When [System.Management.Automation.CommandCompletion]::CompleteInput is provided a ScriptBlock or AST that has a definition of the command to be completed in it the ArgumentCompleters that are registered in the PowerShell instance are ignored.
This issue is mostly visible when an editor(Visual Studio Code) leverages the CompleteInput to provide Intellisense(As seen in PowerShell/vscode-powershell#2162 ).
@powershell/powershell I am currently working on a fix for this and will submit a PullRequest if deemed valid.
Steps to reproduce
$script = @'
function Test-Completion {
param (
[String]$TestVal
)
}
[scriptblock]$completer = {
param($commandName, $parameterName, $wordToComplete, $commandAst, $fakeBoundParameters)
@('Val1','Val2','Val3')
}
Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName Test-Completion -ParameterName TestVal -ScriptBlock $completer
Test-Completion -TestVal
'@
$scriptBl = {
function Test-Completion {
param (
[String]$TestVal
)
}
[scriptblock]$completer = {
param($commandName, $parameterName, $wordToComplete, $commandAst, $fakeBoundParameters)
@('Val1', 'Val2', 'Val3')
}
Register-ArgumentCompleter -CommandName Test-Completion -ParameterName TestVal -ScriptBlock $completer
}
$pwsh = [PowerShell]::Create()
$pwsh.AddScript($scriptBl)
$pwsh.Invoke()
([System.Management.Automation.CommandCompletion]::CompleteInput($script, $script.Length, $null, $pwsh)).CompletionMatchesExpected behavior
