Don't write DNS resolution errors on Test-Connection -Quiet by vexx32 · Pull Request #12204 · PowerShell/PowerShell

vexx32 · 2020-03-25T20:20:42Z

PR Summary

We don't need to write a DNS resolution error if the user uses -Quiet; it's the same as a False result in that case and can be treated the same.

Also, currently we're not able to respond to StopProcessing() between pings due to the Dns.GetHostEntry() method blocking. Fix is to implement a GetHostEntryWithCancel() method that factors in a cancellation token.

PR Context

Resolves #12147
Resolves #11160

PR Checklist

+ Add GetHostEntryWithCancel method and _cancel member. + Add cancellation for DNS lookups.

+        It 'does not emit errors for an unresolvable address when using -Quiet' {
+            Test-Connection -Quiet -TargetName "fakeHost" -Count 1 | Should -BeFalse
+        }


The test name is seem not right.

I'll give it another pass, I missed a couple things here, it seems.

_dnsLookupCancel is never null

+                catch (PipelineStoppedException p)
+                {
+                    throw p;


You should use throw; here.

Maybe a conditional catch is better?

catch (Exception ex) when ((ex as PipelineStoppedException) == null) { .... }

Didn't know that was a thing. Is there a significant difference?

Which one you are asking about?

for the throw, it will keep the original stack trace; while throw p will rewrite the stack trace.
for the conditional catch block, it's slightly efficient because it avoids looking for a handler for the PipelineStoppedException. Although the efficiency doesn't matter here, it looks more concise :)

Poked at this one for a bit and changed my mind a couple times, but it looks like the conditional catch block is about the same as just doing a general catch with an if statement when it comes down to it. Separate catch block seems a little tidier.

I'm fine keeping the catch (PipelineStoppedException p) block, as long as you change throw p to throw;.
The main benefit of conditional exception is to avoid unnecessary search of exception handlers, and of course, avoid running a handler.

            return true;
        }

+        private IPHostEntry GetHostEntryWithCancel(string targetNameOrAddress)


Maybe name the method similarly to SendCancellablePing? GetCancellableHostEntry? 😄
Also, a minor thing, I recommend to pass in the cancellation token as parameter.

No worries, I'll sort it out. 🙂

I think that should address all your comments @daxian-dbw. 🙂

Let me know if I misunderstood anything; I'm still pretty new to fiddling with cancellation tokens and whatnot. ^^

vexx32 · 2020-03-27T01:44:33Z

🤔 realizing that returning false from this method is still gonna be a bit janky. Need to handle it and actually write false values back in the other methods too... Hm. That's okay, shouldn't be too tricky to manage.

EDIT: I think that ought to sort it out. Let me know if you have any concerns with how I'm handling it. 😊

+ Since we're not emitting errors for these cases, we need to make sure that we give the users an appropriate -Quiet response. + In most cases, this is just false. -MtuSize is a special case that typically outputs integers, so write -1 to indicate failure to connect there.

From Codacy:

Suggested change

private CancellationTokenSource _dnsLookupCancel = new CancellationTokenSource();

private readonly CancellationTokenSource _dnsLookupCancel = new CancellationTokenSource();

Huh, I thought I... ah, I must have taken it out again at some point. Thanks!
