I found that during formatting, some keywords aren't separated from leading braces (while), and some are seemingly ignored entirely (until). Also, unary operators (-not, -bnot, etc.) aren't separated with whitespace the same way as binary operators (-eq, -like, etc.).
Steps to reproduce
- Paste the following into a script
- Use Invoke-Formatter or the PowerShell VSCode extension to format the document
if(-not$false) {
do{
"Hello!"
}until(
$True
)
do{
"Oh, hi!"
}while(
-not$True
)
while(-not$True) {
"This won't show up."
}
}Expected behavior
Roughly the following output. Some is dependent on brace style (OTBS in this case), but all rules for inserting whitespace around keywords and operators should be enabled.
if (-not $false) {
do {
'Hello!'
} until (
$True
)
do {
'Oh, hi!'
} while (
-not $True
)
while (-not $True) {
"This won't show up."
}
}Actual behavior
if (-not$false) { # -not isn't separated by whitespace
do {
'Hello!'
}until( # no whitespace around Until
$True
)
do {
'Oh, hi!'
}while ( # only trailing whitespace for While
-not$True # no separation
)
while (-not$True) { # no separation for -not and -bnot
"This won't show up."
}
