.SYNOPSIS Logs the details of an exception to the specified stream. .PARAMETER Exception The exception whose details should be logged. .PARAMETER Stream The stream that the exception details should be logged to. #> Function Write-Exception { Param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True)] $Exception, [Parameter(Mandatory = $False)] [ValidateSet('Debug', 'Error', 'Verbose', 'Warning')] $Stream = 'Warning' ) $LogCommand = (Get-Command -Name "Write-$Stream") $ExceptionString = Convert-ExceptionToString -Exception $Exception & $LogCommand -Message "Exception information`r`n------`r`n$ExceptionString" -ErrorAction Continue -WarningAction Continue } <# .SYNOPSIS Returns a PSObject representing a custom exception. .PARAMETER Type The "type" of the exception. This isn't actually the type. It's a string you can use to figure out what the type would be if PowerShell actually supported custom exceptions. .PARAMETER Message A message describing the failure. .PARAMETER Property A hashtable containing other properties to propogate with the exception.

The exception of interest may not always be nested at the same depth (i.e. you may need to do $Exception.InnerException or $Exception.InnerException. InnerException to get what you want). This cmdlet attempts to remove the crud by filtering out select exception types. .PARAMETER RootException The exception that was thrown by an invoked script block. #> Function Select-RelevantException { Param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True)] $RootException ) $InnerException = $RootException.Exception $BlacklistedExceptions = [System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord], [System.Management.Automation.MethodInvocationException], [System.Management.Automation.CmdletInvocationException] While(($InnerException.GetType() -in $BlacklistedExceptions) -and $InnerException.InnerException) { $InnerException = $InnerException.InnerException } Return $InnerException } <# .SYNOPSIS Throws a custom exception. .PARAMETER Type The "type" of the exception. This isn't actually the type. It's a string you can use to figure out what the type would be if PowerShell actually supported custom exceptions. Damnit, PowerShell. Use a switch block or similar in your catch statement to work with this. .PARAMETER Message A message describing the failure. .EXAMPLE try { Throw-Exception -Type 'GenericFailure' -Message 'Failing, just because' } catch { switch -CaseSensitive ((Get-ExceptionInfo -Exception $_).Type) { 'GenericFailure' { Write-Warning -Message 'Look, a generic failure' } 'SomeOtherFailure' { Write-Warning -Message 'Look, a failure we will never see' } default { Write-Warning -Message 'I am handling ALL the failures!' } } } #> Function New-ThrownException { param( [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, ParameterSetName = 'Values')] [String] $Type, [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, ParameterSetName = 'Values')] [String] $Message, [Parameter(Mandatory = $False, ParameterSetName = 'Values')] [Hashtable] $Property = @{}, [Parameter(Mandatory = $True, ParameterSetName = 'ExceptionInfo')] [Object] $ExceptionInfo ) if($ExceptionInfo) { throw New-Exception -ExceptionInfo $ExceptionInfo } else { throw New-Exception -Type $Type -Message $Message -Property $Property } } Set-Alias -Name Throw-Exception -Value New-ThrownException Export-ModuleMember -Function * -Alias * -Verbose:$False |
