Thanks for opening an issue @victorwoo. This looks like a crash in the URI class in the CodeLens reference provider.

The workaround is to disable CodeLens: #1174 (comment)

I suspect the non-ASCII characters are causing the crash (it's occurring when the AbsoluteUri property is referenced here). Hopefully we can fix it -- the crash seems to be occurring deep within the Uri class.

[victorwoo]

Yes, the #1174 (comment) workaround works. Thanks!

Further information:
There are really some Chinese characters in the file path. I did some tests, and hope them helps:

PS /Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory> (Get-Item ./test.ps1).FullName
/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1
PS /Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory> (New-Object System.Uri ((Get-Item ./test.ps1).FullName)).AbsoluteUri
file://file:/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1
PS /Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory> (New-Object System.Uri ("file://" + (Get-Item ./test.ps1).FullName)).AbsoluteUri
# EMPTY OUTPUT HERE!
PS /Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory>

I can't reproduce this on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It may be macOS specific.

[rjmholt]

I just tried this on my Mac (OS 10.13.6, PS 6.1.0):

PS| rob@Desktop> [uri]::new('file:///Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1').AbsoluteUri
file:///Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1

@victorwoo it looks like this might have been an issue in .NET Core 2.0 which was what we used in PowerShell Core 6.0.4.

Can you upgrade to PowerShell Core 6.1 and try again?

[TylerLeonhardt]

PS Core 6.1:

> [Uri]::new("/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory").AbsoluteUri
file:///Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory

PS Core 6.0.4:

>   [Uri]::new("/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory").AbsoluteUri                                                             
file://file:/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory

Note the extra file:.

On macOS 10.13.6 (17G2307)

PS Core 6.0.4:

PS /Users/vichamp> [Uri]::new("/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory").AbsoluteUri                   file://file:/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory
PS /Users/vichamp> [uri]::new('file:///Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory/test.ps1').AbsoluteUri   
# EMPTY

PS Core 6.1.0:

PS /Users/vichamp> [Uri]::new("/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory").AbsoluteUri    
file:///Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory/Users/vichamp/%E8%84%9A%E6%9C%AC/Reduce-Directory

I think the result on PS Core 6.1 still error.

[rjmholt]

Yes, try $uri.LocalPath

[victorwoo]

On macOS 10.13.6 (17G2307) with PS Core 6.1.0:

PS /Users/vichamp> [Uri]::new("/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory").LocalPath
/Users/vichamp/脚本/Reduce-Directory

It seems OK.

[victorwoo]

Update to PowerShell Extension 1.9.0 and this issue disappears.
