$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop' not showing the ERROR

[ohenrikh]

Hi
$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop'
in vscode causes the script to stop without throwing the ERROR code to Display when running with F5.

eg:
Script:
$ErrorActionPreference = 'stop'
write-WrongCommandLine "foo"
Write-Host 'Hello World'

Output vscode:
nothing, but the script stops as wanted
Output ISE and wanted
write-WrongCommandLine : The term 'write-WrongCommandLine' is not recognized as the name of a cmdle….
and the script stops

Sounds like what I ran into in #2565. Are you running the stable extension?

[ohenrikh]

Yes stable ver 5.1

Can you give this a go in the PowerShell Preview extension? This should be fixed in that.

You can still use whatever version of PowerShell you'd like. This is the Preview build of the vs code extension.

the preview Works as I liked 👍

[TylerLeonhardt]

Great! I'll close this now since it's just pending a new release of the stable extension
