* Use `nameof` where appropriate
* Factor out a repeated `entry.Key.ToString()` call
* Use a `StringBuilder` in the `ToString()` method
* Dissect a trick comparison method into something simpler
* Use HashCode.Combine() method
Previously, we limited use of UseShellExecute when starting a new process to only Windows Desktop. However, CoreFx now supports UseShellExecute (appropriately calling `open` on macOS and `xdg-open` on Linux) so we can have a consistent code and remove some of the existing redundant code or unnecessary limiting code.
* The major refactoring changes are:
- In `ModuleIntrisic.cs`, remove unneeded Windows-PowerShell-only code.
- In `ModuleUtils.cs`
- use the new API `Directory.GetDirectories(string path, string searchPattern, EnumerationOptions enumerationOptions)` and `Directory.GetFiles(string path, string searchPattern, EnumerationOptions enumerationOptions)` to enumerate files and sub-directories within a directory path.
- remove the unused parameter `bool force` from `GetDefaultAvailableModuleFiles(bool force, bool isForAutoDiscovery, ExecutionContext context)`
- refactor the method `GetModuleVersionsFromAbsolutePath`. Add more comments and rename the method name.
- In `ModuleCmdletBase.cs`, refactor the method `GetModuleForNonRootedPaths` to `GetModuleForNames` to simply its implementation.
- In `PSModuleInfo.cs`
- group the declarations of `Declared*Exports` fields together
- rename `_detected*Exports` fields to `Detected*Exports` to group them together. They are internal fields and used outside `PSModuleInfo`.
* There is some perf improvement after this refactoring change:
- For `Get-Module -ListAvailable`, there is about 36% speed improvement for 94 default modules.
- For `Get-Module -ListAvailable -All`, there is about 14% speed improvement for totally 600 module files.
- For `Get-Module <name> -ListAvailable -List`, there is over 17x speed improvement for finding 13 modules from 600 modules. This is because we now filter names using the module file before creating a `PSMdouleInfo` object.
PSRP currently relies on XML for the transport messages. When using PSRP over SSH, if the target side fails, it sends back a text message. PSRP sees this and doesn't know what to do so it throws
a generic message which makes troubleshooting the issue more difficult. Change here is to throw
the text message which now looks like:
>new-pssession : [test-machine] There is an error processing data from the background process. Error reported: Invalid argument '-np', did you mean:.
Previously:
>new-pssession : [test-machine] There is an error processing data from the background process. Error reported: Cannot process an element with node type "Text". Only Element and EndElement node types are supported..
Since it's processing one line at a time, not able to get the whole message.
* [FEATURE] Allow Basic Auth over HTTPS
* WSManTransportManager.cs: Simplify HTTPS check
Update comment in test to refer to the right exception type.
* Disable test until limi crash fo selected connection error paths is fixed
* Use Hex format for defining the expected HRESULT
The fix causes a problem in debugging. When stepping over the scripts in debugging mode, the debugger will stop at the switch statement condition expression twice at the very beginning -- one for evaluating the condition, and one for iterating the condition.
* Implement location history feature for Set-Location.
This makes it possible to go back to the last directory using 'cd -',
which is exactly the same syntax as on Linux shells.
* Use an existing stack implementation instead of relying on an environment variable and move logic for 'cd -' into the internal class of SessionState.Path.SetLocation
Keep the (additional) setting of an environment for Unix system in case of mixed usage of cd and Set-Location to provide consistency.
* Use a bounded stack with a limit of 1000 and adapt tests.
Remove setting environment variable on Linux as discussed in PR.
* Fix test: use get-location explicitly to avoid subtle difference in the path string (e.g. an additional slash at the end)
Make syntax to .net call of environment consistent with surrounding code
* Move initialization of _workingLocationHistoryStack into constructor of SessionStateInternal and set the limit to 20 as discussed in PR 5051.
* Make new BoundedStack class in engine utils internal
* Fix error when using Get-ChildItem c:
* Fix New-Item test issue.
* Add tests for Get-ChildItem cmdlet.
* Add tests for New-Item cmdlet.
* Fix tests for New-Item cmdlet.
Measure-Object should handle `ScriptBlock` properties. Fixed by renaming `MshExpression` to `PSPropertyExpression` and making it public. Then in `MeasureObjectCommand`, lifting it up to the parameter level. Previously the implementation exposed the Property as a string and
wrapped it internally as a `PSPropertyExpression`. Now the parameter type is `PSPropertyExpression` directly allowing for both wildcard strings and `ScriptBlock`.
`PSPropertyExpression` now lives in a public namespace where it can be used by cmdlet and script authors to easily add the same type of functionality to their commands. I also modified `PSPropertyExpression` to handle hashtables properly as objects so
@{prop = 3} | measure-object prop
and
@{prop = 3} | measure-object {$_.prop}
will work the same. (Previously the example using just the property name would fail.)
This addresses issue #6207. During SSH remoting on Linux machines, when PowerShell on the client creates the SSH process to connect to the target machine, it was not passing in environment variables from the parent process, and this was preventing ssh-agent key management from working.
This change adds a helper function to create environment variable key/value pairs for the created SSH process, based on the passed in ProcessStartInfo object.
- Use File.GetAttributes() instead of p/invokes to check for existence of FileSystem items. The method throws access exceptions which we use for better error messages.
- Remove the word 'Native' from method names.
Dynamic (DLR) objects work in some places today, but not others. This change expands that support to ForEach-Object, Where-Object and the family of cmdlets that use 'MshExpression' (Select-Object, etc.).
This change addresses both wildcard and non-wildcard cases. In wildcard cases, it uses the existing support of generating PSDynamicMember objects for names returned by GetDynamicMemberNames.
In non-wildcard cases, a dynamic property access is attempted whether or not the name shows up in GetDynamicMemberNames, but a truly "blind" access is only attempted if we see that the base object is an IDMOP. If the dynamic access fails, you'll get the same or a similar error experience as before ("The property 'Blarg' cannot be found", or no error at all, depending on the cmdlet and the strict mode setting).
The included test coverage includes a stub for the.ForEach operator--once people are happy with this change, I can continue by adding support there.
This change should allegedly also have positive perf impact, though in actual perf testing, although it does seem ever-so-slightly faster, I found it difficult to measure much difference at all.
PowerShell serialization has a list of known PowerShell types. When an object is deserialized containing a known type it tries to deserialize the object to that specific type and throws an exception if it can't succeed. SemanticVersion only exists in PSCore6 so when remoting from Windows PowerShell or importing clixml generated from PSCore6 that contains SemanticVersion, it fails.
With this fix, it will be rehydrated as a "PSObject" with "Deseriealized.System.Management.Automation.SemanticVersion" in the 'TypeNames' in both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core.

After parsing `if () { }`, new lines are skipped in order to see if either `elseif` or `else` is present. When neither is present, we should resync back to the pointer before skipping those possibly available new lines, so that the new line tokens can be utilized by the subsequent parsing.
Refactor code to make it easier to maintain and a little faster. Changes are as follows:
1. Support finding a matching signature with variance. But make PowerShell prefer exact match over a match with variance.
2. The metadata signatures in `PSMethod<..>` are generated based on the array of method overloads in `MethodCacheEntry.MethodInformationStructures`, in the exact same order. So in `LanguagePrimitive.ConvertViaParseMethod`, when we try to figure out if there is a match using the metadata signatures in `PSMethod<..>`, we can get the index of the matching signature, and the same index should locate the matching method in `MethodCacheEntry.MethodInformationStructures`. Therefore, we don't need to compare signatures again in the actual conversion method, and instead, we can just leverage the index we found when figuring out the conversion in `ConvertViaParseMethod`.
- This gets rid of the reflection call `GetMethod("Invoke")` and the subsequent signature comparisons in the final conversion method.
- Also, when comparing signatures using `PSMethod<..>` in `ConvertViaParseMethod`, we can just use the generic argument types of each `Func<..>` metadata type, instead of calling `GetMethod("Invoke")` and then `GetParameters()`. This makes the code for comparing signatures simpler (the type `SignatureComparator`).
- Move `MatchesPSMethodProjectedType` from `PSMemberInfo.cs` to the type `SignatureComparator` in `LanguagePrimitives.cs`, as it's closely related to the signature comparison. Also, renamed it to `ProjectedTypeMatchesTargetType`.
- These changes make PSMethod-to-Delegate conversion a little faster, but no big improvement, as the true bottleneck probably is in delegate creation(?). Actually, the performance of this conversion is not critical at all at this moment because this feature should rarely be used in any hot script path. So this exercise is mainly for fun.
3. Remove `PSEnum<T>`. We can directly use enum types when constructing the metadata type `Func<..>`.
4. Remove the code that generates metadata signatures for generic method definitions (call `MakeGenericMethod` with fake types like `GenericType0`, `GenericType1`). This is because:
- We don't support convert generic method to delegate today, so may be better not spending time on preparing the metadata signature types for those methods.
- When the day comes that we need to support it, it's better to use generic argument types directly to construct the `Func<..>` metadata types. I left comments in `GetMethodGroupType` method in `PSMemberInfo.cs` to explain why that approach is better.
This regression was introduced by #6523, in `PSModuleInfo.cs`. A circular nested module check was removed because the comment there suggested it happens only with a deprecated workflow module. This causes a `StackOverflow` exception when running into circular nested modules.
Circular nested modules could happen for a module that is not well structured. For example, the module folder `test` contains two files: `test.psd1` and `test.psm1`, and `test.psd1` has the following content:
@{ ModuleVersion = '0.0.1'; RootModule = 'test'; NestedModules = @('test') }
The same value `test` is put in both RootModule and NestedModule, which will end up with a module whose nested module points to itself.
There are two changes in this PR:
1. Add back the check for circular nested modules in `PSModuleInfo.cs`.
2. Remove a wrong `Dbg.Assert` in `ModuleCmdletBase.cs` and two checks before it.
- For the assertion `Dbg.Assert(newManifestInfo.SessionState == ss`, when facing the example above, the nested module will first be loaded with a different session state, and then when trying to load the root module, the same loaded nested module will be reused for it. So 'newManifestInfo.SessionState' is not `ss`. The assertion will fail in that case.
- For the two checks before the assertion, they are not needed anymore based on the comments there.
[breaking change] Clean up code related to the uses of `CommandTypes.Workflow` and `WorkflowInfo` in `System.Management.Automation`. This change mainly affects help provider code.
This PR includes a few minor breaking changes:
- Change the `public` constructors of `WorkflowInfo` to `internal`. We don't support workflow in PSCore, so I think it makes sense to not allow people to create `Workflow` instances.
- Remove the type `System.Management.Automation.DebugSource` since it's only used for workflow debugging.
- Remove the overload of `SetParent` from the abstract class `Debugger` that is only used for workflow debugging.
- Remove the same overload of `SetParent` from the derived class `RemotingJobDebugger`.
- For ConsoleHosts tests, the test is validating error condition, but did not redirect stderr to stdout so the output isn't captured and thus an empty string failing the assertion.
- For SSHConnectionInfo API tests, it's calling a constructor that got overwritten with a new parameter. Fix is to put back that public API and overload it with a new one.
The current implementation of PSRP over SSH only enables remoting to one version of PowerShell Core 6.
sshd_config allows specifying multiple subsystems that can start different versions of PowerShell Core 6 (or same versions with different parameters).
Enable use of a new -Subsystem parameter to specify the subsystem to use with ssh.
'GetTypeInfo()' were added when porting PowerShell to early version of .NET Core (prior .NET Core 1.0).
Most properties and methods in 'System.Type' were missing at that time. Now the call is not needed anymore and should be removed.
