sp_BlitzWho - shows procedure definition not the current statement in query_text if proc is executing for the first time

[Adedba]

Version of the script
SELECT @Version = '8.11', @VersionDate = '20221013';

What is the current behavior?
If you have a stored procedure executing for the first time (not in the plan cache) the query_text column will not show you the current statement being executed, it will show you the stored procedure definition instead.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

Clear your cache (DBCC FREEPROCCACHE)

create a stored procedure:

USE [StackOverflow];
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE usp_GetTopVotesByYearAndMonth
AS 
BEGIN 
	
	SELECT /* Query 1 of 2 */ TOP (10) 
		DATENAME(YEAR,[CreationDate]) AS VoteYear,
		COUNT(CreationDate) AS TotalVotes
	FROM [dbo].[Votes] v
	INNER JOIN [dbo].[VoteTypes] vt ON v.[VoteTypeId] = vt.[Id]
	GROUP BY 
		DATENAME(YEAR,[CreationDate])
	ORDER BY 
		[TotalVotes] DESC;	
	
	SELECT /* Query 2 of 2 */ TOP (10) 
		DATENAME(MONTH,[CreationDate]) AS VoteMonth,
		COUNT(CreationDate) AS TotalVotes
	FROM [dbo].[Votes] v
	INNER JOIN [dbo].[VoteTypes] vt ON v.[VoteTypeId] = vt.[Id]
	GROUP BY 
		DATENAME(MONTH,[CreationDate])
	ORDER BY 
		[TotalVotes] DESC;		
END 
go

Query window 1: Execute stored procedure:
EXEC usp_GetTopVotesByYearAndMonth;

Query window 2: Execute sp_BlitzWho:
EXEC sp_BlitzWho
Observer the query_text column, this will contain the stored procedure definition.

Now execute your stored procedure again and the execute sp_BlitzWho whilst running and you will notice that this time the statement being executed will now show in the query_text column.

What is the expected behavior?
For the current statement in a stored procedure to show in the query_text column

Which versions of SQL Server and which OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of our procedures?
Tested on SQL 2016

Howdy sir! Did you want to code a change for this? If not, let me know and I'll close it - the current implementation is alright for my purposes.

[Adedba]

Hi Brent, yep I have a changed lined up for this one just forgot to create a pull request. Doh! Incoming...

[BrentOzar]

@Adedba I haven't heard back from you, so I'll go ahead and close this for now, but if you decide you want to work on it, you can leave a comment here when you're ready to do a pull request, and I can reopen it.
