[Regression] Difference in behavior when using Debug-Runspace from Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7 #13567
Description
Steps to reproduce
Open 2 PowerShell windows of the same version
create a file foo.ps1 that looks like this:
"hello"
Start-Sleep -Seconds 20
"boo"In PowerShell one
PS > $pid | scbIn PowerShell two
PS > Enter-PSHostProcess -Id <PASTE>In PowerShell one
PS > . .\foo.ps1Hurry up and run In PowerShell two:
[Process: 2345] PS > Debug-Runspace 1Expected behavior
This happens in Windows PowerShell
Debugging Runspace: Runspace1
To end the debugging session type the 'Detach' command at the debugger prompt, or type 'Ctrl+C' otherwise.
At C:\Users\tyleonha\Downloads\foo.ps1:3 char:1
+ "boo"
+ ~~~~~
[DBG]: [Process:30956]: [Runspace1]: PS C:\Users\tyleonha\Downloads>>
Actual behavior
This happens in PowerShell 7. Note it does not break into a debug prompt.
Debugging Runspace: Runspace1
To end the debugging session type the 'Detach' command at the debugger prompt, or type 'Ctrl+C' otherwise.
Command or script completed.
To end the debugging session type the 'Detach' command at the debugger prompt, or type 'Ctrl+C' otherwise.
Thoughts
Frankly I'm suspicious of my own PR way back when #11312 that changed this behavior. This parameter -BreakAll mentioned here:
#13527
should probably be -NoBreakAll or have some way to have it on by default and allow you to opt out. This will allow for backcompat for Windows PowerShell and the ability to toggle BreakAll.

So this is why all the 5 guides I found on how to debug runspaces didn't work for me.
As this is a regression bug shouldn't it have higher priority?
