Powershell ISE throws RemoteException when working to GitLabRunner

Time:11-12

I am trying to stop GitlabRunner windows service using powershell. When I execute the command in elevated powershell prompt, I see the following expected response enter image description here

Now if I run the same command in powershell ISE as Administrator It shows RemoteException error.

Note that the service is actually getting sopped even if the response shows error.
I get the same kind of error response with girlab-runner's other commands like register or start. Commands are working but shows error in response and only happens in ISE.

CodePudding user response:

The implication is that your gitlab-runner.exe call sends its output to stderr, not stdout.

Unfortunately, the ISE inappropriately renders stderr output from external programs as PowerShell errors, which is what you saw;
a simple way to provoke the symptom is to run cmd /c 'echo to stderr >&2'

The workaround is:

.\gitlab-runner.exe 2>&1 | % ToString  # % is short for ForEach-Object

However, you can avoid the need for workarounds by migrating away from the obsolescent ISE:
