Recent changes to Connect-AZAccount -DeviceCode cause display issues in the PowerShell ISE

[cdiskan]

Description

Recent changes to the Connect-AzAaccount cmdlet in the Az.Accounts module cause a display issue when the -DeviceCode switch is used in the PowerShell ISE.

I suspect this is caused by the new display formatting added to the cmdlet.

Example in ISE:

The device code presented is still valid, however it is bracketed by "[4m" on the starting side of the device code, and "[0m" on the ending side of the device code.

Given the lack of PS v7 support in the ISE this may not be surprising, but figured it should be documented in case other folks stuck on legacy scripting tools run into the issue. The issue does not appear when using the same cmd in the PowerShell v5.1 console, only in the ISE itself.

Thanks for reporting. @BethanyZhou let's consider having different behaviors on ps5/7+

[BethanyZhou]

Hi @isra-fel , PowerShell ISE is an integrated scripting Environment different with PowerShell 5/7. I'm not sure if we should support this platform as well?

[isra-fel]

Let's implement a fall back for ISE. We should check if the terminal (on Windows) supports VT and ISE will return false. In PowerShell, it would be: $host.ui.supportsvirtualterminal

Hi There ,

Did this issue get addressed? I know it was reported in March. I had a similar issue today.

[isra-fel]

Hi we are working on this. @lijinpei2008 please update this thread when we make progress. Thanks.

[lijinpei2008]

The issue has been fixed and will be rolled out in a later release.
