Parsing not working correctly for Powershell

Question

I have written the following logic to check status of service:

$status=@()

if($var1 -match "True") {
Write-Output "Service Enabled"
} else {
$status+="Service not Enabled"
Write-Output "Service not Enabled"
}

if($status.count -le 1){
    $returnStatus = "PASS"    
}else{
    $o=$status -join ", "
    $returnStatus = "FAIL- $o"
}

$getstatus = $returnStatus 

When, I set $var1 = false the output should be Service not Enabled but it is not correct.

It seems that the issue is with $status always having a count of 1even when it is PASS Please suggest if there is a better logic to do the same logic.

Answer 1

You have a typo in the variable name $returnsStatus / $returnStatus

Which causing final output $getstatus inconsistent.

Please fix variable name and try again.

Proposed Solution

$status=@()

if($var1 -match "True") {
    Write-Output "Service Enabled"
} else {
    $status+="Service not Enabled"
    # Fixed Message
    Write-Output "Service not Enabled"
}

# Fix comparison from -le to -lt
if($status.count -lt 1){
    $returnStatus = "PASS"    
}else{
    $o=$status -join ", "
    $returnStatus = "FAIL- $o"
}

$getstatus = $returnStatus
