PSPropertyAdapter prevents access to class methods and throws InvalidOperationException

Prerequisites

• Write a descriptive title.
• Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
• Search the existing issues.
• Refer to the FAQ.
• Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.

Steps to reproduce

I have created a PSPropertyAdapter in C# using the PowerShellStandard.Library nuget package to define how PowerShell should interact with my class but doing so seems to have prevented access to any inbuilt and custom methods on my class.

Attached Testing Build

PowerShell 5 Get-Host:

Name             : ConsoleHost
Version          : 5.1.19041.5369
InstanceId       : a8f481db-a9d0-4935-9860-b105005849ba
UI               : System.Management.Automation.Internal.Host.InternalHostUserInterface
CurrentCulture   : en-AU
CurrentUICulture : en-GB
PrivateData      : Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost+ConsoleColorProxy
DebuggerEnabled  : True
IsRunspacePushed : False
Runspace         : System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalRunspace

PowerShell Core Get-Host:

Name             : ConsoleHost
Version          : 7.5.0
InstanceId       : f89f6391-bb7a-43b7-baae-bbe634501e76
UI               : System.Management.Automation.Internal.Host.InternalHostUserInterface
CurrentCulture   : en-AU
CurrentUICulture : en-GB
PrivateData      : Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleHost+ConsoleColorProxy
DebuggerEnabled  : True
IsRunspacePushed : False
Runspace         : System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.LocalRunspace

I am able to reproduce the issue by added a simple PSPropertyAdapter to the sample cmdlet created with the template dotnet new psmodule.

For testing, i have launched both PowerShell 5 and PowerShell Core with no profile and loaded the module using ipmo ./PowerShellTypeAdapter.dll

Expected behavior

PowerShell should be able to execute a method on a class (such as .ToString())

PowerShell 5:

Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\scripts\psadapter> ipmo .\PowerShellTypeAdapter.psd1
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f = New-Favorite -FavoriteNumber 3 -FavoritePet Cat
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f.ToString()
PowerShellTypeAdapter.Favorite
PS C:\scripts\psadapter>

PowerShell Core:

PowerShell 7.5.0
PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7> cd C:\scripts\psadapter\
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> ipmo .\PowerShellTypeAdapter.psd1
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f = New-Favorite -FavoriteNumber 3 -FavoritePet Cat
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f.ToString()
PowerShellTypeAdapter.Favorite
PS C:\scripts\psadapter>

Actual behavior

PowerShell 5 works as expected:

Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\scripts\psadapter> ipmo .\PowerShellTypeAdapter.psd1
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f = New-Favorite -FavoriteNumber 3 -FavoritePet Cat
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f.ToString()
PowerShellTypeAdapter.Favorite
PS C:\scripts\psadapter>

PowerShell Core does not work as expected*
*Method invocation works again after the module is removed (which removes the PSPropertyAdapter typedata):

PowerShell 7.5.0
PS C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7> cd C:\scripts\psadapter\
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> ipmo .\PowerShellTypeAdapter.psd1
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f = New-Favorite -FavoriteNumber 3 -FavoritePet Cat
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f.ToString()
InvalidOperation: Method invocation failed because [PowerShellTypeAdapter.Favorite] does not contain a method named 'ToString'.
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> Remove-Module PowerShellTypeAdapter
PS C:\scripts\psadapter> $f.ToString()
PowerShellTypeAdapter.Favorite
PS C:\scripts\psadapter>

Visuals

Comienza con el ejemplo vinculado Bluecakes\PowerShellTypeAdapter y reproduce la diferencia entre PowerShell 5 y PowerShell 7.5 usando PSPropertyAdapter, la importación del módulo y el punto de entrada $f.ToString(). Traza cómo los typedata del adaptador afectan a la búsqueda de métodos; el trabajo estará terminado cuando los métodos de clase sigan pudiendo invocarse en PowerShell Core sin eliminar el módulo.
