Issue Description

In problems Tab it shows me file paths. But it seems you try to make it relative and something isn’t playing well.

It seems that if there is depth higher then 1 relative path isn’t relative to the path of folder but it goes back to C drive using full path but removing drive letter.

I suspect this problem often shows up in searching for definition or in other places (can’t confirm it thou). I had times where I would click find ‘Go To Definitions’ and it would try to search for it for long time entering into infinite loop (showing the progress of searching but nothing really happens - the progress stays up even after I restarted PowerShell Session).

Maybe it manifests itself in other places (invisible to naked eye) as well so worth taking a deeper look.

Expected Behaviour

Relative Paths or full paths. Up to you 😉

So we think we know what is going on with these paths but it’s going to take a bit of time to fix. What happens is that when PSES (running in the PSIC process) opens script files it creates simple filesystem paths. When those paths are passed back to VSCode, VSCode is expecting them to be in a particular Uri format. We are not converting those file system paths to this Uri format which causes this issue. @SeeminglyScience @rjmholt

The next update 1.12.0 should fix this issue. If for some reason it does not, please re-open this issue. Fixed by https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/pull/872 and https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/pull/887
