PR Summary

This reverts commit d8decdc.

This commit broke the VS Code extension's debugger, and should be
reverted until such time that the root cause is found and a fix applied.

Also disable false assertion that blocks pwsh on Parallels VM.

PR Context

The resolves PowerShell/vscode-powershell#4668, where the VS Code extension's debugger no longer worked with preview.4. First I confirmed that it worked with preview.3, then I cloned and built from source. After looking at the diff between preview.3 and preview.4 for changes that affected the debugger in the engine, I only found #14953. While I've looked at the changes in that PR, I haven't yet isolated what broke things; but I reverted the merge commit and confirmed the debugger works again.

PR Checklist

@pull-request-quantifier-deprecated

This PR has 85 quantified lines of changes. In general, a change size of upto 200 lines is ideal for the best PR experience!


Quantification details

Label      : Small
Size       : +39 -46
Percentile : 34%

Total files changed: 4

Change summary by file extension:

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.

Which commit, the debugger being broken or the executable failing on my VM, or both?

Open an issue about the fact that this assertion is wrong on Parallels VM. This code path needs to be reviewed as the assumption is incorrect. Can you please find out what the PSDrive.DriveType is when running in Parallel VM?

@andyleejordan Can you please check what PSDrive.DriveType is when the assertion fails in Parallel VM and share that info in #20043? Thanks!

This is a fallback from another p/invoke GetUNCForNetworkDrive - it is main code path. This says that something can work incorrectly on Parallels VM.
So I suggest investigate the issue in separate PR. Perhaps we need a workaround as we did for WSL.
