Install-ChocolateyPackage and other functions should alias File/File64 #1284
Comments
NOTE: While this is now available, it will not be recommended for wider use (in the community package repository) for six months as it will cause errors in earlier versions of Chocolatey. |
@ferventcoder while it's not recommended, is it allowed? |

When passing File and FileType to Install-ChocolateyPackage, it can cause the following issue to occur: ~~~ ERROR: Cannot bind parameter because parameter 'fileType' is specified more than once. To provide multiple values to parameters that can accept multiple values, use the array syntax. For example, "-parameter value1,value2,value3". ~~~ This is well documented at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Troubleshooting#error-cannot-bind-parameter-because-parameter-filetype-is-specified-more-than-once : ~~~powershell $toolsPath = $(Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition) $packageArgs = @{ packageName = 'test' fileType = 'MSI' file = "$toolsPath\somefile.msi" softwareName = 'test' silentArgs = '/qn /norestart' validExitCodes= @(0) } Install-ChocolateyPackage @packageArgs was meant to be used in this scenario ~~~ `Install-ChocolateyPackage` doesn't have both a `File` parameter and a `FileType` parameter. PowerShell has a "feature" where it does partial matching of parameters. When you splat the parameters in, it tries to apply both `File` and `FileType` to `FileType` and throws the above error. Correct this behavior by setting aliases

With `Install-ChocolateyVsixPackage` and `Install-Chocolatey-ZipPackage`, ensure that file / filefullpath are aliases for urls (and the 64bit variants).

This is well documented at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/wiki/Troubleshooting#error-cannot-bind-parameter-because-parameter-filetype-is-specified-more-than-once :
Install-ChocolateyPackage
doesn't have both aFile
parameter and aFileType
parameter. PowerShell has a "feature" where it does partial matching of parameters. When you splat the parameters in, it tries to apply bothFile
andFileType
toFileType
and throws the above error. We've already researched and there is no way to shut it off in PowerShell itself.Not For Use With Community Packages Until January 2018
NOTE: Some features come out, but are not immediately available for use with the community package repository - this is one of them. While this is now available, it will not be recommended for wider use in the community package repository for six months as it will cause errors in earlier versions of Chocolatey.
