Issue Description

I am experiencing a problem with running cmdlets from MicrosoftPowerBIMgmt module. Same script works as expected in ISE but fails in Visual Studio Code. I am unable to run Get-PowerBIActivityEvent I believe the issue could be caused by version of the Newtonsoft.Json.dll that came with December version of the Powershell extension - it is 11.0.0 while the module requires 12.0.2 and higher

PS C:\Windows\system32> [Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert].Module

MDStreamVersion    : 131072
FullyQualifiedName : C:\Users\****\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-2019.12.0\modules\PowerShellEditorServices\bin\Desktop\Newtonsoft.Json.dll

Expected Behaviour

execution the same cmdlet in ISE returns results as expected with no errors.

Actual Behaviour

I get the following error:

Get-PowerBIActivityEvent : Attempted to access an element as a type incompatible with the array.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (Microsoft.Power...BIActivityEvent:GetPowerBIActivityEvent) [Get-PowerBIActivityEvent], ArrayTypeMismatchException

Thank you, thank you, thank you @olyamusok for commenting about installation of PowerShell 7 – I also was getting blank [ ] results in VSCode when running Get-PowerBIActivityEvent, while getting results returned just fine from the ISE. At this time, version 7.0.2 (https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases) is the latest & whatever it installed resolved the issue. (And just for completeness on this thread…the Powershell preview extension in VSCode also had no effect for me on this particular issue that I was facing.)

Can you all give the PowerShell Preview extension a try? We just did a release of it.

Don’t forget to disable the regular PowerShell extension for VS Code when you enable the PowerShell Preview extension for VS Code
