Exception in PowerLinePrompt about powerline HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm so sorry about this, folks! I have apparently been missing my notifications again.

I completely screwed up when I changed that class name in PANSIES. I initially removed all the Win32 specific stuff, and then decided that this one feature might still be needed on some versions of Windows in certain scenarios.

I completely forgot it was being used in PowerLine, because I have been running with RestoreVirtualTerminal turned off ever since Windows Terminal came out (I don't think we actually need to call that anymore, but I did not deliberately change the name). You can do work around it by disabling the feature:

Set-PowerLinePrompt -RestoreVirtualTerminal:$false

Or, as @kmsOmega so helpfully pointed out, by changing the class name on that line.

Now that I've seen this, I'll get a fix out ASAP (and I'll see about some of these other issues too, wow).

It took me a long time to find this issue because the searching the site for Unable to find type [PoshCode.Pansies.Console.WindowsHelper] did not return the text from the screenshot. Now that I'm here, it appears that the PoshCode/Pansies/Source/Assembly/NativeMethods.cs script moved the EnableVirtualTerminalProcessing function from [PoshCode.Pansies.Console.WindowsHelper] to [PoshCode.Pansies.NativeMethods].

Edit 0: Corrected [PoshCode.Pansies.NativeMethods+ConsoleOutputModes] to [PoshCode.Pansies.NativeMethods].
Edit 1: PowerLine file: Source/Public/Write-PowerlinePrompt.ps1 - Line 30

Workaround: Install version 1.4.0 of Pansies

Install-Module -Name Pansies -RequiredVersion 1.4.0 -AllowClobber

from powerline.

I am also getting the same error in PS 5.1 using Microsoft Terminal and ConEmu. Removing the latest Pansies and installing v1.4.0 has worked around the error.

@Jaykul - No worries - I have been using PowerLine (as well as Pansies) since I wrote that post two weeks ago and it is intuitive, looks amazing, and provides me with a number of useful pieces of information with each command that I execute. Thank you very much for sharing this!

I believe this is done -- although I do have more releases of all of these still in the pipeline (so to speak)
