<# .SYNOPSIS This is a test function for invoking a script block in a background job inside Invoke-SpectreCommandWithProgress to help with https://github.com/ShaunLawrie/PwshSpectreConsole/issues/7 Some commands cause output that interferes with the progress bar, this function is an attempt to suppress that output when all other attempts have failed. .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 Invoke-SpectreCommandWithProgress { param ( $Context ) $task1 = $Context.AddTask("Starting a process that generates noise") $task1.Increment(50) $value = Invoke-SpectreScriptBlockQuietly -Level Quiet -Command { Write-Output "Things..." Write-Output "And stuff..." Write-Error "This is an error" Start-Sleep -Seconds 3 git checkout nonexistentbranch Write-Output "But it shouldn't break progress bar rendering" } $task1.Increment(50) Write-SpectreHost ($value | Get-SpectreEscapedText) } #> 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-ThreadJob $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 2>&1) } "Quieter" { return } default { throw "Invalid value for Level parameter" } } } finally { $job | Stop-Job -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue $job | Remove-Job -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue } } |
