Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[trevor530]

Product: PowerShell Studio 2023 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.8.219
OS: Windows 11 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build:

I have been getting random "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when running my code. Occasionally I will get this error when I load my projects and I will get an error dump. If I get that again I will attach it.

My colleague is on a slightly older version and he does not get these errors.

When I get the errors I just close Powershell Studio, start it back up, load the project and continue on from where I was.

I also noticed that when I get these errors sometimes it is a result of me trying to load files in the project. The file list will have most of my project files with question marks next to them yet I can still open them. But, sometimes I can build and run the project.

We are looking into this and we get back to you soon.

Just to clarify, the error happens when you are opening files from the project panel? Can you provide a screenshot of the files with question marks?

[trevor530]

That error occurs when I am opening from the panel sometimes. Other times it is when I am running code. Other times it is when I am debugging code.

I will post a screenshot if I can get the panel to show the question marks again.

Are your projects local or on a network?

Was this happening prior to this build for you?

[trevor530]

I have uploaded my ErrorLog.

My code is on a network share. This problem was not present in previous builds.

Please try service build 5.8.220 and let me know if you are still experiencing issues.

The problem persists
