I'm trying to find a way to get all parameter information from a powershell script. Ex script:
function test()
{
Param(
[string]$foo,
[string]$bar,
[string]$baz = "baz"
)
foreach ($key in $MyInvocation.BoundParameters.keys)
{
write-host "Parameter: $($key) -> $($MyInvocation.BoundParameters[$key])"
}
}
test -foo "foo!"
I'd like to get the values of $bar
and $baz
in a dynamic way without knowing the names of the parameters ahead of time.
I've looked through $MyInvocation
properties and methods but I don't see anything besides parameters that are set/passed.
Update 1:
I'm close to getting it with:
function test()
{
Param(
[string]$foo,
[string]$bar,
[string]$baz = "baz"
)
foreach($var in (get-variable -scope private))
{
write-host "$($var.name) -> $($var.value)"
}
}
test -foo "foo!"
If i could filter out the script parameters vs the default parameters I would be good to go.
Update 2: The final working solution looks like this:
function test {
param (
[string] $Bar = 'test'
, [string] $Baz
, [string] $Asdf
)
$ParameterList = (Get-Command -Name $MyInvocation.InvocationName).Parameters;
foreach ($key in $ParameterList.keys)
{
$var = Get-Variable -Name $key -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
if($var)
{
write-host "$($var.name) > $($var.value)"
}
}
}
test -asdf blah;
Check this solution out. This uses the CmdletBinding()
attribute, which provides some additional metadata through the use of the $PSCmdlet
built-in variable. You can:
$PSCmdlet
Get-Command
Get-Variable
cmdletCode:
function test {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[string] $Bar = 'test'
, [string] $Baz
, [string] $Asdf
)
# Get the command name
$CommandName = $PSCmdlet.MyInvocation.InvocationName;
# Get the list of parameters for the command
$ParameterList = (Get-Command -Name $CommandName).Parameters;
# Grab each parameter value, using Get-Variable
foreach ($Parameter in $ParameterList) {
Get-Variable -Name $Parameter.Values.Name -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue;
#Get-Variable -Name $ParameterList;
}
}
test -asdf blah;
The output from the command looks like this:
Name Value
---- -----
Bar test
Baz
Asdf blah
