Issue Description

I have opened an issue on the PSScriptAnalyzer github page, and they told me to post it here:
Link to the Issue

Steps to reproduce

  • Open Visual Studio Code
  • Create a new PowerShell file
  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+P and select PowerShell: Select PSScriptAnalyzer rules
  • The list is shown... If you type in the new file: "gc C:\Dell", it highlightes the "gc" command correctly.
  • Then open an existent file on Visual Studio Code
  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+P and select PowerShell: Select PSScriptAnalyzer rules
  • Nothing happens and typing "gc" or any other command that triggers PSScriptAnalyzer, is not working anymore... I have to close Visual Studio Code.
  • Trying to configure settings.json using this:
    "powershell.scriptAnalysis.settingsPath": "c:\users\lee\PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1"
    the first part doesn't turn blue (accepeted command) and it returns something like path not found.

Expected behavior

  • Automatically start analyzing the code on any file new or opened.
  • Being able to configure settings.json

Actual behavior

  • Not being able to use PSScriptAnalyzer
  • Not being able to configure it using settings.json

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in Visual Studio Code with the listed PowerShell, extension, and PSScriptAnalyzer versions, then review the linked PSScriptAnalyzer issue and the extension's analysis integration. Done means analysis works for both new and opened files, and the settingsPath configuration is accepted without a path error.
