Powershell doesn't interpret '-' arguments correctly : Unexpected token '-s'

Gut-extension: 2.2.0 Godot-tools: 2.0.0 Windows 10

Note: Careful when you'll test, I think there's something wrong with godot-tools' release. It says the version is 2.0.0 but I get this error, as if you last PR adding getGodotPath is not included:

2024-02-28 20:38:10.171 [error] Error: command 'godotTools.getGodotPath' not found

Anyhow, I installed it from their master branch: https://nightly.link/godotengine/godot-vscode-plugin/workflows/ci/master/godot-tools.zip

Now I get this error:

I don't know by what cursed Powershell dark magic, but if I add an & at the start it runs Gut correctly:

PS C:\Users\Bob\Desktop\GodotProjects\TestProjectVscode> & "c:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Godot Engine/godot.windows.opt.tools.64.exe" -s res://addons/gut/gut_cmdln.gd  -d

The extension usually adds in the & for you. For some reason it's not detecting that the shell is powershell and not putting in the &. I got a release that should be coming out in a day or so that changes shell detection and offers up more settings to make working around stuff like this easier.

I'll comment when I have it all merged.

[bitwes]

The changes have been merged. Detecting powershell should be more reliable now. Also, if it is still getting it wrong you can set the shell in the extension settings to "powershell" and that should fix it. If it doesn't you can set the shell to "cmd" and see if that works, or any other valid shell name/path.

Amazing! It works well!
