Designer does not open after recent updates. No error message
Disovered the issue at v5.28.1 , did a downgrade to 5.27.2 and it works now
Hi Sandra,
Can you please check event viewer for any error messages when trying to open the designer? I thought this issue had be resolved in 5.28.1.
Thanks,
Adam
Hi Adam
Tried to see if I could find anything
Both are Visual Studio Code
Server 2016 PowerShell Pro Tools v 5.27.2 - Working

Windows 10 PowerShell Pro Tools v 5.28.1
On my windows 10 machine there’s no logs , no events that I manage to find
When I hit the «Start Designer» icon i see that powershell status strip says «starting form designer for about 4 seconds but nothing happens.
The only events captured are CCM
The designer has previously worked on both machines and I discovered the issue on Server 2016 first.
Downgraded Windows 10 to 5.27.2 and it works
Upgraded to 5.27.3 still working
Upgraded to 5.28.1 and nothing happens
I hope that helps. Tell me if you need anything specific tested
Regards
Sandra
Strange. Do you have an lucky open PSScriptPad directly? It can be downloaded here: https://psscriptpad.blob.core.windows.net/releases/PSScriptPad.x64.zip
Hi
No problem at all to open directly.
In VS Code, can you please open the PowerShell Pro Tools output pane? Are there any errors listed there?
It’s still in the process of connecting so it makes sense that the form designer isn’t open. The extension hasn’t fully activated.
We must have a problem here though since that should happen pretty quickly.
Yes it doesn’t change even if i’m hitting all buttons I can find. But older versions works like a charm and the standalone works so there’s no rush from my side
