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.
- 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.
[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`.
'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.
Clean up workflow logic in the module loading component.
Workflow module is not supported in PSCore.
Currently, Import-Module throws a terminating error when seeing .xaml modules. After the change, Import-Module throws a non-terminating error when seeing .xaml modules.
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.
Fix#6073
- Remove the unneeded base type;
- Rename 'ConfigPropertyAccessor' to 'PowerShellConfig';
- Move 'PowerShellConfig' to the namespace 'System.Management.Automation.Configuration'
Updated fwlinks to pull new help content for PSv6.
Fwlink for Microsoft.PowerShell.Core module is not updated since about_*help.txt is not available yet.
For PSCore 6, we are only supporting InitialSessionState. The RunspaceConfiguration APIs were already made internal. This PR removes all the code related to RunspaceConfiguration. This also means that some public APIs have changed. Was deciding between leaving the RunspaceConfiguration parameters and throwing Unsupported, but thought it was better to have it a compile-time error. This should simplify the code base.

Remove the code that spins up our own assembly load context. Keep the code that registers our `Resolve` method to the default loader's `Resolving` event, so that we can continue to do special assembly resolution as needed (such as the GAC probing logic needed for consuming FullCLR PS modules).
Essentially, the assembly `Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.AssemblyLoadContext.dll` is not needed anymore, the remaining code should be moved to S.M.A.dll. However, that will break DSC and other native hosts that are hosting powershell. So this assembly is kept for now.
* Removed unused help providers and related classes.
We do not publish any help content for FAQ, General and Glossary help providers. These were only used in v1 of Powershell.
* Removed XSDs for obsolete help providers
* Removed references from other XSDs.
This change moves powershell to .NET Core 2.0. Major changes are:
1. PowerShell assemblies are now targeting `netcoreapp2.0`. We are using `microsoft.netcore.app-2.0.0-preview1-001913-00`, which is from dotnet-core build 4/4/17. We cannot target `netstandard2.0` because the packages `System.Reflection.Emit` and `System.Reflection.Emit.Lightweight`, which are needed for powershell class, cannot be referenced when targeting `netstandard2.0`.
2. Refactor code to remove most CLR stub types and extension types.
3. Update build scripts to enable CI builds. The `-cache` section is specified to depend on `appveyor.yml`, so the cache will be invalidated if `appveyor.yml` is changed.
4. Ship `netcoreapp` reference assemblies with powershell to fix the issues in `Add-Type` (#2764). By default `Add-Type` will reference all those reference assemblies when compiling C# code. If `-ReferenceAssembly` is specified, then we search reference assemblies first, then the framework runtime assemblies, and lastly the loaded assemblies (possibly a third-party one that was already loaded).
5. `dotnet publish` generates executable on Unix platforms, but doesn't set "x" permission and thus it cannot execute. Currently, the "x" permission is set in the build script, `dotnet/cli` issue [#6286](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/6286) is tracking this.
6. Replace the use of some APIs with the ones that take `SecureString`.
7. osx.10.12 is required to update to `netcoreapp2.0` because `dotnet-cli` 2.0.0-preview only works on osx.10.12.
8. Add dependency to `System.ValueTuple` to work around a ambiguous type identity issue in coreclr. The issue is tracked by `dotnet/corefx` [#17797](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/17797). When moving to newer version of `netcoreapp2.0`, we need to verify if this dependency is still needed.
* Help was incorrectly returning multiple instances of the same help file if it existed under a culture path and the parent was in the search path as well
* updated test to use generated help file rather than an actual one
* Fixed test to have module in $pshome path and casing of en-US culture
* Adding PowerShellHelpFiles package which contains default.help.txt to powershell-win-core
* Adding test case to validate that <pshome>/<culture>/default.help.txt is present. This is done by calling 'Get-Help'
* Updating get-help to skip searching for the help file when the InternalTestHooks.BypassOnlineHelpRetrieval is enable. This way, we force get-help to generate a metadata driven help object, which includes a helpUri that points to the fwlink defined in the cmdlet code.
* Updating get-help -online <cmdletName> tests to not delete the help files. Instead, I've added logic to get-help to not find the help file when the test hook BypassOnlineHelpRetrieval is enable.
Our private implementation of FailFast was likely introduced
when each individual application needed it's own code to
get Watson reports. The CLR takes care of this for us now,
so we don't need our implementation.
Our method CheckForSevereException was also introduced in
the early days of the CLR - the exceptions it was checking
for aren't actually raised the CLR anymore, they just FailFast.
I removed them as there is a tiny bit of overhead (in code size)
and also in the generated code, e.g. dynamic sites called the method.
In PS Core on windows, we try to locate the default web browser and use it for online help. If we cannot find the default web browser (in NanoServer/IoT), we error out.
Also includes these bugfixes:
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: Tried to load XML from
MemoryStream that was created from file name string. Use XmlReader
instead.
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: Use Path.Combine instead of
platform-specific directory separator character.
- WSManConfigProvider.GetHelpMaml: CmdletHelpPath MAML XML element
attribute `ID` name casing seems inconsistent with other help.xml
files. XPath 1.0 does not support case-insensitive expressions,
use both `id` and `ID` in query.
- Add Pester test to verify that Get-Help shows provider-specific help.
Fixes#2088
