Build Executable - Console Window doesn't automatcially close?

[BrandonC]

I am building an executable and everything runs perfectly, except I noticed the console window for the application doesn't close when I close out the GUI. I was hiding the console window at first but making it visible I can see that it does need to be manually closed right now in order for the exe to actually close.

Is there something I can set or run to make sure the console window closes when i close my application?

Thank you.

Can you give me a little sample of the script you are packaging and how you are packaging the script (settings for Merge-Script)?

[BrandonC]

#Initializing the runspaces
$Global:syncHash = [hashtable]::Synchronized(@{})
$newRunspace =[runspacefactory]::CreateRunspace()
$newRunspace.ApartmentState = "STA"
$newRunspace.ThreadOptions = "ReuseThread"
$newRunspace.Open()
$newRunspace.SessionStateProxy.SetVariable("syncHash",$syncHash)

# Load WPF assembly if necessary
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('presentationframework')



$psCmd = [PowerShell]::Create().AddScript({})
$psCmd.Runspace = $newRunspace
$data = $psCmd.BeginInvoke()

The meat of the code I'm packaging is inside $psCmd = [PowerShell]::Create().AddScript({})

I'm packaging the script by selecting the entrypoint in the advanced properties of the project and building the solution. I"m not using merge-script at all to my knowledge

I can confirm I'm seeing the same behavior.

[CmdletBinding()]
param(
    [object[]]$Server,
    [int]$Port,
    [switch]$ConfigOnly
)

. "$PSScriptRoot\New-ReportAssessment.ps1"

# Forcing a version to be used to make this more stable
Import-Module dbatools -RequiredVersion 0.9.784 -Verbose:$false

$fileDate = Get-Date -Format yyyyMMdd_HHmmss

foreach ($s in $Server) {
    try {
        New-ReportAssessment -server $s -port $Port -configOnly:$ConfigOnly | Out-File "$server_assessment_$fileDate.html"
    } catch {
        "Error found exeucting command: $($_.Exception)"
    }
}

The dot sourced script is simply running Invoke-DbaQuery and collecting data to build out an HTML file. Even when the function New-ReportAssessment fails the console will remain open.
