I've noticed that every time I create a new file (without saving it), set it as PowerShell, add in some code, select a fraction (or all of it), followed by pressing F8 I get a notification saying: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined:
Running selection with F8 starts to work only after I run the whole thing with first (F5).
This is not how it works in ISE.

@Glober777 thanks for opening this issue, we were able to re-produce this and it looks like it is occurring because it looks as if vscode.window.activeTerminal is undefined until you have clicked into the terminal.
FYI @Tyriar not sure if you guys are aware/expecting this behavior, it doesnt seem ideal considering the terminal is in view/appears active
