Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade chocolatey-core.extension -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade chocolatey-core.extension -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

  win_chocolatey:
    name: chocolatey-core.extension
    version: '1.4.0'
    source: INTERNAL REPO URL

{
    Name     = "chocolatey-core.extension"
    Version  = "1.4.0"
    Source   = "INTERNAL REPO URL"
}

Requires cChoco DSC Resource. See docs at https://github.com/chocolatey/cChoco.


package { 'chocolatey-core.extension':
  ensure   => '1.4.0',
  provider => 'chocolatey',
  source   => 'INTERNAL REPO URL',
}

Requires Puppet Chocolatey Provider module. See docs at https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/chocolatey.

Package Approved

This package was approved as a trusted package on 25 Nov 2024.

Description

This is a extension package that provides helper functions installed as a Chocolatey extension.
These functions may be used in Chocolatey install/uninstall scripts by declaring this package a dependency in your package's nuspec.
This package provides helper functions that can be used to enhance what is already available out of the box with Chocolatey CLI.
This includes both features that are being tested for Chocolatey CLI itself, and other helpers to make the maintenance of
Chocolatey packages easier.

Helpers that were available in this package, and were later added to Chocolatey CLI, will be moved to
the package chocolatey-compatibility.extension.

Backwards compatibility is not considered for helpers available in this package, see the Notes below.

Notes

  • There is a known bug in the function Get-AppInstallLocation with parameter $AppNamePattern which is internally used both as wildcard and regex patterns. This usually doesn't create any problems, but may do so if application contains regex symbols in the name, such as notepad++.
  • This package itself is not concerned with keeping backwards compatibility with Chocolatey CLI. If compatibility is of concern, instead take a dependency on chocolatey-compatibility.extension.

extensions\Get-EffectiveProxy.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Get the current proxy using several methods

.DESCRIPTION
    Function tries to find the current proxy using several methods, in the given order:
        - $env:chocolateyProxyLocation variable

extensions\Get-PackageCacheLocation.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Get temporary location for the package based on its name and version.

.DESCRIPTION
    The function returns package cache directory within $Env:TEMP. It will not create the directory
    if it doesn't exist.

    This function is useful when you have to obtain the file using `Get-ChocolateyWebFile` in order
    to perform certain installation steps that other helpers can't do.

.EXAMPLE
    Get-PackageCacheLocation

.OUTPUTS
    [String]

.LINKS
    Get-ChocolateyWebFile
#>
function Get-PackageCacheLocation {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param (
        # Name of the package, by default $Env:ChocolateyPackageName
        [string] $Name    = $Env:ChocolateyPackageName,
        # Version of the package, by default $Env:ChocolateyPackageVersion
        [string] $Version = $Env:ChocolateyPackageVersion,

    $res = Join-Path $res $Version

    $res
}
extensions\Get-WebContent.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
  Download file with choco internals

.DESCRIPTION
  This function will download a file from specified url and return it as a string.
  This command should be a replacement for ubiquitous WebClient in install scripts.

  The benefit of using this command instead of WebClient is that it correctly handles
  system or explicit proxy.

.EXAMPLE
  PS C:\> $s = Get-WebContent "http://example.com"
  PS C:\> $s -match 'Example Domain'
  True

  First command downloads html content from http://example.com and stores it in $s.
  Now you can parse and match it as a string.

.EXAMPLE
  PS C:\> $opts = @{ Headers = @{ Referer = 'http://google.com' } }
  PS C:\> $s = Get-WebContent -url "http://example.com" -options $opts

  You can set headers for http request this way.

.INPUTS
  None

.OUTPUTS
  System.String

.NOTES
  This function can only return string content.
  If you want to download a binary content, please use Get-WebFile.

.LINK
  Get-WebFile
#>
function Get-WebContent {
    [CmdletBinding()]
    param(
        # Url to download

}

function get_temp_filepath() {
    $tempDir = Get-PackageCacheLocation
    $fileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetRandomFileName()
    Join-Path $tempDir $fileName
}

extensions\Register-Application.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Register application in the system

.DESCRIPTION
    The function will register application in the system using App Paths registry key so that you
    can start it by typing its registred name in the Windows Start menu on using run dialog (Win + R).

    To make applications available in the shell, add to your profile Set-AppKeyAliases function.

.EXAMPLE
    Register-Application 'c:\windows\notepad.exe'

    Register application using name derived from its file name.

.EXAMPLE
    Register-Application 'c:\windows\notepad.exe' -Name ntp

    Register application using explicit name.

extensions\Remove-Process.ps1
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Ensure that process is stopped in reliable way

.DESCRIPTION
    Close the processes matching filters gracefully first, then forcefully.
    If no process is found, function will simply do and return nothing.

.EXAMPLE
    notepad; Remove-Process notepad -PathFilter 'system32'

    Close main window of notepad that has 'system32' word in its path

.EXAMPLE
    Remove-Process notepad -WaitFor 30
    notepad; notepad  #in another shell

    Close all instances of notepad but wait for them up to 30 seconds to start

.OUTPUTS
    Array of closeed processes with details about each one.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
