Better Workaround for AppFabric Cache’s Tracing Hatred

As a follow up from my last post, here’s a simple extension method to forcibly restore the default trace listener every time you invoke an AppFabric Caching Administration Management cmdlet. It’s not the prettiest code, but it’s functional:


public static class PowershellExtensions
{
public static Collection<PSObject> InvokeCommandAndRestoreDefaultTraceListener(this Pipeline pipeline)
{
bool hasDefaultTraceListener = PowershellExtensions.IsDefaultTraceListenerPresent();
Collection<PSObject> results = pipeline.Invoke();
if(hasDefaultTraceListener && !PowershellExtensions.IsDefaultTraceListenerPresent())
{
Trace.Listeners.Add(new DefaultTraceListener());
}
return results;
}
private static bool IsDefaultTraceListenerPresent()
{
foreach(TraceListener listener in Trace.Listeners)
{
if(listener is DefaultTraceListener)
{
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
