Context Help Content no longer showing after upgrade

Post by bill-douse »

PowerShell Studio 2021 (64 Bit)
PS Studio Build: v5.8.191
OS: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (64 Bit)
OS Build: v10.0.19043.0
PSVersion: 5.1.19041.1023
PSEdition : Desktop
PSBuildVersion: 10.0.19041.1023

I recently updated to the new PS Studio v5.8.191, and my context help panel no longer shows any help content. I have performed an Update-Help, which appeared to complete successfully. See attached screenshot of the "Show Help" results in both the Help and Output Panels.

Thanks,
Bill

I've been able to replicate the issue with the Help pane not showing cmdlet help information and have filed a bug report for the development team. When I have more information, I'll let you know.

As for the error you are getting from ImportExcel module, are other modules also giving you this error when attempting to update help?

The error shown in the graphic happens every time I select Refresh Help from the ImportExcel context menu. The error and missing content only happen on the ImportExcel module. All other modules appear to be working just fine. I am using the ImportExcel module in my application and it appears to be working fine. It's just the lack of context help for that module that is the issue.

PowerShell Studio service build 5.8.193 has been released. Please try it and let me know if this is still an issue.
