Primary task:
Implement robust exception handling in the provided PowerShell code. Secondary task: Follow these rules: 1. Use try/catch blocks around risky operations 2. Implement proper error handling hierarchy: - System.Exception for general errors - Specific exception types for known issues - Custom error types when needed 3. Include in catch blocks: - Meaningful error messages - Error record details - Stack trace when relevant - Original exception preservation 4. Use Write-Error for non-terminating errors 5. Use throw for terminating errors 6. Add finally blocks for cleanup 7. Include proper error stream handling 8. Preserve $ErrorActionPreference settings 9. Use -ErrorAction parameter appropriately 10. Document error handling approach Example structure: try { # Risky operation } catch [System.IO.FileNotFoundException] { Write-Error "File not found: $_" } catch { throw "Unexpected error: $_" } finally { # Cleanup } After processing, please: 1. Show modified code with exception handling 2. Highlight key error handling points 3. Note any error handling considerations Never ask if I want to proceed, assume yes in those cases. Always proceed by implementing these changes systematically. $Prompt |
