Summary

To get around PowerShell/PSResourceGet#1494 I've been modifying $env:PSModulePath to include a folder where my modules are stored done using Save-Module. Due to the extension not loading my Powershell profile the env isn't being modified and is breaking access to modules.

You might have to use a different path for profile with vscode. See:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/shell/creating-profiles?view=powershell-7.4
• https://til.secretgeek.net/vs_code/vscode_powershell_profile.html

I use following paths for profile, which also loads in VSCode:

# PowerShell 6/7
[System.IO.Path]::Combine(
    [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments'),
    'PowerShell',
    'Profile.ps1'
)

# Windows PowerShell 5.1
[System.IO.Path]::Combine(
    [System.Environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments'),
    'WindowsPowerShell',
    'Profile.ps1'
)

Or you can modify $env:PSModulePath in user or system context, then a $profile is not needed.

# User context
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
    'PSModulePath',
    '<value1>;<value2>',
    'User'
)

# System context
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(
    'PSModulePath',
    '<value1>;<value2>',
    'Machine'
)

Well I missed the fact that my vscode profile was named Microsoft.VSCode_profile.ps1.ps1
