Powershell extension crashing randomly

[wrsbrewerton]

Issue Type: Performance Issue

Hello

Apolgies, I cannot really say how to reproduce, but while working in VSCode using the PoweShell extension, the integrated terminal will show and error saying PowerShell has terminated and do I wish to restart it

Sometimes it seems to happen even without my changing or running anything, simply highlighting content in an unsaved file can sometimes trigger it

I did turn diagnostic level logging on to try and capture useful information

I can see the error at the end of the 'EditorServices.log' but I cannot comprehend thae cause behind it

My setup is

Windows 10 Enterprise 1803
VSCode 1.30.2 (user setup)
PowerShell extension version 1.10.2

If I can provide anything further please let me know

Many thanks

@wrsbrewerton thanks for reporting this and including the logs. I was just giving them a look and noticed that your file was called "Untitled-7" I am wondering if this was a file name you had saved or if the file you were working on had not yet been saved when you started crashing?

Hi,
Just want to let you know, that I'm seeing the same behavior. This morning, I have been using VSCode for Powershell for half an hour without any problem. Suddenly VSCode is crashing a couple of times.
In this case I didn't had any unsaved documents opened. I had 3 files opened - .ps1, .txt and .csv.

I found the attached exception in the log.

@kongsted Do you have files on a network share? Cause the error I'm seeing is:

System.IO.IOException: An unexpected network error occurred.

I am also having regular crashes of the Powershell extension, many times without any interaction with the window.

Extension version: 1.10.2
VS Code version: Code 1.30.2
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763

I've enabled Verbose logging, where do I find the log files to be able to send in any errors.

Yes, it's correct it's on a network-share. But I don't have any problems with that share in any other cases (there's is 1000+ users connected to the share, so I believe I would have heard if it didn't work ;) ).

@brianmccarty you can finde the log-files here
c:\users<username>.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-\logs
Then order by date, and find the folder needed.

I just had a new crash very soon after opening VScode and starting a new file
Grabbed the log files again as it was a fresh set with the crash happening quite quickly after launching there will hopefully be less noise in them....

here's how to get logs

[rjmholt]

I get the impression that most in this thread are seeing #1683 (#1695 seems to be the same issue as well).

In @kongsted's case, it looks like there's a crash occurring when we try to enumerate files on a network share. There's not much specific to go on there, but I'm guessing that when we eagerly recursively enumerate the filesystem we hit funny bits that users aren't. Either way, that should be easily defended against by catching an IOException here — unclear to me why we don't already.

[SydneyhSmith]

While we are working to merge in #862 to fix this it would also be helpful if you all updated to the latest version of the extension to test if the updates so far have helped!

[wrsbrewerton]

So I've been running 1.11.0 since it became available and I have not had any repeat behaviour so far, has been solid

HTH

[kongsted]

An update - have been running with 1.11.0 for a couple of days now.
The problem happens not as often as before, but it just crashed for me (after more than an hour working in VScode). Error-code:
`2019-01-29 12:00:45.695 [ERROR] tid:51 in 'OnListenTaskCompleted' C:\PowerShellEditorServices\src\PowerShellEditorServices.Protocol\MessageProtocol\ProtocolEndpoint.cs: line 391
