.SYNOPSIS Output the tasks result to a file .DESCRIPTION Persists the tasks output into a file, either the raw content or the object Sets the $Script:FilePath = $Path, to ensure the next tasks can pick up the file and continue its work .PARAMETER Path Path to where the tasks wants the ouput to be persisted .PARAMETER Content Raw string that should be written to the desired path .PARAMETER InputObject The object that should be written to the desired path Will be converted to a json string, usign the ConvertTo-Json Important note: If you need the InputObject to be written with a specific structure, the object has to be of the expected type before being passed into the cmdlet A simple cast can ensure this to work as intended .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Out-TaskFile -Path "C:\temp\work_directory\1_Export-LogicApp.AzCli" -InputObject $([ArmTemplate]$armObj) Outputs the armObj variable to the path: "C:\temp\work_directory\1_Export-LogicApp.AzCli" The armObj is casted to the [ArmTemplate] type, to ensure it is persisted as the expected json structure .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Out-TaskFile -Path "C:\temp\work_directory\1_Export-LogicApp.AzCli" -Content '{"Test":"Test"}' Outputs the content string: '{"Test":"Test"}' to the path: "C:\temp\work_directory\1_Export-LogicApp.AzCli" .NOTES Author: Mötz Jensen (@Splaxi) #> function Out-TaskFile { [CmdletBinding(DefaultParameterSetName = "InputObject")] param ( [string] $Path = $(Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName PsLogicAppExtractor.Execution.TaskOutputFile), [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ParameterSetName = "Content")] [string] $Content, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, ParameterSetName = "InputObject")] [object] $InputObject ) if ($InputObject) { $Content = $InputObject | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 20 } $encoding = New-Object System.Text.UTF8Encoding($false) [System.IO.File]::WriteAllLines($Path, $Content, $encoding) if ($(Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName PsLogicAppExtractor.Execution.TaskInputNext)) { $taskPath = Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName PsLogicAppExtractor.Execution.TaskPath Copy-Item -Path $(Get-PSFConfigValue -FullName PsLogicAppExtractor.Execution.TaskInputNext) -Destination "$taskPath\Input.json" } Set-PSFConfig -FullName PsLogicAppExtractor.Execution.TaskInputNext -Value $Path } |
