Updates OCGV and SHOT to Terminal.Gui v2

Ports Out-ConsoleGridView and Show-ObjectTree from Terminal.Gui v1 (1.17.1) to Terminal.Gui v2 (2.0.0). Also upgrades from .NET 8 to .NET 10.

Summary of Changes

Core Platform

Terminal.Gui v1 → v2: Complete rewrite of the UI layer against the v2 API. The old monolithic ConsoleGui.cs is replaced with focused window classes (OutGridViewWindow, ShowObjectTreeWindow).
.NET 8 → .NET 10: Updated global.json, TargetFramework, and all package references.
Build & project infrastructure: Added GraphicalTools.sln, Directory.Build.props, Directory.Packages.props, nuget.config, and tools/ for IDE support and dev environment setup.

Out-ConsoleGridView (`ocgv`)

Rebuilt using Terminal.Gui v2 TableView — native column headers, column sizing, horizontal scrolling, and multi-row selection. Replaces the old ListView-based implementation.
Streaming pipeline support — The UI appears on the first object and rows are added incrementally as the pipeline executes. A spinner in the status bar indicates loading is in progress.
Column sorting — Click column headers to sort ascending/descending (▲/▼ indicators).
-Search parameter — Positions cursor on the first matching row without hiding non-matching rows.
-Focus parameter — Controls whether the table or filter receives initial focus.
Improved TypeGetter — Now uses PowerShell format view definitions (.ps1xml), DefaultDisplayPropertySet, and property fallback in priority order. Properly handles ScriptBlock display entries, column type detection, and primitive types.
Regex-based filtering with real-time filter-as-you-type.
Ctrl+A / Ctrl+D — Select all / Deselect all keybindings.
Status bar with keyboard shortcuts and version info (in -Verbose/-Debug mode).

Show-ObjectTree (`shot`)

Rewritten UI using Terminal.Gui v2 TreeView with RegexTreeViewTextFilter.
Proper recursive object expansion with CachedMemberResult / CachedMemberResultElement for lazy-loaded tree nodes.

Tests

Added xUnit test project (Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools.Tests) with 83 tests covering TypeGetter, DataTableColumn, DataTableRow, OutGridViewDataSource, Serializers, and OutGridViewWindow integration tests.
Added Pester test script (Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools.Tests.ps1).

Documentation

Updated Out-ConsoleGridView.md to reflect all new features (streaming, sorting, Search, Focus, Ctrl+D).
Updated Show-ObjectTree.md to reflect current parameter set.
Updated README.md architecture section.

User Behavior Changes

New Parameters

Parameter	Cmdlet(s)	Description
`-Driver`	`ocgv`, `shot`	Sets the Terminal.Gui driver (`ansi`, `windows`, or `unix`). Defaults to `ansi`. Replaces `-UseNetDriver`. `-ForceDriver` is accepted as an alias.
`-FullScreen`	`ocgv`, `shot`	Runs in full-screen mode using the alternate screen buffer. By default, the app now renders inline (no alternate screen buffer).
`-Search`	`ocgv`	Positions cursor on first matching row (non-filtering).
`-Focus`	`ocgv`	Controls initial focus (`Table` or `Filter`).

Removed Parameters

Parameter	Cmdlet(s)	Notes
`-UseNetDriver`	`ocgv`, `shot`	Replaced by `-Driver`. Use `-Driver windows` for equivalent behavior.
`-PassThru`	`ocgv`	Was already removed in a prior release; doc references cleaned up. Use `-OutputMode Multiple` (the default).

Changed Behavior

Inline rendering by default — The app no longer takes over the full terminal with the alternate screen buffer. It renders inline in the current console. Use -FullScreen to get the old full-screen behavior.
TableView-based rendering — Out-ConsoleGridView now uses Terminal.Gui's TableView control for proper column headers, column sizing, horizontal scrolling, and native selection. The old ListView-based approach is removed.
Streaming — Objects are streamed into the table as they arrive. The UI appears immediately on the first object.
Column sorting — Click column headers or use keyboard to sort.
Improved column detection — Out-ConsoleGridView now respects PowerShell format view definitions (.ps1xml files) for column headers and formatting. Objects like those from Get-NetAdapter now display the same columns as Format-Table.
Regex filtering — The filter box now uses regular expressions instead of simple string matching.
Enter with no selection — Pressing Enter without explicitly marking items returns the currently-focused row (previously returned nothing).
MinUI refinement — -MinUI now hides the window frame, filter box, and status bar.

Removed Cmdlet

Out-ConsoleTableView (octv) — Merged into Out-ConsoleGridView. The OCTV implementation (TableView-based with streaming, sorting, etc.) is now the OCGV implementation. The octv alias is removed; use ocgv instead.

Fixes

WIP: Builds but doesn't run

Refactored `ConsoleGui.cs` to improve modularity, readability, and maintainability. Added dynamic layout handling, improved filtering logic, and enhanced status bar functionality. Simplified data loading and display string updates. Updated `GridViewHelpers.cs` to handle nullable column widths and improve robustness. Replaced `Terminal.Gui` package reference with a local project reference in `Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools.csproj` to facilitate debugging. Added `<CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies>` for better build handling. Added new launch profiles in `launchSettings.json` for streamlined debugging with preloaded `Out-ConsoleGridView` module. Upgraded Visual Studio version in `GraphicalTools.sln` to 18.3.11206.111.

tig · 2025-11-13T19:38:48Z

Working.... -ish:

Enhanced the filtering functionality by introducing `_filterErrorView` to display filter-related errors and updated the `ApplyFilter` method to handle `RegexParseException` gracefully. Adjusted `_header` positioning dynamically based on `_filterErrorView` and ensured `ListView` selection defaults to the first item if none is selected. Refactored `ListViewSource_MarkChanged` to handle null `_inputSource` safely. Simplified `StatusBar` creation and improved `filterErrorView` behavior with `Dim.Auto` for dynamic height and error-specific styling. Updated `launchSettings.json` with new configurations (`OCGV -Filter`, `OCGV`, `OCGV -MinUi`) for better debugging flexibility. Cleaned up redundant code, improved null safety, and adjusted `Window` dimensions for `MinUI` mode.

Refactored `OnWinSubViewLayout` to add null checks for `_header` to ensure safety and prevent runtime exceptions. Simplified "Select All" and "Select None" logic by replacing manual iteration with `_listView?.MarkAll` calls and added comments to address a `Terminal.Gui` bug requiring explicit redraws. Removed default `Ctrl-A` keybinding from `_listView` to allow custom handling in the status bar. Updated `LangVersion` in `Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools.csproj` to `preview` to enable preview language features. Fixed formatting in the `ProjectReference` element for consistency.

Add SOT launch config and update Esc shortcut description Added a new "SOT" launch configuration in `launchSettings.json` to run the `Show-ObjectTree` command using PowerShell 7-preview. Updated the "Esc" key shortcut description in `ShowObjectView.cs` from `"~ESC~ Close"` to `"Close"` for improved clarity.

Refactored `ConsoleGui` and `ShowObjectView` classes to improve readability, maintainability, and adherence to modern C# conventions. Key changes include: - Updated `FILTER_LABEL` to `_Filter` for UI consistency. - Simplified `ConsoleGui` initialization logic and removed redundant `SetNeedsDraw` call. - Rewrote `ShowObjectView` to use nullable fields, modern syntax, and dynamic regex validation. - Refactored `GetChildren` to handle nested objects with a `while` loop. - Improved `CachedMemberResult` and `CachedMemberResultElement` with better encapsulation and naming conventions. - Enhanced `RegexTreeViewTextFilter` with a primary constructor and better regex error handling. - Simplified `Run` method in `ShowObjectView` for cleaner application lifecycle management. - Fixed typos in comments and replaced redundant comments with concise explanations. - General cleanup using modern C# features like expression-bodied methods, pattern matching, and `null`-coalescing operators.

Refactored namespaces to align with `Microsoft.PowerShell` conventions, replacing `OutGridView.Cmdlet` and `OutGridView.Models`. Updated the module version to `0.9.0` to reflect significant changes. Improved code readability and maintainability by adding XML documentation, enforcing consistent naming conventions, and removing redundant code. Enhanced null safety with nullable annotations and null checks. Refactored key classes (`ConsoleGui`, `GridViewDataSource`, `GridViewDetails`, `GridViewHelpers`, `OutConsoleGridviewCmdletCommand`, `ShowObjectTreeCmdletCommand`, etc.) to simplify logic, improve error handling, and ensure modern C# practices. Updated `launchSettings.json` to rename the `SOT` profile to `SHOT` for consistency with the `Show-ObjectTree` cmdlet. Enhanced serialization logic in `Serializers.cs` and improved type handling in `TypeGetter.cs`. These changes improve the maintainability, safety, and usability of the module while aligning with modern development standards.

Refactored the `ConsoleGui` class into a new class named `OutConsoleGridView` to improve modularity and maintainability. The `ConsoleGui` class was removed, and its functionality was moved to `OutConsoleGridView`, which is now implemented in a separate file (`OutConsoleGridView.cs`). Updated all references to `ConsoleGui` in `OutConsoleGridViewCmdletCommand`: - Replaced `_consoleGui` with `_outConsoleGridView`. - Updated method calls to use `OutConsoleGridView` methods. - Updated the `Dispose` method to dispose of `_outConsoleGridView`. This change reorganizes the codebase for better readability and separation of concerns without introducing any functional changes.

The `Cmdlet` attribute for the `OutConsoleGridViewCmdletCommand` class was updated to rename the cmdlet from `Out-ConsoleGridView` to `ConsoleGridView`. This change simplifies the cmdlet name and may align with a new naming convention. The alias `[Alias("ocgv")]` remains unchanged, ensuring backward compatibility for users familiar with the shorthand.

… unit testing. Refactored `OutConsoleGridView` and `ShowObjectTree` for improved maintainability and performance: - Introduced `OutGridViewWindow` and `ShowObjectTreeWindow` to encapsulate UI logic. - Added `CachedMemberResult` and `CachedMemberResultElement` for better object hierarchy handling. - Implemented `RegexTreeViewTextFilter` for regex-based filtering in tree views. Enhanced data handling and UI: - Replaced `DataTable` with direct `PSObjects` handling in `ApplicationData`. - Improved grid view filtering, column width calculations, and status bar shortcuts. - Enhanced tree view to display object hierarchies with filtering and status bar updates. Refactored `TypeGetter`: - Added caching for `FormatViewDefinition` lookups. - Made `CastObjectsToTableView` static for reusability. Updated dependencies and removed legacy code: - Updated `Directory.Packages.props` to use `System.Management.Automation`. - Removed redundant and outdated code from `OutConsoleGridView`. Bug fixes and documentation: - Fixed column width calculation issues and concurrency in `TypeGetter`. - Improved error handling for invalid regex patterns. - Added XML documentation for all new and modified classes.

Added a null check in `GetFormatViewDefinitionForObject` to handle cases where `typeName` is null, returning early if necessary. Introduced a caching mechanism using `_formatCache.TryGetValue` to improve performance by reusing cached format view definitions. Refactored object-to-data-table conversion code for better readability by reformatting inline initializations of `DecimalValue` and `StringValue`. Improved clarity in data type assignment logic by wrapping nested loops in braces and adopting modern C# syntax (`is not`) for type checks.

Updated `GetFormatViewDefinitionForType` to create a runspace with the default initial session state, ensuring proper loading of format data. Removed redundant fallback logic for `Get-FormatData` invocation. Added `Debug.Assert` to validate non-null results. Updated comments to reflect the new behavior. Included `System.Diagnostics` for debugging utilities.

Enhanced object formatting and display logic in the `Out-ConsoleGridView` cmdlet: - Added `GetFormatDataForObjects` to retrieve format data for PowerShell objects. - Updated `EndProcessing` to include format data in `ApplicationData`. - Improved `DataTable` construction to use format data and added dynamic column formatting. - Introduced `IsIdentifierProperty` to handle identifier-specific formatting. - Added `FormatString` and `FormatValue` to `DataTableColumn` for flexible value formatting. - Enhanced `IValue` interface with `OriginalValue` for raw data access. Refactored `TypeGetter` to simplify format data retrieval and object-to-table conversion. Updated `launchSettings.json` to include new profiles and simplify commands. Performed general code cleanup, removed legacy methods, and improved documentation for better maintainability.

Refactored `Render` method in `GridViewDataSource` to improve alignment handling. Enhanced column width management in `OutGridViewWindow` by introducing natural width calculations, truncation safeguards, and scrollbar support. Simplified layout handling with dynamic content size adjustments. Removed deprecated `GetFormatDataForObjects` method and `FormatData` property, transitioning to dynamic column definitions using `TypeGetter`. Improved type handling with caching, ANSI escape sequence stripping, and better fallback logic for primitive types. Updated launch configurations for testing new scenarios. Performed general code cleanup, improving readability, maintainability, and error handling.

Refactored the AddHeaders method to be an inline local function within AddListView, improving modularity and encapsulation. Removed the original AddHeaders implementation and its call from the constructor. The new AddHeaders method is conditionally invoked when _applicationData.MinUI is false. Updated the Y positioning of _listView to use _filterErrorView instead of _filterLabel. Adjusted _listView padding and scrollbar position to integrate the header. Changed MARGIN_LEFT constant from 1 to 0 to refine UI layout.

Add AllProperties toggle to Out-ConsoleGridView cmdlet Introduced a new `AllProperties` parameter to the `Out-ConsoleGridView` cmdlet, allowing users to display all object properties instead of default display properties. Key changes: - Added `AllProperties` as a `SwitchParameter` in `OutConsoleGridViewCmdletCommand`. - Updated `ApplicationData` to store the `AllProperties` state. - Enhanced `OutGridViewWindow` with a `CheckBox` for toggling `AllProperties` and dynamic updates to the grid view and status bar. - Added `ReloadDataWithAllProperties` and `UpdateStatusBar` methods to handle UI updates. - Modified `TypeGetter` to support `AllProperties`, prioritizing format view definitions, default display property sets, and fallback to all properties. - Updated `CastObjectsToTableView` to include an `allProperties` parameter. - Improved compatibility with CIM instances by using the current runspace for format data retrieval. These changes enhance the cmdlet's flexibility and usability, particularly for inspecting all object properties.

Refactored `OutConsoleGridViewCmdletCommand` and `OutGridViewWindow` classes for improved readability, maintainability, and performance. Introduced a new `Header` class for dynamic grid column headers with bold and underlined styles. Simplified logic, removed redundant methods, and optimized nullability handling. Enhanced `TypeGetter` to filter out expensive `PS*` metadata properties, improving performance. Updated `ApplicationData` to clarify `AllProperties` behavior and removed unused imports. Added a new launch configuration in `launchSettings.json` for testing the `-AllProperties` parameter. Improved status bar shortcuts and event handling for better user experience. Updated comments and documentation for consistency.

Updated the assignment of `dataTableColumns` to explicitly convert the result of `typeGetter.GetDataColumnsForObject` into a `List<DataTableColumn>` using `.ToList()`. This change ensures compatibility and enables list-specific operations, improving code clarity and robustness.

- Bump TargetFramework to net10.0 and update SDK to 10.0.101 - Switch NuGet source to nuget.org; comment out PowerShell feed - Replace UseNetDriver with ForceDriver for driver selection - Refactor app startup for Terminal.Gui 2.0 (IApplication, driver API) - Update UI code for Terminal.Gui 2.0: focus, events, property names - Add support for specifying driver (ansi, windows, unix) via cmdlet - Modernize code with C# 12 features and improve nullability - Standardize help text to "TUI" and clean up comments - Update package references and launch settings for debugging

Hey mate, how are you building this at the moment? Using the Invoke-Build as per the main docs seems to build ok but I get this error trying to load the module.

Import-Module: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.

I'm just using VS 2026. All the imvoke-build stuff got me confused, so I just ignored it as I'm developing. Happy for guidance.

BDisp · 2026-02-13T18:06:48Z

Probably is because PowerShell is targeting "version": "10.0.102" and the PR is targeting "version": "10.0.101".

Sorting now works.

There's no keyboard UI for this (yet).

That has been on my To-Do list to have a look at, but I've been lazy and/or busy lol.

I also had a look at the Phyton Textual library 😋, but ugh Python... There is a MsGraph module for it, but Powershell is just so convenient for working with Microsoft Cloud services. And I don't really want to start all over again.

@andyleejordan FJYI - TG v2.1.0 is almost in the can. It has some breaking changes for TableView. Let's wait to ship the new release until I can update this PR. Ok?

Fix breaking change: TableSelection.Cursor renamed to TableSelection.SelectedCell. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

2.1.0 stable is not published to the PowerShellCore_PublicPackages feed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The ADO feed requires auth for upstream packages not yet cached locally. Adding nuget.org as a direct source so CI can resolve Terminal.Gui 2.1.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

tig · 2026-05-08T13:19:50Z

@andyleejordan I probably didn't do the nuget stuff right, but I wanted to verify ci/cd passed.

Other than that I think we're ready to launch!!

Is there a way to test this development branch?

tig · 2026-05-08T19:50:09Z

Is there a way to test this development branch?

git clone it

then Invoke-Build

then you can install the module. I'd run a clean shell first:

pwsh
Remove-Module -Verbose -Force Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools
Import-Module -Verbose module/Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools.dll
ls | ocgv

The test package bumps keep tripping a `MemberNotNullWhenAttribute` `TypeLoadException` in seven `OutGridViewWindowIntegrationTests`, even after clean restores. I pared this back to the updates that still pass the full suite so we can land the PowerShell refresh without dragging in the test host regression. - `Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK` 7.5.4 -> 7.6.1 - `System.Management.Automation` 7.5.4 -> 7.6.1 - `global.json` SDK 10.0.101 -> 10.0.102 I tested with a full `dotnet clean`, `restore`, `build`, and `test` run against `GraphicalTools.slnx`; all 83 tests pass.

Thanks for the marathon on this one, @tig — and thanks @Tweekism and @BDisp for all the dev-cycle testing. The scope and quality of work here speaks for itself; I'm comfortable treating this as ready to ship with a couple of small housekeeping items, one of which I've already pushed.

Runtime/SDK package refresh — pushed as 15688a0. Since this PR was already moving the whole stack to .NET 10 + Terminal.Gui v2, I went ahead and added a commit on top with the safe set of bumps:

Package	From	To
`Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK`	7.5.4	7.6.1
`System.Management.Automation`	7.5.4	7.6.1
`global.json` SDK	10.0.101	10.0.102 (matches `PowerShell/PowerShell`)

All 83 tests pass locally with that set. Hope you don't mind the direct push — happy to revert if you'd rather take it yourself.

Test-tooling bumps — held back. I also tried bumping Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk (17.12.0 → 17.14.1 / 18.5.1), xunit.runner.visualstudio (3.0.1 → 3.1.5), and coverlet.collector (6.0.4 → 10.0.1) together, but that consistently broke all 7 OutGridViewWindowIntegrationTests with System.TypeLoadException: ... Microsoft.TestPlatform.CoreUtilities, Version=15.0.0.0 ... MemberNotNullWhenAttribute. The currently-pinned versions work fine, so leaving them alone is the right call for this PR. Worth a follow-up issue at some point but not blocking. Newtonsoft.Json (13.0.4), xunit (2.9.3), and Terminal.Gui (2.1.0) are already on current stable.

One small security/cleanup ask (also called out inline on the two files): src/Microsoft.PowerShell.OutGridView.Models/Serializers.cs still carries its own BUGBUG: This appears to be unused code comment, and a repo-wide code search confirms it has no production callers — only the brand-new SerializersTests.cs references it. The class is public and uses TypeNameHandling.All, which is the textbook deserialization-gadget vector if any consumer of the OutGridView.Models assembly ever feeds it untrusted input. Rather than adding test coverage for it, I'd prefer we delete both Serializers.cs and SerializersTests.cs in this PR. Happy to push that commit too if it's easier.

Nothing else from me — the streaming + UI-thread coalescing pattern in OutConsoleGridView.AddObject / OnDataChanged reads cleanly, the OutGridViewDataSource lock discipline looks correct, and the regex filter/search paths handle RegexParseException in the right places. Once the Serializers removal lands, this is good to go from my side.

…onfig 17.14.x is broken upstream by an unfixed regression: microsoft/vstest#15075 throws TypeLoadException for MemberNotNullWhenAttribute on Microsoft.TestPlatform.CoreUtilities during assembly scanning. Terminal.Gui's ConfigurationManager runs that scan from its static module initializer, so there is no in-process workaround. Microsoft has closed the issue as 'not planned'; the recommended workaround (skip TestPlatform assemblies during scanning) is not reachable from user code. Also drops the nuget.org source from nuget.config so all packages flow through the PowerShellCore_PublicPackages CFS feed only; ingestion of the new versions verified locally via interactive restore.

andyleejordan · 2026-05-18T21:22:53Z

Follow-up on the package refresh — two more housekeeping commits on top of 15688a0:

10b3a8d — Pin Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk at 17.13.0 and drop nuget.org from nuget.config.

Tried bumping Test.Sdk to 17.14.1 / 18.5.x; all 7 OutGridViewWindowIntegrationTests blow up at Terminal.Gui startup with System.TypeLoadException: ... MemberNotNullWhenAttribute ... Microsoft.TestPlatform.CoreUtilities, Version=15.0.0.0. Root cause is a known upstream regression: microsoft/vstest#15075, closed not_planned. The 17.14.x rebuild of CoreUtilities.dll dropped the MemberNotNullWhenAttribute polyfill, but sibling testhost assemblies still carry metadata references that resolve the attribute back to CoreUtilities. Terminal.Gui v2's ConfigurationManager runs its assembly scan from a static module initializer (.cctor), so nothing in user code — xunit fixtures, AppDomain.AssemblyResolve, TypeResolve — gets to install a filter before the scan throws. Microsoft's recommended workaround (skip TestPlatform assemblies during scanning) isn't reachable from our side. Net: 17.13.0 is the highest safe pin until either vstest 18.x stops referencing the polyfill or Terminal.Gui exposes a public hook for the scan. All 83 tests pass with this commit.

I also dropped nuget.org back out of nuget.config so all packages flow through the PowerShellCore_PublicPackages CFS feed only (per the policy we discussed back on April 30). Verified ingestion locally by clearing the NuGet cache and doing an interactive restore against CFS-only — every restored package's .nupkg.metadata now shows the Azure DevOps feed as the source.

Happy to revert either commit if you'd rather take these yourself.
