Steps to Reproduce
Open the dbatools repository in VS Code – it defaults to dev which has a new version of our library and SMO DLLs
Open a PowerShell file in the repo
Wait 1 minute (I’ve seen it in as little as 30 seconds)
If it doesn’t do it, type Connect-DbaInstance

Switch to the fix-logshipping

See that the DLLs are marked as changed
