<# .SYNOPSIS A testing function for invoking a script block in a background job inside Invoke-SpectreCommandWithProgress to help with https://github.com/ShaunLawrie/PwshSpectreConsole/issues/7 :::caution This is experimental. ::: .DESCRIPTION This function invokes a script block in a background job and returns the output. It also provides an option to suppress the output even more if there is garbage being printed to stderr if using Level = Quieter. .EXAMPLE # This example invokes the git command in a background job and suppresses the output completely even though it would have written to stderr and thrown an error. Invoke-SpectreScriptBlockQuietly -Level Quieter -Command { git checkout nonexistentbranch if($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { throw "Failed to checkout nonexistentbranch" } } #> function Invoke-SpectreScriptBlockQuietly { [Reflection.AssemblyMetadata("title", "Invoke-SpectreScriptBlockQuietly")] param ( # The script block to be invoked. [scriptblock] $Command, # Suppresses the output by varying amounts. [ValidateSet("Quiet", "Quieter")] [string] $Level = "Quiet" ) try { $job = Start-Job $Command $job | Wait-Job | Out-Null if($job.State -eq "Failed") { $job | Receive-Job throw "Failed to execute script block" } switch($Level) { "Quiet" { return ($job | Receive-Job) } "Quieter" { return } default { throw "Invalid value for Level parameter" } } } finally { $job | Stop-Job -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $job | Remove-Job -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } } |
