`Import-Module posh-git` no longer works in Visual Studio Code terminal

I've been using this very handy CLI in the Visual Studio Code terminal for years, but since about a week ago I haven't been able to see any of the output. I can see it in Windows Powershell.

C:\Users\me\projects\project1 [Branch-Name +3 ~3 -1 !]>

But in VSCode I just get

C:\Users\me\projects\project1>

Anyone know if there's any way to fix this, or somewhere I should raise an issue?

Solution

  • Check first if this is similar to posh-git issue 931:

    The new feature that shows color coded dots in the margin for successful/failed command executions. Read more here. It prevents the prompt from being adapted by Posh-Git.

    So on loading of Posh-Git, the prompt stays the same. (posh-git does load, and stuff like branch name completion does work, it's just the adaptation of the prompt function that fails.)

    I realize this is not a problem of Posh-Git per se. I just wanted to make you aware of this.

    I found a work-around by setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false, and restarting the terminal.

    If not, check your profile script, to make sure it is still there, accessible and readable.
