Previously we added a known issue with regards to using PDK within an ISE console (https://puppet.com/docs/pdk/1.x/pdk_known_issues.html#using-pdk-with-powershell-ise-locks-the-console). This enhancement modified the PDK module wrapper to detect if it was within an ISE console and give the user helpful and actionable advice on how to work around this issue instead of just "crashing".

The known issue added on 29 Jan 2019 can also be removed.

When running the PDK new module command inside a PowerShell ISE window, it throws the following error and then locks the console (never returns)

PS C:\source\tmp> pdk --version

1.6.0

PS C:\source\tmp> pdk new module

ansicon.exe : pdk (INFO): Creating new module:

At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PuppetDevelopmentKit\PuppetDevelopmentKit.psm1:14 char:5

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (pdk (INFO): Creating new module: :String) [], RemoteException
