Issue Description

I have a module where i pass a string parameter like this: -Message (“We retrieved " + $comps.count + " computers from AD”) }

What VS Code does when auto-formatting is change the sentence to: -Message (“We retrieved " $comps.count + " computers from AD”)

Note the first plus in the sentence was removed.

In the problems window I get this:

But the code runs just fine.

And I can’t even run the code without saving, since it’s changes the code and then messes everything up.

Expected Behaviour

This code worked fine in previous versions of VSCode. Something changed, although not sure what.

Actual Behaviour

I updated but I still got the message in PowerShell 7 using a regular shell, outside of VSCode.

Great to hear that. The PowerShell extension ships a backup of the PSSA module in case the user does not have it installed. Right now the stable extension still ships 1.19.0 unfortunately as it hasn’t released an update for a while but the preview extension already ships 1.19.1. Therefore by installing the latest version, you’ve fixed the issue. You can always periodically run the install command but otherwise you are at the mercy of the PowerShell extension updating the pssa module in time. Some of this is by design to limit the blast radius in case a serious bug got found in a new pssa release. Cc @SydneyhSmith
