How does Chocolatey know which packages are installed locally?
choco list -lo only lists the latest versions of the packages you have installed. Old choco invoked nuget.exe, new choco (0.9.9+) does it directly since it has nuget.core built-in. It does a list against %ChocolateyInstall%\lib when you call list -lo. If several versions of the same package exist, only the...
Should I ever include a reboot command in my BoxStarter script?
powershell,restart,reboot,chocolatey,boxstarter
Personally, I would never do this, no. I rely on Boxstarter looking after this for me, as internally it is doing the same check, so doing it in addition in my script is duplication of effort. There are times when, as you mention, you know that a reboot is required...
How to avoid code duplication in nuspec?
That's not really code duplication. You have multiple packages where you are doing the same thing, but each package is its own different thing.
How can I alter a Chocolatey package's $url for install
powershell,proxy,http-proxy,chocolatey
This isn't a complete answer and I'm not sure how safe this answer is (in terms of surviving updates to Chocolatey itself), but it's resolved my immediate issue with the android-sdk package. Unfortunately, any package that implements its own download code bypasses this "fix". I noticed the line in the...
Add Custom Argument Completer for Cmdlet?
You may want to look at the TabExpansion++ module, which was designed to make extending tab completion easier. I just played with it for few minutes, and I think you want something like this based on the example: Import-Module TabExpansion++ function PaketAddNugetCompletion { [ArgumentCompleter(Parameter = 'Nuget', Command = 'Paket-Add')] param($commandName,...
Can't run iex in Windows command prompt or git bash
Neither Erlang nor Elixir are automatically added to your path by Chocolatey. So make sure you add both Erlang's and Elixir's bin directory to your path. Since you mention that you're not really used to Windows, try running this at the command prompt before you try to execute iex.bat: SET...
How do I specify a port in a Chocolatey package install script?
shell,powershell,port,chocolatey
Right now the 0.9.9 series doesn't seem to play well with proxies - follow https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/243 to learn about when and what version it is fixed in. Thanks! You can also stick with 0.9.8.33 until the fixes are in - we even have a way for you to install the older...
How to list installed Chocolatey packages using Ruby?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can use capture3 instead of popen3 to capture the output. command = "clist -lo" require 'open3' stdout, stderr, status = Open3.capture3(command) puts "stdout: #{stdout}" puts "stderr: #{stderr}" puts "status: #{status}" results in stdout: 7zip.install 9.22.01.20130618 autohotkey_l 1.1.13.01 autohotkey_l.install...

Is there a way to get Chocolatey to show the progress of a download?
In the Powershell version of Chocolatey, i.e. version <= 0.9.8.33 there was a progress bar indicating the progress of the download. However, in the current C# version of Chocolatey (at the time of this comment 0.9.9.6) there is no equivalent for this. There is an issue to track this feature,...
Why is chocolatey trying to insll to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
It is possible to look "inside" every Chocolatey package using the Nuget Package Explorer in order to see "what is going on". If you do this for the PowerTab package, you will see the following: $name = 'powertab' $url = 'http://powertab.codeplex.com/downloads/get/159925' $target = Join-Path $PSHOME 'Modules' Install-ChocolateyZipPackage $name $url $target...
Chocolatey, npm and grunt-cli installation problems
windows,node.js,npm,chocolatey,grunt-cli
NPM might be tool old from that package. It's my understanding they are no longer offering a separate NPM away from NodeJS (I could be incorrect here, I'd love to be wrong). I'd prefer using the nodejs.install package (which comes with npm). To answer your question: the location with a...

F# FAKE will not execute powershell script file
powershell,f#,chocolatey,f#-fake
Your powershell script has some issues, and would not work even if run from the command line. In particular, cd .\somedir | iex .\SomeScript.ps1 is nonsensical - you are piping the result of a cd (which is $null, since cd doesn't return anything) to Invoke-Expression, which is basically saying "run...

Boo to the Chocolatey Gods

So installing Git and Posh-Git hasn't been too pleasant, how I fixed the error was by reinstalling Chocolatey, then doing the following: @Powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin I know it is a tedious command, but I reinstalled with the above then did the following...

Where is the Chocolatey installation path?
There is an environment variable set on installation, ChocolateyInstall which is set to C:\Chocolatey by default in versions of Chocolatey less then 0.9.8.27. After that, this defaults to C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey. In version 0.9.9 of Chocolatey, it actively moves from the old folder location to the new one. You can also pre-emptively...
