Source option not working as expected

[simondel]

I'm having some issues with the Source option in the cChocoPackageInstaller. We have a private Chocolatey repository which we use for some packages. I'm working a package right now which has the same name as a public package, my config is like this:

cChocoSource Privaterepo
{
    Name = 'privaterepo'
    Source = 'https://our.private.repo.net/nuget'
}

cChocoPackageInstaller HipChat
{
    Name = 'hipchat'
    Source = 'privaterepo'
    DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]InstallChocolatey", "[cChocoSource]Privaterepo"
}

During testing our private hipchat package had a lower version (0.0.6) than the public package (2.2.1164) and when applying the DCS configuration, the public package was installed instead of our private package.

I would expect that our private package would be installed here since the command

choco install hipchat --source=privaterepo

does install our private version.

When specifying a source, Chocolatey should only look at that source.

@simondel I think the provider here may not be passing through quite correctly.

I'm guessing the following may work as a workaround for now:

cChocoPackageInstaller HipChat
{
    Name = 'hipchat'
    Source = 'https://our.private.repo.net/nuget'
    DependsOn = "[cChocoInstaller]InstallChocolatey", "[cChocoSource]Privaterepo"
}

If not, it's likely a bug in this provider.

Thanks for the quick response! I initially used your suggestion and then moved to a cChocoSource resource when that didn't work (and because I was specifying the url more than once in my DSC config).
So I think this is a bug, unfortunately.

This looks like the culprit:

https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/cChoco/blob/b44cd3bfa0c5b423f344847015b37b903d6ab165/DSCResources/cChocoPackageInstall/cChocoPackageInstall.psm1#L79-L92

Yup. the issue is that instead of running the install passing through the -source command to chocolatey it is just adding the source to chocolatey.

Indeed, the code mentioned above is incorrect. If #50 get's merged I'll continue work on this, seems like a rather easy thing to fix.

Is there a timeline for getting this resolved, its still broken?
Thanks

[ferventcoder]

This is still not yet resolved, however I'm going to set it up for being fixed in 2.4.0.

Let us know when you have a fix for this, we're experiencing the same issue when trying to install packages from various sources, internal and external. Working around it by adding the sources to the config using cChocoSource but would be nice if this worked as expected

[travis-sobeck]

As an aside, I found that as long as my package was not named exactly the same as a public one, it works fine.

[ferventcoder]

This looks to be fixed with #84.

[ferventcoder]

This is now fixed and will go into the next release of cChoco
