Clarification of -WhatIf tag needed #18

Closed ccharland closed 1 year ago

ccharland commented 5 years ago

page where error shows up: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/powershell/latest/userguide/pstools-discovery-aliases.html

The phrase: "AWS cmdlets do not support the -WhatIf switch." should be clarified: -New-EC2Tag Respects the -whatif when running cmdlet, or when called in a procedure with [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] Remove-EC2Tag Respects -whatif fromcmdlet but not when called from a procedure with [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess=$true)] "myrenamescript" does a new-ec2tag , remove-ec2tag -tag -force

So I called myrenamescript.ps1 -newtag $tag -whatif New tag poped up with the proper whatif message and not created Old tag was deleted. ran script again myrenamescript.ps1 -newtag $tag New tag was created, old tag was deleted from Powershell pompt (not in script) remove-ec2tag -tag -whatif tag was NOT removed. got proper warning message
