Steps to reproduce
- Define your
prompt as follows
function prompt {
# Get error code
$LastExitStatus = $?
$LastHistoryEntry = Get-History -Count 1
$LastErrorId = $Error[0].InvocationInfo.HistoryId
$CapturedExitCode = $LastExitCode
[int]$errorCode = 0
[bool]$IsLastResultAnError = $LastErrorId -eq $LastHistoryEntry.Id
if ($LastexitStatus -eq $True) {
$errorCode = 0
}
elseif ($IsLastResultAnError) {
$errorCode = -1
}
else {
$errorCode = $CapturedExitCode
}
$p = [System.Text.StringBuilder]::new()
# Get end mark
if ($global:_lastHistoryId -ne -1) {
if ($LastHistoryEntry.Id -eq $global:_lastHistoryId) {
[void]$p.Append("`e]133;D`a")
}
else {
[void]$p.Append("`e]133;D;$errorCode`a")
}
}
$Global:_lastHistoryId = $lastHistoryEntry.Id
# Start of the prompt
[void]$p.Append("`e]133;A$([char]07)")
# Get location mark
$Location = $executionContext.SessionState.Path.CurrentLocation
if ($Location.Provider.Name -eq "FileSystem") {
[void]$p.Append("$([char]27)]9;9;`"$($Location.ProviderPath)`"$([char]27)\")
}
[void]$p.Append("PS > ")
# End of the prompt, start of the new command
[void]$p.Append("`e]133;B$([char]07)")
$p.ToString()
}
Set-PSReadlineOption -PromptText '>'; Set-PSReadlineOption -ExtraPromptLineCount 1
- Write any PowerShell code, triggering a syntax error in the meantime (for instance, open a parenthesis)
- Write the command correctly, then execute
Expected behavior
The prompt text should be substituted cleanly, and not leave any spurious characters in the command line.
Actual behavior
The PromptText character is inserted into the command line, and as a consequence it is erroneously detected as part of the command by the shell integration feature.
