Can I get detailed exception stacktrace in PowerShell?

Question

Runing such script:

 1: function foo()  2: {  3:    bar  4: }  5:   6: function bar()  7: {  8:     throw "test"  9: } 10:  11: foo 

I see

test At C:\test.ps1:8 char:10 

Can I get a detailed stack trace instead?

At bar() in C:\test.ps1:8 At foo() in C:\test.ps1:3  At C:\test.ps1:11

There is a function up on the PowerShell Team blog called Resolve-Error which will get you all kinds of details

Note that $error is an array of all the errors you have encountered in your PSSession. This function will give you details on the last error you encountered.

function Resolve-Error ($ErrorRecord=$Error[0]) {    $ErrorRecord | Format-List * -Force    $ErrorRecord.InvocationInfo |Format-List *    $Exception = $ErrorRecord.Exception    for ($i = 0; $Exception; $i++, ($Exception = $Exception.InnerException))    {   "$i" * 80        $Exception |Format-List * -Force    } }
