Out-MessageException.ps1
function Out-MessageException { <# .SYNOPSIS Writes an error record to a log target. .DESCRIPTION Writes an error record to a log target. This Cmdlet writes a complete ErrorRecord to a log target including the actual ErrorRecord, the exception and a stack trace. If the exception contains inner exceptions they will be written to the log target as well. Normally this Cmdlet will not be called directly but only inside a `trap` or `catch` block. The Cmdlet sets `$fReturn` to `$true` and returns `$null` if the exception message of the ErrorRecord equals `$gotoSuccess`. No message is logged in this case. Otherwise the Cmdlet sets `$fReturn` to `$false`, sets `$OutputParameter` to `$null` and returns `$null`. If the exception message of the ErrorRecord equals `$gotoError` a terminating error is also generated. .OUTPUTS This Cmdlet does not return a value. .EXAMPLE This example calls a method with a try/catch block. Upon exception a custom error record is created and written to the log via `Out-MessageException`. function Funcy($InputObject) { # main function code goes here ... try { $result = Some-ArbitraryHelperCmdlet; } catch { $er = New-CustomErrorRecord -msg "arbitrary-message" -cat NotSpecified -o "arbitrary-object"; Out-MessageException $er; } #
