Hello, i have an issue with Powershell studio saving a form it cuts off some code attached to a button. The script itself works without a problem.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. # Details of the runbook we are going to run
2. $rbid = "abf850c5-24ba-4d2f-84fb-5eefee0bcab8"
3. $rbParameters = @{ "a04171a9-5f99-48da-b0ce-4c62cd7c6029" = "$Global:var_computer"; "3ca59135-5ebe-4e76-a4a5-920b5bf259ba" = $Global:var_ticket; "3840ea3d-5725-45ff-83a7-4cab2b154de8" = $Global:var_user }

6. $request = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create("http://******:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/Jobs")
7.

44. }
45.

62.

65. $requestStream.Flush()
66. $requestStream.Close()
67.  
68. # Get the response from the request
69. [System.Net.HttpWebResponse]$response = [System.Net.HttpWebResponse]$Request.GetResponse()
70.  
71. # Write the HttpWebResponse to String
72. $responseStream = $Response.GetResponseStream()

81. if ($response.StatusCode -eq 'Created')
82. {
83.     $xmlDoc = [xml]$responseString
84.     $jobId = $xmlDoc.entry.content.properties.Id.InnerText
85.     Write-Host "Successfully started runbook. Job ID: " $jobId
86. }
87. else
88. {
89.     Write-Host "Could not start runbook. Status: " $response.StatusCode
90. }

The problem happens when i link the above code to a button, launching the form works until i save it. Once saved and opened again Powershell studio decides to remove part of the code. When i load the project again this is what remains from the above script:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $rbid = "7810ee58-6970-4f74-b00c-4f107f638608"
2.     $rbParameters = @{ "161a1de9-712b-457e-adec-47840fb86dc0" = "$Global:var_computer"; "b183de03-3248-49e1-bfa8-d1cfd0727d12" = "$Global:var_ticket" }
3.    
4.     # Create the request object
5.     $request = [System.Net.HttpWebRequest]::Create("*******:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/Jobs")
6.    
7.     # Set the credentials to default or prompt for credentials
8.     $request.UseDefaultCredentials = $true
9.     #$request.Credentials = Get-Credential
10.    
11.     # Build the request header
12.     $request.Method = "POST"
13.     $request.UserAgent = "Microsoft ADO.NET Data Services"
14.     $request.Accept = "a[Codebox=powershell file=Untitled.ps1]pplication/atom+xml,application/xml"
15.     $request.ContentType = "application/atom+xml"
16.     $request.KeepAlive = $true
17.     $request.Headers.Add("Accept-Encoding", "identity")
18.     $request.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-US")
19.     $request.Headers.Add("DataServiceVersion", "1.0;NetFx")
20.     $request.Headers.Add("MaxDataServiceVersion", "2.0;NetFx")
21.     $request.Headers.Add("Pragma", "no-cache")
22.    
23.     # If runbook servers are specified, format the string
24.     $rbServerString = ""
25.     if (-not [string]::IsNullOrEmpty($RunbookServers))
26.     {
27.         $rbServerString = -join ("<d:RunbookServers>", $RunbookServers, "</d:RunbookServers>")
28.     }
29.    
30.     # Format the Runbook parameters, if any
31.     $rbParamString = ""
32.     if ($rbParameters -ne $null)
33.     {
34.        
35.         # Format the param string from the Parameters hashtable
36.         $rbParamString = "<d:Parameters><![CDATA[<Data>"
37.         foreach ($p in $rbParameters.GetEnumerator())
38.         {
39.             #$rbParamString = -join ($rbParamString,"&lt;Parameter&gt;&lt;ID&gt;{",$p.key,"}&lt;/ID&gt;&lt;Value&gt;",$p.value,"&lt;/Value&gt;&lt;/Parameter&gt;")        
40.             $rbParamString = -join ($rbParamString, "<Parameter><ID>{", $p.key, "}</ID><Value>", $p.value, "</Value></Parameter>")
41.         }
42.         $rbParamString += "</Data>]]

So saving each time removes everything coming after $rbParamString += "</Data>]]

When i save it as a script (ps1) it leaves the code as it is after loading it again.

Any idea what could be causing this?

So far I have not been able to reproduce this behavior. Does this only occur with this file or does it happen with all files?

Can you please provide screenshots of the following:

Thanks for you response.
I checked all settings and they seem to be identical to yours.

This only happens when i use this code in a .psf file. I have created a few new forms and it happens in any of them. When i save it as .ps1 it doesn't happen.
I never had this kind of behavior in any other projects.

[brittneyr]

Can you please upload one of the forms that is having the issue here:

Meanwhile i have figured out a work around by placing the code in a function which i saved as ps1. When the button is clicked the variables are passed as parameters to the external ps1 file and i have added it as dot source to call it ( . .\script.ps1)
This does the trick, PSS has no issue with the code in either a ps1 or module file.

[brittneyr]

Thank you, I have received your file and I will continue to investigate this issue. When I get any information, I'll post here.

[brittneyr]

I have been able to replicate your issue. I have filed an internal bug report with the development team.

This issue has been resolved in build 5.6.170.
