- 2023-11-18: vs code bug report PSReadLine#3871
- 2023-11-27:
Az.Tools.Predictor
+PSReadLine
randomly runs something in the terminal Azure/azure-powershell#23573 - 2024-06-25: Issue appeared after randomly typing in the VSCode Terminal PSReadLine#4052
While writing PowerShell in the code pane the terminal suddenly seems to have ran something on my unfinished code, and must be exited with CTRL+C to stop.

In this example I was going to write Get-AzResource
, only got to Get-AzResour
before a warning pops up saying WARNING: Get-AzResour is not found. The most similar Azure PowerShell command is: Get-AzResource
.
