function Start-MyProcess { <# .Synopsis Wraps up a call to execute a program using System.Diagnostics.Process. This allows us to redirect the stdout and stderr streams for better error handling. Specifcially this is used for quite a few MS utilities in our TFS build/deploy, as the utilities will usually throw warnings instead of terminating errors and we need to parse stdout to determine if there was an actuall error. .DESCRIPTION Wrapper for calling processes .EXAMPLE This example sets up a executable path, and options, then passes them to the function while captureing the returning stdout and stderr streams. Assume that $dacDinDir, $DestFile, $ConnectionString are all set to sueful values. $EXEPath = "$dacBinDir\SqlPackage.exe" $options = "/Action:Extract /OverwriteFiles:True /tf:$DestFile /scs:$ConnectionString" $return = Start-MyProcess -EXEPath $EXEPath -options $options if ($logLevel -eq "Debug"){ #Only show the stdout stream if we are in debugging logLevel $return.stddout } if (-not [string]::ISnullOrEmpty($return.stderr)){ Write-Log "$($return.stderr)" Warning Write-Log "There was an error of some type. See warning above for more info" Error } .OUTPUTS A object with 3 properties, stdout, stderr, and ExitCode. stdout and stderr are text streams that conatian output from the process. Generally if (stderr -eq $null) then there was some sort of error. You can also parse stdout to find errors, or check the ExitCode for non-success #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param( [Parameter(Position = 0)] [string]$EXEPath , [Parameter(Position = 1)][string]$options , [ValidateSet("Debug", "Info", "Warning", "Error", "Disable")] [string]$logLevel = "Warning" , [switch]$async , [int]$sleepTimer = 5 , [string]$workingDir , $stderrDelegate , $stdoutDelegate ) Get-CallerPreference -Cmdlet $PSCmdlet -SessionState $ExecutionContext.SessionState $currentLogLevel = Get-LogLevel if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($logLevel)) { $logLevel = "Warning" } Set-LogLevel $logLevel if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($EXEPath)){ Write-Log "EXEPath not set" Error -ErrorAction Stop } if(-not (Test-Path $EXEPath)){ Write-Log "EXEPath not a valid path" Error -ErrorAction Stop } $EXE = $EXEPath.Substring($EXEPath.LastIndexOf("\") + 1,$EXEPath.Length - $EXEPath.LastIndexOf("\") - 1) $pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo if ($IsWindows) { $pinfo.FileName = "`"$EXEPath`"" } else { $pinfo.FileName = "$EXEPath" } $pinfo.Arguments = "$options" $pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false $pinfo.CreateNoWindow = $true if ([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($workingDir)) { $pinfo.WorkingDirectory = Get-Location } else { $pinfo.WorkingDirectory = $workingDir } $pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true $pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $true # Create a process object using the startup info $process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process $process.StartInfo = $pinfo if ($async) { # Register Object Events for stdin\stdout streams if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($stdoutDelegate)) { Write-Output (Register-ObjectEvent -Action $stdoutDelegate -InputObject $Process -EventName OutputDataReceived -SourceIdentifier "$(Split-Path $EXEPath -Leaf)|stdout|$(New-Guid)|") } if (![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($stdoutDelegate)) { Write-Output (Register-ObjectEvent -Action $stderrDelegate -InputObject $Process -EventName ErrorDataReceived -SourceIdentifier "$(Split-Path $EXEPath -Leaf)|stderr|$(New-Guid)|") } } Write-Log "Executing the following command" Debug Write-Log " $($pinfo.Arguments)" Debug try { $process.Start() | Out-Null } catch { Write-Log "****Process errors****" Warning Write-Log "$($_.Exception.ToString())" Warning Write-Log "Error calling $EXE.
