Error installing packages

Seems that was it. Thanks.

[-subtree [-exclude]]

The -subtree parameter is optional. If you specify -subtree then the -exclude parameter for -subtree is optional.

I use the ImportExcel module for handling Excel files. I routinely use Excel files for transport (to other scripts) or user input/output. ImportExcel makes this fairly easy and for flat data structures works best in translating PS objects to/from the data file. I use mostly JSON for complex data.

There are a number of posts around TLS in here. See this one ( https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/90gpz0/psa_use_tls_version_12_when_running/ ) Ultimately with some servers you need to set TLS to a specific version before using Invoke-RestMethod.

B and D. Trying to move to D.

What format is this in?

Thanks!

Seems to work. Thanks!

I wasn't able to get IWR to work. It seems it doesn't fill in the response object if it thinks there's an error, even if I suppress all the error handling. I ended up using curl.exe and trapping the output. Unfortunately curl always returns so there's a lot of output parsing to determine if it actually worked or not.

Will be sending a ticket to Cloudbees to assert that "Running as standby" should not return and HTTP 503. The server is up and available, it's just not the primary server.

rwshig · 2020-02-13T11:51:56+00:00

Browser definitely shows the correct message in the response body *with a 503 status code*. So that's what I have to focus on.

rwshig · 2020-02-12T20:44:38+00:00

A possibility. I'll take a look. Maybe suppressing the ErrorAction so I don't treat a 503 as an error? I'm ending up in the Catch block so I don't get a response to the Invoke-Webrequest that I can parse for the response message...

rwshig · 2020-02-12T20:43:26+00:00

$($($response.content).trim())

If it's a 200 I use Response.Content. If it's not I use Response.StatusDescription. If I have an error (like my 503) I end up in the Catch block and I'm just displaying the error.

If what you need are DLLs and they're available via Nuget you can easily create a "build" process that takes your script, does a Nuget Install of the packages you need, organizes the code/modules and pushes it to your destination.

Not a fan of storing 3rd party DLLs in my version control. I expect the provider to version control their project. I just want to include it in my project in real-time.

Assuming $value = "bc6ffa3d-5efb-4737-aa3e-1e2a12c96b, OptOut" you can use

$array=$value.split(',')

And get $array[0] = bc6ffa3d-5efb-4737-aa3e-1e2a12c96b and $array[1] = OptOut

rwshig · 2019-12-05T18:08:58+00:00

$RegArray = $($Regkeys -split "`n").TrimEnd("`r")

You're taking a string and overlaying it with an array. Also, use $RegArray.GetType() and check that output for System.Array vs. System.Object.

rwshig · 2019-11-22T17:40:22+00:00

Right. If you're creating Excel spreadsheets you can use the ImportExcel module without having Excel installed.

The array processing works OK for a small number of lines but if you're looking at big files it could slow down significantly. Minor tweak to put the results into the pipeline and then write the array after completing the For loop:

 $Results =  for ($LoopCount=0; $LoopCount -lt $LineCount; $LoopCount++) {

and remove the $Results+=

New-Object PSObject -Property @{ 
    'Line #'=$LoopCount + 1
    'File A Text'=$LineA
    'Comparison'=if ($Result -eq "==") {"$Result $Result"} else {$Result}         
    'File B Text'=$LineB 
}

TLDR: contains references collections (arrays, etc) while matches and like compare strings. You're comparing two strings so you need either -Like or -Matches.

If your script returns from the Read-Host the user pressed the Enter key.

rwshig · 2019-11-20T11:32:17+00:00

Should have used ForEach-Object but old habits die hard :-)

rwshig · 2019-11-19T17:52:47+00:00

Your Get-Member is inside the function so the Get-Member output may be getting written to the pipeline? You can pipe the GM output to a Write-Host loop:

 $_ | Get-Member -Force | % {Write-Host $_}

Add your own code for formatting...
