Update the task-based async APIs added to PowerShell to not use the `aysnc/await` keywords, but to return a `Task` object directly.
There is nothing to continue on after the `Task.Factory.FromAsync` call in those methods, so there is not need to use `aysnc` and `await` keywords, which turns the method into a state machine class unnecessarily.
This removes some of the last mentions of the AppVeyor name. Don't change the title, we don't want the word to appear in the CLs
Also problem: the last references are in the changelogs but I don't want to modify them without committee approval.
## PR Context
it was removed, #8686
Fix for #6741 Allow .exe files to be used as binary modules. Basically anywhere a .dll could be used with modules, you can now use a .exe file. Also did a little clean up, replacing constant strings with the StringLiteral values instead.
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.
Consolidation of all Windows PowerShell work ported to PSCore6
* Added ps1 file import restriction. Refactored InvokeLanguageModeTestingSupportCmdlet to HelpersSecurity module
* JEA loop back fix. Debugger running commands in CL mode.
* Support for new AMSI codes. Changed to use AMSI buffer API. Unhandled exception fix.
* Fixes for module bugs while running in ConstrainedLanguage mode
* Untrusted input tracking work
* Configuration keyword bug fix, PSRP protocol version check for reconstruct reconnect, Sharing InitialSessionState in runspace pool.
* Restricted remote session in UMCI, Applocker detection collision, Help command exposing functions, Null reference exception fix.
* Added mitigation for debugger function exposure
The root cause is that `OutputBuffer` is not cleaned up (set to `null`) in `Stop` and `BeginStop/EndStop` when the powershell instance owns the `OutputBuffer` object. Since the pipeline has been intentionally stopped by the caller, the `OutputBuffer` should be set to `null` as well when it's owned by the PowerShell instance, just like how it's cleaned up in `EndInvoke`.
Fixes#7230.
Adding the concept of a PSSyntheticTypeName, derived from PSTypeName,
that extends it with a list of synthetic members.
This allows us to express the inferred type of
```
[pscustomobject] @{
A = 1
B = "2"
}
```
as a "PSObject#A:B" and with information about the types of A and B.
This is also used to annotate the output of
```
Select-Object -Property
Select-Object -ExcludeProperty
Select-Object -ExpandProperty
```
Finally, it adds information about the types of the
`Group` and `Value` properties of the output of `Group-Object`
This change updates ModuleIntrinsics.GetModulePath to handle the case where the Windows PowerShell module path is already in the environment's PSModulePath or when launched from a different version of PowerShell.
Previously, GetModulePath would append $PSHOME\Modules to the PSModulePath after removing the path for the launching version without considering the Windows PowerShell module path. The result, was the Windows PowerShell modules were found first and loaded incompatible modules; such as the built-in modules.
The change detects the Windows PowerShell module path and inserts $PSHOME\Modules path before it. The new test simulates launching from a different version of pwsh that has already added the Windows PowerShell module path.
Fixes#7679
Remove code from build.psm1 that save the modules to a versioned folder. For servicing reasons after release it is preferred and easier to not have the versioned folder so that we can directly replace modules that need to be serviced (MSI specifically makes it difficult to service a module if the folder path changes).
- Formatting file should be used for `MarkdownOptionInfo` object instead of the types file for adding script property.
- Downlevel windows consoles which do not support VT100 escape sequences should be handled gracefully.
- Add helpuri fwlink for cmdlets.
- Make `-Path` a positional parameter for `ConvertFrom-Markdown`
- make `-InputObject` a positional parameter for `Set-MarkdownOption`
- Add `%WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules` (Windows PowerShell $PSHOME) to the end of the default PSCore 6 module path (i.e. the module path as initially set at startup).
- Cause an error to be thrown by `Import-Module` when a module with `CompatiblePSEditions` not containing `"Core"` is being loaded from the 'System32' module path.
- Suppress output of modules listed by `Get-Module -ListAvailable` from Windows PowerShell $PSHOME when `CompatiblePSEditions` does not contain `"Core"`.
- Introduce the `-SkipCompatibilityCheck` switch parameter on both `Import-Module` and `Get-Module` to respectively allow importing incompatible modules and listing incompatible modules.
- Adds a `PSEdition` column to the `PSModuleInfo` table view format.
- Ensures that completions are not given for incompatible modules on the System32 module path.
