November 2017 – Rock, Paper, Sitecore

By default, Sitecore 9 ships with the customErrors mode set to RemoteOnly. I’m not complaining. But if you’re using SIF to configure a QA server, you may want to change that. In a push to have infrastructure as code, the module below actually does this for you. Here’s the modlue:

Set-StrictMode -Version 2.0

Function Invoke-SetCustomErrorsModeTask {
    [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)]
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [string]$SiteFolder,
        [ValidateSet('On', 'Off', 'RemoteOnly', IgnoreCase = $false)]
        [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
        [string]$ErrorMode
    )

    Write-TaskInfo "Locating web.config in folder $SiteFolder" -Tag 'UpdateMode'

    #Get the path of the web.config
    $WebConfigPath = Join-Path $SiteFolder "web.config"
	
    $WebConfigXML = New-Object XML

    $WebConfigXML.Load($WebConfigPath)
	
    $CustomErrorsNode = $WebConfigXML.SelectSingleNode("/configuration/system.web/customErrors")
	
	$CustomErrorsNode.SetAttribute("mode", $ErrorMode)
	
	$WebConfigXML.Save($WebConfigPath)	
}
Register-SitecoreInstallExtension -Command Invoke-SetCustomErrorsModeTask -As SetCustomErrorsMode -Type Task

Set-StrictMode -Version 2.0

Function Invoke-SetCustomErrorsModeTask {

[CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)]

param(

[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]

[string]$SiteFolder,

[ValidateSet('On', 'Off', 'RemoteOnly', IgnoreCase = $false)]

[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]

[string]$ErrorMode

)

Write-TaskInfo "Locating web.config in folder $SiteFolder" -Tag 'UpdateMode'

#Get the path of the web.config

$WebConfigPath = Join-Path $SiteFolder "web.config"

$WebConfigXML = New-Object XML

$WebConfigXML.Load($WebConfigPath)

$CustomErrorsNode = $WebConfigXML.SelectSingleNode("/configuration/system.web/customErrors")

$CustomErrorsNode.SetAttribute("mode", $ErrorMode)

$WebConfigXML.Save($WebConfigPath)

}

Nothing really fancy here. …
