Steps to reproduce
Considering that Throw is designed for generate Terminating errors and -ErrorAction and $ErrorActionPreference for Non-Terminating errors, why the following code does not terminate at 5?
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
1..10 |
ForEach-Object {
$_
if($_ -eq 5) {
throw "abc"
}
}
$ErrorActionPreference = "Continue"function Throw-Example
{
[CmdletBinding()]
param()
"Line before the terminating error"
Throw "This is my custom terminating error"
"Line after the throw"
}
Throw-Example -ErrorAction SilentlyContinueExpected behavior
Throw terminates the execution regardless of -ErrorAction or $ErrorActionPreference, like it does with the default Continue value.Actual behavior
Throw does not terminates the execution like a non-terminating error when -ErrorAction or $ErrorActionPreference value is SilentlyContinue.Error details
