Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
- I have read the troubleshooting guide.
- I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
- I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
- If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.
Summary
Extension works perfectly most of the time in recent months. Today I've noticed weird issue
Where a simple code like this format mostly everything with the exception of lines with Get-Item
$Files = Get-ChildItem -Path $Directory -File -Recurse -Include "*$ExtensionFrom"
foreach ($File in $Files) {
if ($File.Extension -eq $ExtensionFrom) {
if ($OnlyNewerThan -and $File.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-$OnlyNewerThan)) {
#Write-Color -Text '[i]', "[TheDashboard] ", "Skipping $($File.FullName) as it's older than $OnlyNewerThan days" -Color Yellow
continue
}
Write-Color -Text '[i]', "[TheDashboard] ", "Processing fixes $($File.FullName) / $($File.LastWriteTime)" -Color Yellow
# Store original dates
$originalCreationTime = $File.CreationTime
$originalLastWriteTime = $File.LastWriteTime
$Encoding = Get-FileEncoding -Path $File.FullName
$FileContent = Get-Content -Raw -Path $File.FullName -Encoding $Encoding
if ($FileContent -match $SearchString) {
Write-Color -Text '[i]', "[TheDashboard] ", "Processing fixes $($File.FullName) for ($SearchString)" -Color Green
$FileContent -replace $SearchString, $ReplaceString | Set-Content -Path $File.FullName -Encoding $Encoding
# Restore original dates
(Get-Item $File.FullName).CreationTime = $originalCreationTime
(Get-Item $File.FullName).LastWriteTime = $originalLastWriteTime
}
}
}

Trying to format it, leaves it as is, at the same time it formats everything else around it. So it seems there's something special about it.
