Attempted to write progress on an uninitialized ProgressRecord

[benclaussen1]

Describe the bug

While updating our deprecated DNS sensors, I was going to remove the old ones when I received this error:

PS C:\> $DNSSensors | ogv -pass | Remove-Object -Force
Remove-Object : Attempted to write progress on an uninitialized ProgressRecord. If this is a Release build, please
report this bug along with the cmdlet chain you tried to execute. To disable PrtgAPI Cmdlet Progress in the meantime
use Disable-PrtgProgress.
At line:1 char:27
+ $DNSSensors | ogv -pass | Remove-Object -Force
+                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Remove-Object], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.InvalidOperationException,PrtgAPI.PowerShell.Cmdlets.RemoveObject

After running Disable-PrtgProgress my pipeline executed successfully.

Steps to reproduce

# This is specific to my actions which led to this error:

# Get a list of sensors
$DNSSensors = Get-Sensor -Filter (New-SearchFilter -Property Type -Operator Contains  -Value 'dns')

$DNSSensors | ogv -pass | Remove-Object -Force

What is the output of 'Get-PrtgClient -Diagnostic'?

Hi @benclaussen1,

Please be advised a new pre-release version of PrtgAPI has now been released which should include a fix for this issue. Please see the manual installation instructions for details on how to run this pre-release version.

This issue specifically only occurs when executing a pipeline in the form Variable -> Third Party Cmdlet PrtgAPI doesn't have special handling for (e.g. Out-GridView) -> PrtgAPI Cmdlet, so depending on how you use PowerShell this issue may or may not have a big impact in day to day usage of PrtgAPI

Regards,
lordmilko

Awesome! Thanks for the prompt fix! I’m out of town until next week but will install when I return. Out-GridView isn’t an everyday thing for me and PRTG. I submitted the issue since the error requested so ☺️ Have a good day! Ben Sent from a mobile device...
