Silently fails to create a data source if the -RsFolder does not exist.

Passing in an invalid -RsFolder causes the problem.

Raise an error.

Which versions of Powershell and which OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of our scripts?

I am seeing the following exception when I specify a value to -RsFolder that does not exist.

Exception occurred while creating data source! Exception calling "CreateDataSource" with "5" argument(s): "System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The item '/nonexistent'
cannot be found. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemNotFoundException: The item '/nonexistent' cannot be found.

I will try reproducing with a full example. Can you send me your repro example? I am wondering if when I was troubleshooting the problem, I was connected to the wrong server. Is it possible fixing another bug recently made this problem go away? This was on 0.0.2.9

[parthsha]

I created a data source and then re-ran the same command. I got the error above. I am not sure if anything else would have fixed this bug or not.

Closing issue as I am not able to repro this issue and haven't heard back on it continuing to occur.
