function Invoke-Process { <#PSScriptInfo .VERSION 1.4 .GUID b787dc5d-8d11-45e9-aeef-5cf3a1f690de .AUTHOR Adam Bertram .COMPANYNAME Adam the Automator, LLC .TAGS Processes #> <# .DESCRIPTION Invoke-Process is a simple wrapper function that aims to "PowerShellyify" launching typical external processes. There are lots of ways to invoke processes in PowerShell with Start-Process, Invoke-Expression, & and others but none account well for the various streams and exit codes that an external process returns. Also, it's hard to write good tests when launching external processes. This function ensures any errors are sent to the error stream, standard output is sent via the Output stream and any time the process returns an exit code other than 0, treat it as an error. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.String] $FilePath, [Parameter()] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [System.String] $ArgumentList ) $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" try { $stdOutTempFile = "$env:TEMP\$((New-Guid).Guid)" $stdErrTempFile = "$env:TEMP\$((New-Guid).Guid)" $startProcessParams = @{ FilePath = $FilePath ArgumentList = $ArgumentList RedirectStandardError = $stdErrTempFile RedirectStandardOutput = $stdOutTempFile Wait = $true PassThru = $true NoNewWindow = $true } if ($PSCmdlet.ShouldProcess("Process [$($FilePath)]", "Run with args: [$($ArgumentList)]")) { $cmd = Start-Process @startProcessParams $cmdOutput = Get-Content -Path $stdOutTempFile -Raw $cmdError = Get-Content -Path $stdErrTempFile -Raw if ($cmd.ExitCode -ne 0) { if ($cmdError) { throw $cmdError.Trim() } if ($cmdOutput) { throw $cmdOutput.Trim() } } else { if ([System.String]::IsNullOrEmpty($cmdOutput) -eq $false) { Write-Output -InputObject $cmdOutput } } } } catch { $PSCmdlet.ThrowTerminatingError($_) } finally { Remove-Item -Path $stdOutTempFile, $stdErrTempFile -Force -ErrorAction "Ignore" } } |
