Start-GSDriveFileUpload throws Exception setting "CursorVisible": "The handle is invalid on ps jobs

[DCurtin]

Describe the bug Exception thrown Exception setting "CursorVisible": "The handle is invalid. when running Start-GSDriveFileUpload in a ps job To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: $newJob = Start-Job -ScriptBlock {Start-GSDriveFileUpload -Path $args[0] -Parents @('some-parent-id') -Verbose} -ArgumentList @('filepath');

Expected behavior CursorVisble exception to not be thrown? The file seems to upload successfully regardless. So it's not terribly important, just annoying

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 1809
• PowerShell Version: Windows PowerShell 5.1
• PSGSuite Version: 2.33

Additional context When running get-host on a job this is returned

It's setting [System.Console]::CursorVisible = $true when $host.name Is not PS ISE maybe ServerRemoteHost needs to be added to the filter?

hey @DCurtin - Thanks for opening this up! I think to catch all scenarios, I can wrap the call to [System.Console]::CursorVisible in a try/catch block with the catch just being empty (and possibly removing that error from the $global:Error array as well)

It seems to catch as expected here:

Start-Job {
    try {
        [System.Console]::CursorVisible = $true
    }
    catch {
        "Couldn't be set"
    }
} | Wait-Job | Receive-Job

Thoughts?

Also worth noting that Start-GSDriveFileUpload will kick off background jobs by default if you don't include the -Wait parameter, IIRC.

hey @DCurtin - Fix added and deployed in PSGSuite v2.33.2, you should no longer see that pesky error! Let me know if all is well =]

[DCurtin]

awesome, I noticed that about it kicking off background jobs. I likely don't need to wrap it in a job but wanted a way to manage sets in a more custom way.

Really appreciate this project.

All's well, thank you for the update.

Yup! It starts them as async requests in background threads. You can check on the status at any time with Get-GSDriveFileUploadStatus as well, in case you want visibility at the forefront. Using a PS Job may obscure that a bit since you don't really have the ability to invoke a new command in the existing Job afaik, so you're leaving it up to chance at that point IMO. With a shaky internet connection, it may be a bit risky, even with the built-in failure retry mechanism
