Steps to reproduce
N.B. The repro code is indented. THIS IS CRUCIAL TO THE REPRO. Include the indent when copying and pasting into your console window.
$CopyErrors = New-Object 'System.Collections.ArrayList'
function CopyFiles( $srcRoot, $destRoot, $plat )
{
Write-Host "Copying binaries from $($srcRoot)..." -Fore Green
$fullSrc = 'C:\Windows\system32\ntdll.dll'
$fullDst = 'C:\does\not\exist'
Copy-Item $fullSrc $fullDst -ErrorVariable +CopyErrors
}
CopyFiles
$CopyErrors
$error.Count
$error
$error.CountExpected behavior
You should see 1 error, from outputting $CopyErrors, then $error.Count should output "1", then $error should show that same error again, then $error.Count should still be "1".
Actual behavior
During the formatting of $CopyErrors, things go sideways, and the errors don't appear in the console, but carnage starts accumulating in $error. Here are the printable errors:
MethodInvocationException:
Line |
122 | … $line = $line.Insert($offsetInLine
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| Exception calling "Insert" with "2" argument(s): "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. (Parameter 'startIndex')"
