@dsolodow Can you provide more details please?

Given the following snippet

if($foo){
    'hello'
}

The powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBeforeOpenBrace setting would make it insert a space before the open brace if the setting is set to true

if($foo) {
    'hello'
}

The powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBeforeOpenParen setting would make it insert a space before the open parenthesis if the setting is set to true

if ($foo){
    'hello'
}

If that is not the case for you please state that or your specific problem and the settings you use.

[dsolodow]

Sure!

    [ValidateScript({Test-Path -Path $PSItem})]

If powershell.codeFormatting.whitespaceBeforeOpenBrace is true, it shows as:

    [ValidateScript( {Test-Path -Path $PSItem})]

I probably should have phrased my report better; it does as the setting name suggests insert whitespace before the open brace. However, the info with the setting says "Adds a space between a keyword and its associated scriptblock expression" and a parentheses isn't a keyword.

So perhaps this is better described as a mismatch between the behavior indicated by the setting description and the actual behavior.
