Question:
I’m writing a Powershell Cmdlet for which I need to pass in a PSRemotingJob
object as a parameter. The MCVE follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
function My-Cmdlet { [CmdletBinding()] Param( [Parameter(Position=0, Mandatory=$true, ValueFromPipeline=$true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName=$true)] [PSRemotingJob[]]$Job ) BEGIN {} PROCESS { ForEach ($j in $Job) { $j } } END {} } |
The issue is that when I pass a job into the cmdlet, I get an error, as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
PS C:\Temp> Invoke-Command -AsJob -CN svr001 -Command {Start-Sleep 10} | My-Cmdlet My-Cmdlet : Unable to find type [PSRemotingJob]. Make sure that the assembly that contains this type is loaded. At line:1 char:63 + Invoke-Command -AsJob -CN svr001 -Command {Start-Sleep 10} | My-Cmdlet + ~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (PSRemotingJob:TypeName) [], RuntimeException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound PS C:\Temp> |
I realize that this should be a simple matter of substituting the correct object
type or fully-qualified object, but I’ve also tried using
[System.Management.Automation.PSRemotingJob] with the same results.
I’m using Powershell 4.0.
Answer:
System.Management.Automation.PSRemotingJob is not public type and thus can not be expressed in PowerShell type syntax. But you can use its base public type instead: [System.Management.Automation.Job].
