<# .SYNOPSIS Invoke a process .DESCRIPTION Invoke a process and pass the needed parameters to it .PARAMETER Path Path to the program / executable that you want to start .PARAMETER Params Array of string parameters that you want to pass to the executable .PARAMETER ShowOriginalProgress Instruct the cmdlet to show the standard output in the console Default is $false which will silence the standard output .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Invoke-Process -Path "C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\xppc.exe" -Params "-metadata=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-modelmodule=`"ApplicationSuite`"", "-output=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-referencefolder=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-log=`"C:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite\Dynamics.AX.$Module.xppc.log`"", "-xmlLog=`"C:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite\Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.xppc.xml`"", "-verbose" This will invoke the "C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\xppc.exe" executable. All parameters will be passed to it. The standard output will be redirected to a local variable. The error output will be redirected to a local variable. The standard output will be written to the verbose stream before exiting. If an error should occur, both the standard output and error output will be written to the console / host. .EXAMPLE PS C:\> Invoke-Process -ShowOriginalProgress -Path "C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\xppc.exe" -Params "-metadata=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-modelmodule=`"ApplicationSuite`"", "-output=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-referencefolder=`"C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin`"", "-log=`"C:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite\Dynamics.AX.$Module.xppc.log`"", "-xmlLog=`"C:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite\Dynamics.AX.ApplicationSuite.xppc.xml`"", "-verbose" This will invoke the "C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\Bin\xppc.exe" executable. All parameters will be passed to it. The standard output will be outputted directly to the console / host. The error output will be outputted directly to the console / host. .NOTES Author: Mötz Jensen (@Splaxi) #> function Invoke-Process { [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType()] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 1)] [Alias('Executable')] [string] $Path, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 2)] [string[]] $Params, [Parameter(Mandatory = $False, Position = 3 )] [switch] $ShowOriginalProgress ) Invoke-TimeSignal -Start if (-not (Test-PathExists -Path $Path -Type Leaf)) {return} if (Test-PSFFunctionInterrupt) { return } $tool = Split-Path -Path $Path -Leaf $pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo $pinfo.FileName = "$Path" if (-not $ShowOriginalProgress) { Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose "Output and Error streams will be redirected (silence mode)" $pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $true $pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true } $pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false $pinfo.Arguments = "$($Params -join " ")" $p = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process $p.StartInfo = $pinfo Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose "Starting the $tool" -Target "$($params -join " ")" $p.Start() | Out-Null if (-not $ShowOriginalProgress) { $stdout = $p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd() $stderr = $p.StandardError.ReadToEnd() } Write-PSFMessage -Level Verbose "Waiting for the $tool to complete" $p.WaitForExit() if ($p.ExitCode -ne 0 -and (-not $ShowOriginalProgress)) { Write-PSFMessage -Level Host "Exit code from $tool indicated an error happened.
