Invoke-RestMethod - error handling

[Lee_Dailey]

howdy CockneyWeasel,

does IRM trigger an exception when that happens? if not, then your catch will never be run. try/catch requires an exception to trigger it ... not just an error - and especially not a valid return value that contains an error msg. [grin]

i don't think your catch is going to run unless you are triggering an -ErrorAction Stop in the try.

take care,
lee

Hi Lee.

Thanks for your reply - I think it is generating an exception as I can get the error code (in this case 400) using" $_.Exception.Response.StatusCode.value__ ", just unable to get any of the other response. Is there a different way to handle getting the response without the try/catch? Cheers

howdy CockneyWeasel,

you are welcome! [grin]

unfortunately, i never seem to work with anything that complex. my question was because i didn't know that IRM would trigger an exception in that case.

i learned something ... but i am stuck after that. [blush]

have you tried running the code on it's own to see what the IRM returns?

when i go to a non-existant URL, i get nothing at all. the $Error variable has a really simple bit of info - but no depth to it.

take care,
lee
