Known Issues
SecureString
The SecureString class is not the well-known C# SecureString, as the
library is not available in .NET Core. However, PowerShell continues to use the
type for two main reasons: FullCLR compatibility, and as a specially-treated
type (that is, behavior is dependent on the type being SecureString). Instead,
the SecureString is Mono's completely not secure whatsoever, but open-source
and "compatible" stub that acts just like a plaintext StringBuilder. It has
no encryption.
Additionally ReadLineSafe is not implemented, meaning Get-Credential fails
with PlatformNotSupportedException.
ControlPanelItemCommand.cs
The file monad/src/commands/management/ControlPanelItemCommand.cs has been removed
temporarily from Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Management because we
cannot resolve [Shell32.ShellFolderItem] for FullCLR builds. This must be
fixed ASAP.
GetComputerInfoCommand.cs
The file
src\Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Management\commands\management\GetComputerInfoCommand.cs
is not currently compiled because it needs resources.
Jobs
The PowerShell jobs fail, see #1010.
xUnit
The xUnit tests can only be run on Linux.
Console Output
Performance issues have been seen in some scenarios, such as nested SSH
sessions. We believe this is likely an issue with Console.ReadKey() and are
investigating.
Non-interactive console bugs
The ConsoleHost is buggy when running under an environment without a proper
TTY. This is due to exceptions thrown in the RawUI class from System.Console
that are silenced in the formatting subsystem. See issue #984.
Sessions
PowerShell sessions do not work because of remoting requirements, so
New-PSSession etc. crash.
Aliases
The aliases that conflict with native Linux / OS X commands are removed. This is
an open discussion in issue #929. See commit 7d9f43966 for their removal,
and 3582bb421 for the merge.
Unavailable cmdlets
This project includes the CoreCLR versions of the Commands.Management,
Commands.Utility, Security, and PSDiagnostics modules.
The Archive, Diagnostics, PSGet, and Host modules are not yet included.
The WSMan.Management module cannot be included unless the
Management.Infrastructure.Native library is ported.
The CoreCLR version of the Commands.Utility module does not contain the
following cmdlets that exist in the FullCLR version:
- ConvertFrom-String
- ConvertTo-Html
- Export-PSSession
- Import-PSSession
- Invoke-RestMethod
- Invoke-WebRequest
- Out-GridView
- Out-Printer
- Send-MailMessage
- Show-Command
- Update-List
