Chocolatey package not updating
alex-ds13 opened this issue · 13 comments
Sorry to bother about this, but the AltSnap chocolatey package didn't update to the latest 1.63 version. From all I've searched on this repo and the chocolatey package repo, you usually state that you update the chocolatey package on the same day or after a couple of days. It has been almost a month since 1.63 was released, I've only now noticed that there was a new version from winget.
Was the chocolatey package dismissed in favor of winget? Or is it still going to be updated?
Yes indeed, sorry for that but the choco package no longer passes the automated validation and I do not understand the error, I have no time to investigate deeply so I abandoned temporary.
You can check here for more details:
https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/altsnap/1.63
I do not know why it fails, it installs fine on both Win11 and Win7 installs I have. I would need to install their test environement on an emulator etc. but it is already complicated for me.

Weird the error is that it didn't find the package. Have you looked into this: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/troubleshooting#package-not-installed.the-package-was-not-found-with-the-sources-listed
Maybe you didn't compile the package with choco pack, like mentioned there? I see that the sources are being set explicitly to:
Source(s): 'c:\cached-packages;https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/'
I assume you were supposed to put the compiled package on c:\cached-packages could it have been on some other place instead?
Also looking at this here seems that it didn't even try to look on c:\cached-packages:

Don't get me wrong, you probably already looked into this extensively, but for me looking at that error "feels" like some of those simple mistakes that when you find it you just want to slap your forehead 😄. Also I don't have any experience with publishing packages to chocolatey so I probably have no idea what I'm talking about (I'm just hoping to serve as somewhat of a rubber duck to help you debugging 🦆 )
here is the compiled nupkg file that I uploaded.
(this is actually also a zip file you can you can open with 7-zip or similar software).
my protocol is always the same. If you encounter any problems with he above, you can report, I will be happy to find the reason.
I am not familiar with advanced scripting languages either.
my protocol:
Update version number in altsnap.nuspec
Update URL and SHA256 in tools\chocolateyInstall.ps1
for both x64 and i386 builds
choco pack
Test:
choco install altsnap -s.
choco uninstall altsnap -s.
choco push altsnap.1.XX.nupkg --source https://push.chocolatey.org/
It used to work.
I assume the .txt extension was just for inserting it on github?! I've managed to upgrade to 1.63 just fine with that nupkg (after removing the .txt extension).
Funny thing is that while it had the .txt extension the error was exactly altsnap was not found with the source(s) listed. which is the same error that is showing on the chocolatey validation system.
But the package itself is fine. It upgraded properly. So its either a problem on the chocolatey validation system or with the way or what you are pushing. Have you tried contacting someone from chocolatey?

Indeed github does not like random file extensions.

I tried re-validation, but it failed the same way. I did not try to contact someone yet. My motivation to maintain the package is decreasing if it becomes an evolving process. I guess I could take the WinGet package on hand it maybe more logical than choco, now that it is by default on Win11, but I digress.
Also when the package is just uploaded to choco and not yet validated you can still force the update with the --version parameter. Wwhen I did that it was working fine on two different computers so I was assuming everything it was correct.

Yeah. I sometimes do that too when I notice there is a new version that chocolatey still doesn't show me on outdated.
I noticed now that there is one difference between the 1.62 and 1.63 verification test which is that 1.62 used Windows Server 2019 while 1.63 used Windows server 2012 (however version 1.61 also used Windows Server 2012 and passed without a problem).

altsnap v1.63 - Failed - Package Test Results

Tested against win2012r2x64 (Windows Server 2012 R2 x64)
Tested with the latest version of choco, possibly a beta version.
Tested with chocolatey-package-verifier service v1.0.1
Install failed. Note that the process may have hung, indicating a not completely silent install. This is usually seen when the last entry in the log is calling the install. This can also happen when a window pops up and needs to be closed to continue.
The weird part is that version 1.63 goes on just like version 1.62 did until a point where it errors while on version 1.62 it kept going.

Can you try to run the push command again with--debug --verbose --noop like mentioned here to see if it gives more information?
Also I noticed now that both your tries were on the same day. Maybe there was something weird with chocolatey's backend that day and if you try again it might just work.
One last thing, since all the sources I've looked through use it this way could you try specifying the source like this?
choco push altsnap.1.XX.nupkg --source="'https://push.chocolatey.org/'"
Notice the --source="'<PUSH URL>'" with both quote types. It might not do anything but it doesn't hurt to try!
I will try again with 1.64 when it will be ready (hopefully soon).
