSH parameter sets from the existing WinRM parameter sets.
* Fixed region name spelling error.
- Updated Restore-PSModule function to delete the PSGetModuleInfo.xml so that this file will not be included in the PowerShell release.
- Since PackageManagement module gets installed with PowerShellGet module, removed PackageManagement module name in Restore-PSModule command invocation.
* Added tests to close code coverage in CIM area
Added CimAdapter.Tests for adaptation layer (code cribbed from BVT tests)
Added SessionOption.Tests.ps1 (Code cribbed from BVT tests)
Modified CimClass tests by adding more tests
Added CimSession.Tests for basic tests of New-CimSession cmdlet
Added CimInstance.Tests for basic tests of Get-CimInstance
* Add CI tags to tests
* unify test execution to use try/catch for marking tests as skipped
moved test which retrieves cimclass via method to feature as it is not
a common operation, this test can take some time as well
In PS Core on windows, we try to locate the default web browser and use it for online help. If we cannot find the default web browser (in NanoServer/IoT), we error out.
Also includes these bugfixes:
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: Tried to load XML from
MemoryStream that was created from file name string. Use XmlReader
instead.
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: Use Path.Combine instead of
platform-specific directory separator character.
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: CmdletHelpPath MAML XML element
attribute `ID` name casing seems inconsistent with other help.xml
files. XPath 1.0 does not support case-insensitive expressions,
use both `id` and `ID` in query.
- Add Pester test to verify that Get-Help shows provider-specific help.
