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
Dan Friedman
@MisinformedDNA
ok thanks. I'll give it a go
Kim J. Nordmo
@AdmiringWorm
The helper you need to use in that package is called Install-VisualStudioVsixExtension
Dan Friedman
@MisinformedDNA
Worked great. Thanks!

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

AFAIK, there is no way to get a versionless url.
You would probably know of the marketplace API to be able to do that, but that is something I have never looked into
Dan Friedman
@MisinformedDNA
ok cool thx
Dan Friedman
@MisinformedDNA
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"
}

This isn't directly related to Boxstarter @MisinformedDNA - this is an issue with that particular helper.

Hi, a question for my ignorance: Why does New-BoxstarterPackage not create the nuspec in the current directory (or in -Path, if specified)? Nuspec's are generally committed to source control, right?
Manfred Wallner
@mwallner
Hi @MisinformedDNA - imo this is just the way it has been designed by Matt initially.
by moving the nuspec/package directly into the "boxstarter repository" you can easily transform an arbitrary powershell file into a package and install it right away / later on :-)

Hello All, I am trying to use the Chocolatey test runner's powershell cmdlet: Set-BoxstarterDeployOptions. As arguments to this cmdlet, i am providing the url to our internal Artifactory server using the DefaultNugetFeed parameter. I am trying to use the API key using the parameter : DefaultFeedAPIKey. However, i am running into the following issue
```Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'DefaultFeedAPIKey'. Cannot convert
value "<my API key>" to type "System.Guid". Error: "Guid
should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)."
At line:1 char:295

  • ... tFeedAPIKey AKCp8hzDDZBqPt1TBD3uRVdfTw8NpwR9A5iySWZHdtdykFyrUgfpZDHNC ...
  • ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    • CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Set-BoxstarterDeployOptions], ParameterBindingArgumentTransformationEx
      ception
    • FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Set-BoxstarterDeployOptions```

The API key is more than 32 characters in length. So is this a limitation of the Chooclatey test runner that the API key needs to be 32 characters in length?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
