Start-Transcript in Integrated Terminal does not capture all output

[johnwildes]

Issue Type: Bug

I have a powershell profile configured on my workstation. When I launch PowerShell Core 6.2.1 outside of VSCode it loads my profile. Part of this profile is start-transcript. When this runs in the PowerShell cmd window outside of VSCode all output is logged to the transcript as expected.

When the same profile is loaded in the VS integrated terminal window, the only thing that gets logged are the commands typed at the prompt and none of the output.

In this specific case I was running Terraform operations, and wanted to review previous histories, and found that it was not saving it in the transcript. If I run Terraform operations from the normal PowerShell cmd window, all that output is saved.

I've attached the PowerShell transcript file, as well as a graphical output of what should have been in that file from the integrated terminal window

I've attached the PowerShell transcript file, as well as a graphical output of what should have been in that file from the integrated terminal window

Can you pls attach the files? Thanks!

[Tyriar]

Also does the terminal dropdown say "powershell" or "PowerShell Integrated Console"?

[johnwildes]

@Tyriar the terminal says "pwsh"

@kieferrm Sorry I attached these files last week but then Github blocked my account as "spam" 😂 let me know if they don't attach again

What you see above (in the graphic) is the ouptut in the terminal window of VSCODE, and WHAT SHOULD BE in the attached transcript file, but is not.

[Tyriar]

@TylerLeonhardt any idea what's happening here? The command output isn't showing up in pwsh

[TylerLeonhardt]

@johnwildes I’d like to get a smaller repro as I don’t have terraform expertise. Can you see if this behavior repros with an in-box native utility… like maybe where.exe or net.exe?

[johnwildes]

@TylerLeonhardt I've attached a screenshot that shows running a terraform init, and none of the output is there. In the same shell I ran a net use a dir and a get-module -listavailable | more , all output from those is correctly captured.

Sorry, should have just clicked comment...re-opening.

[johnwildes]

@TylerLeonhardt to answer your question, it DOES NOT repro with an inbox utility. That information seems to output correctly.

[johnwildes]

@TylerLeonhardt attached here is a transcript run in the actual Powershell Window, and the terraform commands and output are captured along with the native cmds.
