Issue Description

Sometimes I run a PowerShell script, and the Debug Console shows nothing.

Sometimes I run a PowerShell script, and the Debug Console shows output, but not Error stream output.

Sometimes I run a PowerShell script and the Debug Console shows output from the Output and Error streams, as expected.

This happens with both VSCode and VSCode Insiders (as of today's release).

Reproduction Steps

Yep, this is a general problem with output flushing at the moment. I've got an issue filed at the PS Editor Services repo to track the work for this: PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices#138

@daviwil Thanks, this is a show-stopper for VSCode. I'm using the PowerShell Console host to run tests for now, instead. Still authoring in VSCode.

can you make 0.6.2 available, it;s the last working verion

[daviwil]

Hey @bughit, there's a set of steps you can follow here to get back to 0.6.2 (just change the version from 0.6.1 to 0.6.2):

Is it the script output issue that's blocking you or something else?
