Add support to experimental features
RFC: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/pull/114
Goals:
Allow experimental features to be declared by PowerShell engine and modules.
Allow experimental features to be enabled via powershell.config.json
Allow Function, Cmdlet, parameters and parameter sets to be shown to the user or hiden from the user depending on whether the associated experimetnal feature is on or off.
Allow discover experimental features using cmdlet Get-ExperimentalFeature
This change merges Jim's fixes with some more I identified that will make the tests more reliable and faster to run.
The changes add functions to wait for the desired state instead of simply waiting a specified period of time, and also speeds up running job script execution time.
* The major refactoring changes are:
- In `ModuleIntrisic.cs`, remove unneeded Windows-PowerShell-only code.
- In `ModuleUtils.cs`
- use the new API `Directory.GetDirectories(string path, string searchPattern, EnumerationOptions enumerationOptions)` and `Directory.GetFiles(string path, string searchPattern, EnumerationOptions enumerationOptions)` to enumerate files and sub-directories within a directory path.
- remove the unused parameter `bool force` from `GetDefaultAvailableModuleFiles(bool force, bool isForAutoDiscovery, ExecutionContext context)`
- refactor the method `GetModuleVersionsFromAbsolutePath`. Add more comments and rename the method name.
- In `ModuleCmdletBase.cs`, refactor the method `GetModuleForNonRootedPaths` to `GetModuleForNames` to simply its implementation.
- In `PSModuleInfo.cs`
- group the declarations of `Declared*Exports` fields together
- rename `_detected*Exports` fields to `Detected*Exports` to group them together. They are internal fields and used outside `PSModuleInfo`.
* There is some perf improvement after this refactoring change:
- For `Get-Module -ListAvailable`, there is about 36% speed improvement for 94 default modules.
- For `Get-Module -ListAvailable -All`, there is about 14% speed improvement for totally 600 module files.
- For `Get-Module <name> -ListAvailable -List`, there is over 17x speed improvement for finding 13 modules from 600 modules. This is because we now filter names using the module file before creating a `PSMdouleInfo` object.
* [FEATURE] Allow Basic Auth over HTTPS
* WSManTransportManager.cs: Simplify HTTPS check
Update comment in test to refer to the right exception type.
* Disable test until limi crash fo selected connection error paths is fixed
* Use Hex format for defining the expected HRESULT
The fix causes a problem in debugging. When stepping over the scripts in debugging mode, the debugger will stop at the switch statement condition expression twice at the very beginning -- one for evaluating the condition, and one for iterating the condition.
Table formatter was overly aggressive in removing padding so even right justified output (default of numbers) gets incorrectly stripped of padding. Fix is when right justified, always add padding (because it's right justified, there's never trailing whitespace).
* Implement location history feature for Set-Location.
This makes it possible to go back to the last directory using 'cd -',
which is exactly the same syntax as on Linux shells.
* Use an existing stack implementation instead of relying on an environment variable and move logic for 'cd -' into the internal class of SessionState.Path.SetLocation
Keep the (additional) setting of an environment for Unix system in case of mixed usage of cd and Set-Location to provide consistency.
* Use a bounded stack with a limit of 1000 and adapt tests.
Remove setting environment variable on Linux as discussed in PR.
* Fix test: use get-location explicitly to avoid subtle difference in the path string (e.g. an additional slash at the end)
Make syntax to .net call of environment consistent with surrounding code
* Move initialization of _workingLocationHistoryStack into constructor of SessionStateInternal and set the limit to 20 as discussed in PR 5051.
* Make new BoundedStack class in engine utils internal
* Fix error when using Get-ChildItem c:
* Fix New-Item test issue.
* Add tests for Get-ChildItem cmdlet.
* Add tests for New-Item cmdlet.
* Fix tests for New-Item cmdlet.
* Fix for #4520 '-ArgumentList should accept @() or $null'
Removed the [ValidateIsNotNulOrEmpty] attribute from the parameter.
* Fixed null and @() empty list tests to not both test null
* [Feature] Fixed test issue on non-Windows; added code to suppress displaying new windows on Windows.
Measure-Object should handle `ScriptBlock` properties. Fixed by renaming `MshExpression` to `PSPropertyExpression` and making it public. Then in `MeasureObjectCommand`, lifting it up to the parameter level. Previously the implementation exposed the Property as a string and
wrapped it internally as a `PSPropertyExpression`. Now the parameter type is `PSPropertyExpression` directly allowing for both wildcard strings and `ScriptBlock`.
`PSPropertyExpression` now lives in a public namespace where it can be used by cmdlet and script authors to easily add the same type of functionality to their commands. I also modified `PSPropertyExpression` to handle hashtables properly as objects so
@{prop = 3} | measure-object prop
and
@{prop = 3} | measure-object {$_.prop}
will work the same. (Previously the example using just the property name would fail.)
Dynamic (DLR) objects work in some places today, but not others. This change expands that support to ForEach-Object, Where-Object and the family of cmdlets that use 'MshExpression' (Select-Object, etc.).
This change addresses both wildcard and non-wildcard cases. In wildcard cases, it uses the existing support of generating PSDynamicMember objects for names returned by GetDynamicMemberNames.
In non-wildcard cases, a dynamic property access is attempted whether or not the name shows up in GetDynamicMemberNames, but a truly "blind" access is only attempted if we see that the base object is an IDMOP. If the dynamic access fails, you'll get the same or a similar error experience as before ("The property 'Blarg' cannot be found", or no error at all, depending on the cmdlet and the strict mode setting).
The included test coverage includes a stub for the.ForEach operator--once people are happy with this change, I can continue by adding support there.
This change should allegedly also have positive perf impact, though in actual perf testing, although it does seem ever-so-slightly faster, I found it difficult to measure much difference at all.
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.
