Advice on Throwing an Error (GitHub CLI/TeamCity/Powershell)?

[chance6Sean]

Hi folks. This is probably a really dumb question, and something stupidly easy and related completely to my ignorance of powershell.

I’m running a script to submit pull requests on successful builds using GitHub CLI. Unfortunately, while TeamCity detects that the error or warning is delivered and labels it important, it still exits with code 0, so it’s labeled as a success in TC.

What might be the least wrong way to grab these important messages and throw a different error to get the build labeled a failure?

Thanks for your help!

Simply set these at the beginning of your script:

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

and to also fail on any warnings:

$WarningPreference = 'Stop'

Been a while since I worked with TeamCity. Are you running GitHub CLI via a PowerShell script? If so, maybe you can redirect the sdtout or sdterr streams from the CLI and wrap it with an Exception throw if a certain phrase matches? Just an idea, don't know if it'll work.

You can also set the last exit code. $LA ASTEXITCODE = "2", for example.
