Run Powershell generates "Running the contributed command: 'Powershell.Debug.Start' Failed

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.

Summary

I initially posted this in the Azure Data Studio forum, that is the only place I am seeing this, within VS Code it is working.

When running a Powershell file if I want to run the entire file it generates this error:
"Running the contributed command: 'Powershell.Debug.Start' failed.

I can highlight all the content and use the "run selected" command and that works
I can put the content in a notebook cell and that works, just when I open a file and try to run the entire file without highlighting.

I have tried this on a few computers (co-workers, virtual machines, etc), so I'm pretty sure it is not something with my installation.

Hey, the last validated extension that Azure Data Studio accepted was v2021.2.2, but your bug report indicates that you're running v2021.8.0. This isn't really supported. @Charles-Gagnon, do you know what's up? How is this user running a non-bundled version of the extension?

Also, @rjmholt is vaguely aware that debugging in ADS is not supported, so this seems like it's failing as expected.

[Charles-Gagnon]

@brenttempleton How did you install the extension?

It's likely they just installed the VSIX manually - the ADS gallery does still only point to 2021.2.2.

Debugging in ADS is disabled currently so that won't work unfortunately if you're relying on the VS Code debugging API. We're working on re-enabling that but no ETA currently.

I have tried with older version of the extension as well, manually installed newer to see if that worked. If debug is not supported, should still be able to run the script file without having to highlight all the text and then run selected (F8) Thanks Brent

Launching the script file is still done through the debugging APIs of VS Code, so since ADS disables that, it's not supported.

[brenttempleton]

hmm, okay -- I guess this is now a feature request. would that go into this forum or back on the ADS one? Thanks Brent

ADS, for enabling debugging in their editor. What you're looking to do should work just fine in normal Visual Studio Code with the regular PowerShell extension installed from the marketplace.
