Summary

Using Run: Start Without Debugging to run a PowerShell script containing the bump2version native command may be unresponsive, but running it in another way is perfectly fine.

Steps to Reproduce

# main.ps1
bump2version

This bug involves the native command bump2version, if you don’t have it installed, you can run the command pip install --upgrade bump2version to install it.

Running main.ps1 with Run: Start Without Debugging in VSCode will cause a longer unresponsiveness, but if you use the path of main.ps1 entered directly, this problem does not occur.

It’s very interesting to me that the programs we’re seeing problems with are all interpreted scripts. Both hg.exe and bump2version.exe are Python scripts (executables that bundle the Python interpreter and the associated script), and exiftool.exe is a Perl script bundled in the same manner. That is to say, they are not simply native executables. There seems to be a connection here but I haven’t quite figured it out.

If it is simply not responding, then the problem is not too serious. More importantly, even if the operation has been stopped using ^c, the corresponding folder will be occupied, and unless the whole program is restarted, it will be difficult to lift it, and the problem will be serious if you accidentally press the wrong button.

Moreover, if this problem occurs in debug mode, it is impossible to run the script in vscode using the normal way, and it will all go into debug state.
