PowerShell Try/Catch and Retry

Question

I have a fairly large powershell scripts with many (20+) functions which perform various actions.

Right now all of the code doesn\'t really have any error handling

Answer 1

Solution with passing a delegate into a function instead of script block:

function Retry([Action]$action)
{
    $attempts=3    
    $sleepInSeconds=5
    do
    {
        try
        {
            $action.Invoke();
            break;
        }
        catch [Exception]
        {
            Write-Host $_.Exception.Message
        }            
        $attempts--
        if ($attempts -gt 0) { sleep $sleepInSeconds }
    } while ($attempts -gt 0)    
}

function MyFunction($inputArg)
{
    Throw $inputArg
}

#Example of a call:
Retry({MyFunction "Oh no! It happend again!"})
