copied!<p>The trying to prevent the (apparently default) Inquire mode in WriteDebug and this does not work (See earlier post). As I do not yet know how to detect if -DEBUG is set on the command line I am trying this:</p> <pre><code>(<Cmdlet(VerbsDiagnostic.Test, "MyCmdlet", SupportsShouldProcess:=False)> _ Protected Overrides Sub BeginProcessing() setting = SessionState.PSVariable dbPref = setting.Get("DebugPreference").Value vbPref = setting.Get("VerbosePreference").Value WriteObject("VBpref: " & vbPref.ToString) WriteObject("DBpref: " & dbPref.ToString) setting.Set("VerbosePreference", ActionPreference.Continue) setting.Set("DebugPreference", ActionPreference.Continue) dbPref = setting.Get("DebugPreference").Value vbPref = setting.Get("VerbosePreference").Value WriteObject("VBpref: " & vbPref.ToString) WriteObject("DBpref: " & dbPref.ToString) WriteDebug("TEST") </code></pre> <p>The ouput is as follows:</p> <pre><code>PS> Test-MyCmdlet -d VBpref: SilentlyContinue DBpref: SilentlyContinue VBpref: Continue DBpref: Continue DEBUG: TEST Confirm Continue with this operation? [Y] Yes [A] Yes to All [H] Halt Command [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): </code></pre> <p>And this is the output without the -D switch (no Inquire):</p> <pre><code>PS> Test-MyCmdlet VBpref: SilentlyContinue DBpref: SilentlyContinue VBpref: Continue DBpref: Continue DEBUG: TEST </code></pre> <p>So why, if the reset above has worked, am I still in Inquire mode? And how can I change it?</p>
