Jupyter Lab - Host getting stuck after executing Out-ConsoleGridView

Describe the bug

Basically, executing the cmdlet Out-ConsoleGridView (OCGV) sends the results to where the Jupyter host is running.

You can’t use neither the “sec” key nor the OCGV “F9” key to clear it.

It will only execute the command once, then it get stuck. Select .NET PowerShell notebook, and enter:

dir | ocgv

This works!

Enter a second command:

dir | select name | ocgv

At this time, .NET PowerShell stays “Busy” and won’t process the command.

Did this error occur while using dotnet interactive?

Even after the update, I’m getting the same issue: Tool ‘microsoft.dotnet-interactive’ was successfully updated from version ‘1.0.116704’ to version ‘1.0.117001’.

We will be investigating an Out-GridView in Jupyter but we can’t use Out-ConsoleGridView for this. It’s a totally different technology stack.

I’m not really sure how .NET Interactive can get around this. It’d be the same behavior if you pop a GUI like with WPF or WinForms (or real Out-GridView). Considering the restart kernel is available to unblock users who get into that position, I think we can close this.

Plus, Out-ConsoleGridView has been fixed to warn you about running it in .NET Interactive.
