Cannot start powershell 6 in debug on vscode

[LazerFX]

Trying to run pwsh.exe as a debug environment does not work in vscode. The terminal starts, but appears to disconnect from the environment immediately. Looking at the logs, I see:

1/18/2019 11:10:56 AM [NORMAL] - Language server starting --
1/18/2019 11:10:56 AM [NORMAL] -     exe: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6\pwsh.exe

1/18/2019 11:11:00 AM [NORMAL] - powershell.exe terminated or terminal UI was closed

Attempting to run the command manually, I get the following output:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> & 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6\pwsh.exe' C:\Users\pstreet\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.10.2\modules\PowerShellEditorServices\Start-EditorServices.ps1 -HostName 'Visual Studio Code Host' -HostProfileId 'Microsoft.VSCode' -HostVersion '1.10.2' -AdditionalModules @('PowerShellEditorServices.VSCode') -BundledModulesPath 'C:\Users\pstreet\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.10.2\modules' -EnableConsoleRepl -LogLevel 'Normal' -DebugServiceOnly -LogPath 'C:\Users\pstreet\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.10.2\logs\1547804527-4208a79f-0b41-47bb-a104-75bf366ab1ec1547804506522\DebugSession-1.log' -SessionDetailsPath 'C:\Users\pstreet\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.10.2\sessions\PSES-VSCode-14592-Debug' -FeatureFlags @()

+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Start-EditorServices.ps1], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : MissingArgument,Start-EditorServices.ps1

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

This also fails if I use powershell.exe as the source, that also wants a string rather than an array.

Once I remove the -FeatureFlags @() section of the command, I get a comman line with PowerShell Integrated Terminal that apparently does nothing (I suspect because it's told to receive and pipe its output externally).

I just realised I'd already raised a bug-report in this repo for a previous issue (#1658 ) which may or may not be related... it's a completely different failure, but if there's an underlying problem it may be related.

[LazerFX]

I have identified the issue - this is a problem with VS Code Live Share - when I disable that extension, the problem goes away.

Not sure where to raise this - on that repo or here?

[TylerLeonhardt]

@LazerFX is this what you're seeing:

microsoft/live-share#1216

[LazerFX]

It is indeed - already reported, thanks for the heads up. I missed that when searching, sorry for the inconvenience.

For those reading elsewhere, this is fixed in microsoft/vscode#61649 which will has a patch already in progress.
