AndreyBelym · 2020-01-23T15:17:21Z

The output looks pretty normal. I have to prepare a debug build that will display a hidden PowerShell stdout and stderr output. Won't you mind to install it when it is ready?

Holger2233 · 2020-01-23T22:00:28Z

Sure, no problem.
In case it helps, a colleague here was able to replicate the original issue reported in #4646, but as he is on leave right now I did not manage to replicate the current behaviour with him, it might be related to the system configuration provided by our internal IT department. Please let me know if you need any more specific information.

AndreyBelym · 2020-01-24T17:12:48Z

Thank you for your patience. Please install the debug build by running

npm install https://git.io/JvtxA

or

npm install --global https://git.io/JvtxA

and share the output.

Holger2233 · 2020-01-26T21:21:18Z

here's the command output:

AndreyBelym · 2020-01-28T08:43:19Z

Thank you for the provided output. Unfortunately, this error indicates a problem with the debug build's package. Could you please install the second build by using npm i https://git.io/JvmjR? I've modified the package metadata and now it should be installed correctly.

Holger2233 · 2020-01-28T21:37:55Z

Ok, done. But it does not look like it generated a logfile this time:

Type "testcafe -h" for help.

AndreyBelym · 2020-01-29T11:35:44Z

Thank you for your cooperation. I can reproduce the issue now.

It is caused by a combination of enabled PowerShell Strict Mode in your PowerShell profile, this escape sequence in a template string in testcafe-browser-tools and the issue with escape sequences in dedent.

We need to fix the template string and avoid loading user profiles for PowerShell. As a workaround, you can try to locate the Set-StrictMode in your PowerShell profile scripts and remove it.

Holger2233 · 2020-02-12T04:42:29Z

Hi @AndreyBelym your workaround is doing the trick for now, but do you have any update on this and a potential fix? All I know is that the latest version 1.8.1 that has been released since I raised this issue has not brought any improvements.

AndreyBelym · 2020-02-12T07:48:32Z

Unfortunately, we don't have time to fix it and include it into the upcoming release (which is expected to be v1.8.2 and should be released during the next week). But it's very likely that we'll fix it in v.1.8.3 or v1.9.0.

Holger2233 · 2020-03-17T21:27:39Z

Hi @AndreyBelym I noticed that v1.8.3 has now been released. I presume the issue has not been addressed, given that it has not been closed?

AlexKamaev · 2020-03-19T08:54:35Z

@Holger2233 yes, we will close the issue once it's fixed.

Holger2233 · 2020-05-27T21:55:11Z

Hi @AlexKamaev and @AndreyBelym I just installed the latest version 1.8.5 and re-enabled PS strict mode again (which was disabled as temporary workaround), but does not look like the issue is fixed yet. Testcafe still does not run and fails with the error below, while working fine with PS Strict mode disabled.

Tests run in chrome browser
Using locally installed version of TestCafe.

Hi, the fix was merged into our codebase, but we need to publish a new release. The fix will be included in testcafe@1.8.6. I will post a message in this thread when it is available.

AndreyBelym · 2020-06-02T07:07:46Z

Thank you for your patience. I want to inform that testcafe@1.8.6 is available. You can install and test it in your environment.
