why would you need to to use choco on mac? they have homebrew and choco is trying to automate the installation of windows packages...
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
@VoomDev Chocolatey is the package manager for Windows. There is Homebrew on Mac.

@pauby can't understand the error. https://github.com/satheeshsoft/Soft-Cleaner-CY/blob/main/soft-cleaner.nuspec
https://github.com/satheeshsoft/Soft-Cleaner-CY/blob/main/chocolateyinstall.ps1
main files
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
@satheeshsoft The specific error is at these lines - it can't find the file.
Sathish
@satheeshsoft
@pauby got it, the directory name should be same name!

@satheeshsoft :+1:
Sathish
@satheeshsoft
again some doubts
the app directory should be inside chocolatey directory?
sorry i forgot can you explain how to overcome the error
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
@satheeshsoft Have you downloaded the Chocolatey Test Environment?
Sathish
@satheeshsoft
no
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
@satheeshsoft Then that would be my suggestion to allow you to troubleshoot the issue.
Sathish
@satheeshsoft
i created now but cinst not working message showing 3 attempts reached
created i think it may works fine, here checking max attempts reached
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
@satheeshsoft Are you testing this in the Chocolatey Test Environment?
Sathish
@satheeshsoft
its difficult to understand, now created the pack
test environment difficult to understand & time taking
if the test environment automated its fair (like very few user inputs & also it works for the user demand without asking to user)
just saying a suggession
uploaded new copy
@pauby thanking to you

@satheeshsoft
i used the same method in my software

Hi @pauby :) Concerning Issue chocolatey/chocolatey.org#687 about Tor Exit nodes. I just tested from about 10 various exit nodes. It's still 403 forbidden on the API no matter what.

Also tested after resolving hCaptchas on Browser (using same exit nodes) and still forbidden unfortunately.
(hCaptchas are not required on the chocolatey.org website from a Tor Browser but are required when accessing the API). So there is no issue accessing the website in itself from Tor. Just the API URL.

Hello! I work at Electronic arts, managing an internal service that caches chocolatey (among other things) and starting today we're getting HTTP response 403 when trying to reach chocolatey. I've created a support ticket for this, but a colleague suggested I'd reach out here. Anyone up for a chat about why this happened and what we can do to get unblocked?
Paul Broadwith
@pauby
Hi Martin, Gitter chat is for community support. For issues around IP blocking you did the right thing in raising a ticket which was responded to this morning.
@misse ^^

Thanks @pauby ! Has my response to the response been registered? :)

When testing package install using *.nupkg file directly (i.e. cinst install xyz-123.nupkg) what needs to be specified to take any dependencies from the gallery ?

hi new to chocolatey. hope all is well. I have a question..I recently install a software called kate (program editor app). I did not like it so i uninstalled using the choco command "choco uninstall kate". However, it did uninstall it from programs & features but I still notice some files under appdata\local & C:\programdata\chocolatey. What is the safest way to remove these kate files from my system? Also, when i right click on a file, i still notice the phrase "Edit with kate"? If i unistall the software shouldnt this be removed? Anyway how to i remove this from the system?

Hello Everyone, I'm new to chocolatey. Chocolatey is not using skip tokens for FindPackagesById if we have many versions. The issue is with only the virtual repository. It's working as expected for the Remote repository.

Scenario 1: Package(git) has 70+ versions, repository type is remote.
choco install git -y
fiddler logs:
/api/nuget/choco
/api/nuget/choco/$metadata
/api/nuget/choco/Packages()?$filter=(tolower(Id)%20eq%20'git')%20and%20IsLatestVersion
/api/nuget/choco/FindPackagesById()?id='git.install'

Scenario 2: Package(git) has 70+ versions, repository type is virtual.
choco install git -y
fiddler logs:
/api/nuget/chocolatey
/api/nuget/chocolatey/Packages(Id='git',Version='2.30.0.2')
/api/nuget/chocolatey/$metadata
/api/nuget/chocolatey/FindPackagesById()?id='git.install'
/api/nuget/chocolatey/FindPackagesById?id='git.install'&$skiptoken='git.install','2.15.0'
/api/nuget/chocolatey/FindPackagesById?id='git.install'&$skiptoken='git.install','2.5.2'
/api/nuget/chocolatey/Download/git/2.30.0.2

Hi everyone, we have packaged our application using chocolatey and it has been working fine for us. but recently we're seeing message like "ShimGen has successfully created a shim for jaccessinspector.exe".. and then it failed with the non-zone return code... but looks like the packages already installed. just wondering if anyone had such issue before?

Good Morning. I am a Noob, but learning....is there a way to use Chocolatey Gui with a Repository that uses login and not anonymous?
TheCakeIsNaOH
@TheCakeIsNaOH
@skessmanGoGGI_gitlab It is possible to use Chocolatey Gui with password-protected sources.
One option is to use the choco source add command to add the repository, using --user and --password arguments to specify the login; then Chocolatey Gui will pick up that source because it uses the same config that choco.exe uses. The other option is to go into the Chocolatey GUI settings, go over to the sources tab, and set the username and password for the repository source that needs it.

Hi I believe my site might have been blocked because I was setting up a number of machines at once. How can I remedy this?

Looks like temp ban goes away after an hour. I had no idea that was a thing, but it makes sense. Thanks.
Manuel Riezebosch
@riezebosch
For docker-desktop we're facing the problem that the program auto-updates itself which seem to break subsequent updates on the choco package. My idea is to check in the install & uninstall script for the actual installed version and skip further processing when it already matches for the install and skip when it doesn't match for the uninstall. Is this a normal thing to do?

Hello. I maintain a small package for a soft that sees several years between releases, so I have to relearn things every time. I'm trying to push a new version, and it's -I think- the first time I have to do it through choco push rather than the website. However, even after setting up my API key, I still have a 403 while pushing (the full error message is simply "forbidden"). My IP is not listed at projecthoneypot, I'm a single user who don't use Chocolatey often enough to have any sort of temporary ban. Is that a known problem for packages that have only been updated through the web site, am I out of luck ?
TheCakeIsNaOH
@TheCakeIsNaOH
@XPlantefeve I am not aware of any issue like that. Can you go to the package for the package (https://chocolatey.org/packages/<packageName>) and double-check that you are still a maintainer of the package?
Xavier Plantefève
@XPlantefeve
@TheCakeIsNaOH I am still the maintainer (says so both on the package page and on my profile). And the source I'm trying to use as a parameter for choco push hasn't changed either.
TheCakeIsNaOH
@TheCakeIsNaOH
You are using https://push.chocolatey.org/ as the push source correct?
