Kustomize Build Error Catching

General Discussions

I’m trying to implement a CI pipeline to do some basic kustomize validation using PowerShell.

Essentially if I run kustomize build . and it produces an error, catch it with a try catch or simply throw an error.

It doesn’t seem that PowerShell detects it as an error or anything I can store into a variable to read off of. Has anyone attempted this before? Any ideas?

I would just use powershell as below code and see it it works.

try {
    # Run kustomize and redirect both stderr and stdout
    kustomize build . 2>&1 | Out-Null
    
    # Check the exit code
    if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) {
        throw "Kustomize build failed with exit code $LASTEXITCODE"
    }

    Write-Host "Kustomize build succeeded."
} catch {
    Write-Error "Error during kustomize build: $_"
    exit 1
}
