In this case, the crash is telling us the extension can't find the PSScriptAnalyzer module (or it finds one without the Invoke-Formatting command). Look in your log file for a few lines that should look like this:

2/9/2018 9:43:50 AM [NORMAL] - Method "FindPSScriptAnalyzerModule" at line 354 of C:\projects\powershelleditorservices\src\PowerShellEditorServices\Analysis\AnalysisService.cs

    PSScriptAnalyzer found at C:\Users\Keith\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.5.1\modules\PSScriptAnalyzer\PSScriptAnalyzer.psd1

2/9/2018 9:43:50 AM [VERBOSE] - Method "EnumeratePSScriptAnalyzerCmdlets" at line 389 of C:\projects\powershelleditorservices\src\PowerShellEditorServices\Analysis\AnalysisService.cs

    The following cmdlets are available in the imported PSScriptAnalyzer module:
        Get-ScriptAnalyzerRule
        Invoke-Formatter
        Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer

What do you get when the extension tries to load this module? Where does it find the module and is there a valid module at that path?

It finds the module in my local user path

Copying the PSScriptAnalyzer module folder from the .vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.powershell-1.5.1\modules

fixed it

Thank you for your help @rkeithhill

@craig-martin I believe this to be a different root cause. Can you open a new issue with the info above?

@rjmholt I wonder if this line:

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShellEditorServices/blob/4b39d013c4dde376b8811a80300465bc97c9866d/src/PowerShellEditorServices/Workspace/Workspace.cs#L436

Should be using TryGetFile() instead. GetFile() can return null and if that does, it is passed recursively to RecursivelyFindReferences() which dereferences it. I "think" that is where the NRE is coming from.

Done. Thanks!
