Powershell 脚本在 try/catch 块中捕获到异常时停止； $ErrorActionPreference

Question

问题：powershell 脚本因异常而停止，在使用 $ErrorActionPreference 时应由 try 块捕获

例子：

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
try {
    ThisCommandWillThrowAnException
} catch {
    Write-Error 'Caught an Exception'
}
# this line is not executed. 
Write-Output 'Continuing execution'  

Answer 1

解决方案：Write-Error 实际上默认抛出一个非终止异常。当设置$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' 时，Write-Error 在 catch 块中抛出一个终止异常。

使用-ErrorAction 'Continue'覆盖它

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'
try {
    ThisCommandWillThrowAnException
} catch {
    Write-Error 'Caught an Exception' -ErrorAction 'Continue'
}
# this line is now executed as expected
Write-Output 'Continuing execution'
