Get full svn error when running from powershell

Question

Setup: Add a new file, do an svn add, and then delete the file so you get an svn missing error:

c:\path\trunk\svn commit
C:\path\trunk>svn commit svn: E155010: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E155010: 'C:\path\trunk\New Text Document.txt' is scheduled for
addition, but is missing

However, if you run this same command from powershell you get the following instead:

PS>&svn commit
svn.exe : svn: E155010: Commit failed (details follow):
At line:1 char:1
+ &svn commit
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (svn: E155010: C...etails follow)::String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

You'll notice the powershell output never displays the referenced "details follow". Is there a way to show the full output from the command?

I get identical output in powershell and cmd prompt when following your steps. Both produce:

svn: E155010: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: E155010: 'C:\temp\trunk\test.txt' is scheduled for addition, but is missing

Powershell isn't getting an error record. This is using Tortoise SVN 1.9.7 in Powershell 5.1. That being said you may be able to get further details by looking in $error[0] and checking the Exception property.

$error[0].Exception | Select-object *

Thank you for answering - confirming that it SHOULD work that way, help me look at other options... The issue is $ErrorActionPreference. I'm currently working in ISE which seems to have it set to "Stop" by default. When I switch it to "Continue" which is the default for the non-ise shell, it diesplays as expected. Thought it still displays a bit differently than yours...displays still as I have above with the exception info, and then the additional svn info at the bottom.
