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.)
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.
Use safe pattern 'columns <= columnsThresHold ? stackalloc int[columns] : new int[columns];'
Remove duplicate code.
Use common 'columnsThresHold' constant.
* Add checking if an output width is specified.
* change _failedToReadConsoleWidth variable to _noConsole bool value.
This variable is to cache the default console width when failed to get 'Console.WindowWidth' value.
* In cases where the header spans multiple rows, need to correctly calculate whitespace and trim appropriately
* Use System.Span<int> and C# 7.2 language in SMA
* Added new ref assemblies to Files.wxs
refactor tests to remove similar xml content
added single column test case
- The original change to remove extra padding didn't take into account alignment.
Fix logic to accommodate left, center, and right alignment in the table format and also add tests.
- Fix ImplicitRemoting test that validates formatting to use same instance due to formatting changes in this PR
- Only use loopback to same powershell instance for formatting test as the other tests implicitly expect Windows PowerShell.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
Updated module manifests for consistency to have Author = "PowerShell" and Company = "Microsoft Corporation". Removed multiple line breaks.
Separate PR coming to update contribution document for new source files: #6140
Manually reviewed each change.
