I have a script i know is failing, i can see it in the log however no matter what i seem to do i can’t get it to cause the deployment to fail which is bad, if something goes wrong with the process you need to know about it.
i read this blog post and it seems like its an ongoing battle
My solution so far is to wrap my script in a Try Catch block, this at least catches any exceptions thrown by the script. In addition i need to read the standard error of a console app it executes and report back to powershell but i haven’t got that far yet.
My try catch looks like this
try
{
#stuff to execute console app
}
catch
{
“Failed to run script”
[Environment]::ExitCode = 1
$LastExitCode = 1
Exit 1
}
i can see that the catch is working because it echo’s “Failed to run script” but I’ve tried 3 different methods to try and return an error code but the deployment still passes. How do i manually fail the deployment from a powershell script?
