Write event on configurationDone for attach requests

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been requested.

Summary

On attach scenarios, it is not possible to wait for all the breakpoints set by the client to be set in the remote runspace. A client could have something like

$originalRunspaces = Get-Runspace

Read-Host -Prompt "Please attach to process $pid with runspace $([Runspce]::DefaultRunspace.Id)"

# Waits for VSCode to attach to runspace, an extra runspace will be created by
# Enter-PSHostProcess
while ($true) {
    $newRunspace = Get-Runspace | Where-Object { $_.Id -notin $runspaces.Id } | Select-Object -First 1
    if ($newRunspace) {
        break
    }
    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 300
}

& .\script.ps1

But this only checks that PSES has attached to the named pipe. It won't wait for PSES to have called Debug-Runspace on the target runspace and more importantly any breakpoints inside script.ps1 to be set. It's also error prone if you cannot control when the attach actually happens as the additional runspace check could have occurred before the first Get-Runspace call.

What would be ideal is for a well known event to be created by PSES when configurationDone was received so that the client only had to do

# Attach to this runspace somehow

$e = Wait-Event -SourceIdentifier PSES.ConfigurationDone -Timeout 30
if ($e) {
    $e | Remove-Event
}
else {
    throw "Timed out waiting for attach event"
}

Proposed Design

My proposal requires some changes to PowerShell itself but I wanted to see if the general idea was acceptable before trying to propose the change there. The benefit of using an event is that no custom functions needed to be loaded, and subsequently checked by the code, and Wait-Event has a simple timeout operation.

Ultimately what needs to happen is for PowerShell to expose a __New-Event command, similar to the new __Set-PSBreakpoint commands, that is treated specially by the PSRemoting server. This would be able to do the following but without having to spin up a new pipeline.

$runspace = Get-Runspace -Id $runspaceId
$runspace.Events.GenerateEvent($SourceId, $Sender, $EventArgs, $EventData)

We cannot just have PSES run this script or call New-Event directly as the runspace pipeline is busy running Debug-Runspace. The only time it can run commands is if the caller ran Wait-Debugger which is not ideal as it will pause the execution and require the client to continue on manually.

An alternative that I haven't tried out yet is to delay Debug-Runspace until after configurationDone is sent. This would allow both the breakpoints and event to be manually emited as commands on the runspace specified without having to block the pipeline with Debug-Runspace. I am not sure if that will be possible though but it could be an option that doesn't require any changes to PowerShell itself.

Comienza rastreando el flujo de attach de PowerShell Editor Services y el manejo de la solicitud configurationDone del protocolo de adaptadores de depuración; después, revisa las API de eventos de PowerShell remoting descritas en la issue. Se considera terminado cuando un cliente de attach puede esperar un evento PSES.ConfigurationDone bien conocido después de haber configurado los breakpoints; determina primero si esto requiere cambios en PowerShell mismo o solo en PSES.
