Issue Description

When I run New-EditorFile, a new file is created, but I also get an error message:

Thanks for this! Interesting. Does that error happen when you run:

$psEditor.GetEditorContext()

In the integrated console?

[Benny1007]

Does for me

I can repro if I comment out "files.defaultLanguage": "powershell" from my settings.

@tylerl0706 there's an overload on openTextDocument that allows you to specify what language the new text document should be. If we just always set that to powershell it should resolve the issue.

_{btw this is probably a good one for the Hackathon :)}

[TylerLeonhardt]

Perfect for the hackathon!

[TylerLeonhardt]

Thanks for the report everyone!

[alexandair]

$psEditor.GetEditorContext() works on my machine without a problem. New-EditorFile still fails.

[TylerLeonhardt]

@alexandair, right if you have a PowerShell file open, and you run that, it should work. New-editorfile creates a new file, so if that file is not a PowerShell file, that call will error out.

[TylerLeonhardt]

This only seems to happen with Untitled files... because:

Get-Process | New-EditorFile -Path foo.txt

works fine.

[Benny1007]

I can't reproduce this with the latest version of the extension.

[TylerLeonhardt]

Ah yes this was fixed in #1580. We can close this. Thanks!
