The

Yes, exactly that
A good PR would be to clarify that in the docs :smile:
Hey @gep13 . Quick question about commits. If we are modifying multiple files for different reasons, do we have to stage multiple commits or can it all be grouped into one. For example, I have modified three files in the boxstarter repo: 2 are related to an issue that I opened, and one being the modification to Contributing.md to make instructions more clear. Do I need to create a commit for the issue resolution and the Contributing.md modification, or can it all be one commit?
If the issue is related to chocolatey/boxstarter#443 can you please make sure you correct the issue itself first as requested in the comments? Thanks.
New version 2.13 of Boxstarter has been released and includes a fix for user permissions on the default Boxstarter folder. You can install / upgrade via Chocolatey or via the Boxstarter website.

Any idea why the
$PROFILE properties are all empty? They are not empty outside of Boxstarter.Profile: C:\Users\Dan\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

@pauby If I don't have a $Profile script,
refreshenv runs successfully, but doesn't update $env:path. But if I then run Import-Module $env:ChocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyProfile.psm1; refreshenv, then it does. Is it expected that refreshenv doesn't do a complete refresh? Also, is there a reason why Boxstarter doesn't automatically import chocolateyProfile.psm1?
@MisinformedDNA Boxstarter controls the PowerShell script you're using so anything you do has to be with that in mind. If you are simply calling
Invoke-Reboot in the script without any tests around about it, you will get a reboot every time Boxstarter gets to that line in your script. Have a look at the function help.
I'm trying to run
Install-ChocolateyVsixPackage in my Boxstarter package, but it always fails with "ERROR: Visual Studio is not installed or the specified version is not present". Debugging through the code, I believe it is looking for a registry entry with a property named "InstallDir", but it doesn't exist.
NOTE: VS was installed in a previous package with
choco upgrade visualstudio2019enterprise
@MisinformedDNA the
Install-ChocolateyVsixPackage helper unfortunately only works for older version of Visual Studio (I think it was for VS2015 and below). You need to use a helper function in the package chocolatey-visualstudio.extension instead
Do you know if there is a way to get versionless URLs? This is what I'm seeing: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/publishers/MadsKristensen/vsextensions/AddNewFile/3.5.150/vspackage
I couldn't find a Marketplace API, so I just threw this together:
function Install-VisualStudioVsixExtensionFromVSMarketplace($itemName) {
$packageUrl = Get-VisualStudioMarketplaceDownloadUrl($itemName)
Install-VisualStudioVsixExtension -Name $itemName -Url $packageUrl
}
function Get-VisualStudioMarketplaceDownloadUrl($itemName) {
$marketplaceUrl = "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/"
$itemUrl = "$($marketplaceUrl)items?itemName=$itemName"
$response = Invoke-WebRequest $itemUrl -UseBasicParsing
$href = ($response.Links | Where-Object { $_.class -eq "install-button-container" }).href
return "$marketplaceUrl$href"
}
