Prerequisites

  • I have written a descriptive issue title.
  • I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
  • I have read the troubleshooting guide.
  • I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
  • I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
  • If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

When using the powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole setting, if you use Ctrl+C to cancel a running script the PowerShell debugger does not stop; it stays running until you manually stop it. This also prevents you from rerunning the script until you manually stop the debugger.

This is the same as issue #3700 that was fixed, except it still occurs when the createTemporaryIntegratedConsole setting is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Ensure the powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole settings is enabled.
  2. Run a PowerShell script. e.g.
    for ($i = 0; $i -lt 10; $i++) {
    Write-Host "Running script. Press Ctrl+C to cancel script. $i"
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
    }
    
  3. Press Ctrl + C to cancel the script.
  4. Notice that the script stopped running, but the PowerShell debugger is still running and must be manually stopped.

Visuals

Here is a gif showing the problem. You can see that the powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole setting is enabled and that a temporary terminal is created after pressing F5 to start the script. After pressing Ctrl+C to stop the script, the debugger stays running until I manually click the stop button on the debugger toolbar.
