Do you have any examples of stderr errors being impossible to catch in PS, and/or a basic script that is very easy in Bash but cumbersome in PowerShell?

- lukeschlather 7y agoRecently I was trying to automate something with gsutil (Google's storage CLI) using Powershell remoting to a Windows host. gsutil is a totally well-behaved posix app, which emits status information to stderr. The bug is specifically that when using remoting (Windows equivalent of ssh) the error is uncatchable. [Remoting Bug] https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3996 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3996 [RFC for improved error handling] https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/pull/88 https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-RFC/pull/88 Ultimately I just want Powershell to handle well-behaved posix apps in a sane way, but honestly the reaction of some of the people on the thread seems like there's a huge cultural gap between Microsoft and the Posix community. (Which, Microsoft claims to be a part of but clearly is not.)
