`Set-StrictMode -Latest` produces an error in the framework

[iRon7]

In most of my pester tests, I am testing with Set-StrictMode -Latest , like:

Describe 'MyTest' {

    BeforeAll {
        Set-StrictMode -Version Latest
    }
    ....

But this causes an (strictmode) error in the framework

Framework failed:
Result :Error :

Thanks for your submission! Dupe of https://github.com/pester/vscode-adapter/issues/85, the pesterinterface was not written with strictmode in mind as strictmode doesn't really provide much benefit other than a lot more annoying runtime errors. Its on the development list but low in priority, I'll certainly take PRs to refactor the PesterInterface.ps1 to work in strictm ode.
