This repository is a collection of chocolatey tools to be used with git. It's purpose is to demonstrate how to lint/validate choco packages in a pipeline and use git and chocolatey together in harmony.
chocopackages.Tests.ps1 - a set of pester tests to validatate packages. Simply place in root of choco repo, and run pester in pipeline
Invoke-Analyzer.ps1 - validate/lint powershell
build.ps1 can take a properly tagged git repository and create nupkg files in a directory. This could be very useful for rebuilding a chocolatey.org, nugetgallery, myget or other similar repository and maintain every package version. Tagging method is mentioned below.
If you maintain your own chocolatey feed, and you use AU this might be of interest. You can specify a set number of packages you want to maintain online. After all binaries can grow to be huge! This requires a properly tagged repo.
Usage:
function global:au_AfterUpdate ($Package) {
$ROVArgs = @{
maximumversions = 2
packagename = 'office365-x64'
matcher = '^\s*url\s*= ''https://chocopackages.3rdpoint.corp/office365-x64/(.*)'''
}
Remove-ObsoleteVersion @ROVArgs
}
I tag all choco packages created in a chocopackages repository using the format packagename-packageversion using this command:
git tag -a $tag -m 'tag'.
Ex: git tag -a mypkg-1.0.0 -m 'mypkg-1.0.0'
This allows for some additional awesomeness if you use AU as mentioned above
