PR Summary

Fix #17627

Fix to unwrap PSObject when setting data to DataRow and DataRowView.

For set-index operation on DataRow and DataRowView, we unwrap its argument value if it's appropriate.
We treat those 2 types specially because their indexers accept 'object' arguments in the signatures, but actually check the data type internally and will fail if the argument is wrapped in PSObject.

This fixes a regression introduced in PowerShell v7.2.0, see #17627 (comment) for details.

PR Checklist

{
DataRowView dataRowView = (DataRowView)property.baseObject;
dataRowView[(string)property.adapterData] = setValue;
dataRowView[(string)property.adapterData] = PSObject.Base(setValue);

Could we make PSObject more flexible/smart with IConvertable?
The error is raised in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/1c442fcb36e73eb3d8be10423a45389ce2a468b9/src/libraries/System.Data.Common/src/System/Data/Common/DateTimeStorage.cs#L165
The pattern looks as commonly used. So perhaps we could benefit from implementation IConvertable in PSObject.

This sounds like a good idea, better than special-casing the DataRow and DataRowView in the binder code.

By chance I encountered a similar error today that exist even in 5.1
Will this also fix this scenario? Thank you

$MyObject = [PSCustomObject]@{
    Param = 1
}
$Select = $MyObject | Select-Object -Property ('Param')
$SelectExpression = 1 | Select-Object -Property (
    @{ Name = 'Param'; Expression = { 1 } }
)

$Dt = [System.Data.DataTable]::new()
$Dt.Columns.Add('Param', [int]) | Out-Null
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add()
$Row['Param'] = $MyObject.Param # 👍
$Row['Param'] = $Select.Param # 👍
$Row['Param'] = $SelectExpression.Param # Error
# Unable to cast object of type 'System.Management.Automation.PSObject' to type 'System.IConvertible'.Couldn't store <1> in Param Column.  Expected type is Int32.

Another one I see now with multiple items

$MyObject = [PSCustomObject]@{
    Param = 1
    Param2 = 'Foo'
}
$Select = $MyObject | Select-Object -Property ('Param', 'Param2')
$SelectExpression = 1 | Select-Object -Property (
    @{ Name = 'Param'; Expression = { 1 } },
    @{ Name = 'Param2'; Expression = { 'Foo' } }
)
$Dt = [System.Data.DataTable]::new()
$Dt.Columns.Add('Param', [int]) | Out-Null
$Dt.Columns.Add('Param2', [string]) | Out-Null
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add()
$Row['Param'] = $MyObject.Param # 👍
$Row['Param'] = $Select.Param # 👍
$Row['Param'] = $SelectExpression.Param # Error
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add($SelectExpression.Param, $SelectExpression.Param2) # Individual 👍
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add($MyObject.PSObject.Properties.Value) # Array exact types 👍
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add(('1', 'Foo')) # Array string casted automatically 👍
$Row = $Dt.Rows.Add($SelectExpression.PSObject.Properties.Value) # Array PSObject error, not casted

Closing this PR, as #19071 (comment) proposes a better solution to the problem.
@ili101 I think all those issues will be resolved if PSObject properly implements System.IConvertible.

The idea to implement IConvertible for PSObject is rejected by the engine working group (see the details in #19170). So, reopening this PR.

@pull-request-quantifier-deprecated

This PR has 41 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!


Quantification details

Label      : Extra Small
Size       : +34 -7
Percentile : 16.4%

Total files changed: 3

Change summary by file extension:
.cs : +12 -7
.ps1 : +22 -0

Change counts above are quantified counts, based on the PullRequestQuantifier customizations.

Why proper sizing of changes matters

Optimal pull request sizes drive a better predictable PR flow as they strike a
balance between between PR complexity and PR review overhead. PRs within the
optimal size (typical small, or medium sized PRs) mean:

  • Fast and predictable releases to production:
    • Optimal size changes are more likely to be reviewed faster with fewer
      iterations.
    • Similarity in low PR complexity drives similar review times.
  • Review quality is likely higher as complexity is lower:
    • Bugs are more likely to be detected.
    • Code inconsistencies are more likely to be detected.
  • Knowledge sharing is improved within the participants:
    • Small portions can be assimilated better.
  • Better engineering practices are exercised:
    • Solving big problems by dividing them in well contained, smaller problems.
    • Exercising separation of concerns within the code changes.

What can I do to optimize my changes

  • Use the PullRequestQuantifier to quantify your PR accurately
    • Create a context profile for your repo using the context generator
    • Exclude files that are not necessary to be reviewed or do not increase the review complexity. Example: Autogenerated code, docs, project IDE setting files, binaries, etc. Check out the Excluded section from your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Understand your typical change complexity, drive towards the desired complexity by adjusting the label mapping in your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
    • Only use the labels that matter to you, see context specification to customize your prquantifier.yaml context profile.
  • Change your engineering behaviors
    • For PRs that fall outside of the desired spectrum, review the details and check if:
      • Your PR could be split in smaller, self-contained PRs instead
      • Your PR only solves one particular issue. (For example, don't refactor and code new features in the same PR).

How to interpret the change counts in git diff output

  • One line was added: +1 -0
  • One line was deleted: +0 -1
  • One line was modified: +1 -1 (git diff doesn't know about modified, it will
    interpret that line like one addition plus one deletion)
  • Change percentiles: Change characteristics (addition, deletion, modification)
    of this PR in relation to all other PRs within the repository.
