How to capture the exception raised in the scriptblock of start-job?

Question

I have the following script,

$createZip = {
    Param ([String]$source, [String]$zipfile)
    Process { 
        echo \"zip: $source`n     --> $zipfile\"
         


        

Answer 1

TLDR:

# Works with both terminating and non terminating errors
$j = start-job {1/0} | wait-job; try { rcjb $j -ErrorAction Stop } catch { "err $_" }
