not using the Legacy Psreadline experience leads to "custom key handler"-error

[DEberhardt]

Type: Bug

Install PSReadline v2.2.6
Use VsCode
Use PowerShell or PowerShellPreview
Use PowerShell Extension terminal session that is opened to you

[2022-10-02 11:09:22]❯ get-moduleAn exception occurred in custom key handler, see $error for more information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

No command I enter (incl. $Error[0].Exception) leads anywhere.

If I then disable the live PSreadline experience (i.e. switch on the "legacy PSreadline experience" in the settings and restart the terminal session, it works fine.

Problem #1) - I can't close the terminal session as it de-facto disables the extensions
Problem #2) - I can't use it in legacy mode as most of the PsReadLine goodies do not work anymore
Problem #3) - I can't use it in normal operation mode

What can be done here?
Anything else I can do to troubleshoot this?

Don't know if this helps:

What custom key handler are you using? I don't expect the legacy readline to be a stable experience, it's just a fallback for debugging and is not covered in tests.

[DEberhardt]

I am at a loss, how would I find out? (I am not aware changing the key handler...)

[andyleejordan]

Mm, try running Get-PSReadLineKeyHandler.

[DEberhardt]

d'oh! Could have guessed this one... Thank you.

User defined functions
======================

Key   Function                Description
---   --------                -----------
Enter OhMyPoshEnterKeyHandler User defined action

Just updating to v12.0.1 to see whether this fixes things - This did appear after the most recent update to v11.x

[DEberhardt]

ok. no change after update. Shall I report this to Jan as well? (I have no issues with this setup on Windows Terminal, just in VsCode for some reason and only in the terminal instance created by PowerShell Extension...

Edit: the Normal PowerShell Terminal that starts with VsCode works fine as well.

[andyleejordan]

Let's try without OhMyPoshEnterKeyHandler and see if that's the problem! Can remove Posh from your profile setup?

[DEberhardt]

Yes, this works - not calling this line restores functionality
