Scope

If your PowerShell Pro Tools for VS Code is at 2022.8.0 or higher then this article does not apply
Problem
PowerShell Pro Tools extension for VS Code was working fine until July 29th, 2022 when the Microsoft PowerShell extension was updated to v2022.7.2*
Root Cause
Microsoft broke certain functionalities in extensions with the release of their VS Code extension 7.2 (the version jumped from 6.3 to 7.2). See comments from Adam Driscoll around this at https://forums.ironmansoftware.com/t/powershellpro-tools-extension-installed-but-throws-error/7513
Solution for Subscribed Users
Upgrade to PowerShell Pro Tools to version 8.0 (or higher) where this problem was addressed on August 9th, 2022**
Workaround for Perpetual License Users
If your perpetual license expired before August 9th, 2022 then your only option is to downgrade the Microsoft PowerShell extension from 7.2+ back down to 6.3 and stay with that forever
Select 2022.6.3 from ‘Install Another Version’ under the extension settings (pictured below).
Direct link to the extension: ms-vscode.PowerShell-2022.6.3.vsix (20.6 MB)
If your perpetual license expired after August 9th, 2022 then you should be able to select a version of the PowerShell Pro Tools extension for Vs Code that is of version 8.0 or higher (pictured below).
