Catching FULL exception message

Question

Consider:

Invoke-WebRequest $sumoApiURL -Headers @{\"Content-Type\"= \"application/json\"} -Credential $cred -WebSession $webRequestSession -Method post -Bod         


        

Answer 1

The following worked well for me

try {
    asdf
} catch {
    $string_err = $_ | Out-String
}

write-host $string_err

The result of this is the following as a string instead of an ErrorRecord object

asdf : The term 'asdf' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
