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 pathlengthchecker -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.4.0'" [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 pathlengthchecker -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.4.0'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

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

Exit $exitCode

Description

Path Length Checker is a stand-alone app that allows you to specify a root directory, and it gives you back a list of all paths (i.e. files and directories) in that root directory and their lengths. It includes features such as pattern matching and min/max length constraints, as well as the ability to specify a string that should replace the root directory in the results brought back, allowing you to quickly see path lengths if you were to move the files/folders to another location.

Example


tools\chocolateyinstall.ps1
$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'

$toolsDir = "$(Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition)"

$ZipFile   = (Get-ChildItem $toolsDir -filter "*.zip").FullName
$Destination = Join-Path $env:ChocolateyPackageFolder "v$env:ChocolateyPackageVersion"

Get-ChocolateyUnzip -FileFullPath $ZipFile -Destination $Destination

$targetPath = Get-ChildItem $Destination -filter "*GUI.exe" -Recurse
$null = New-Item "$($targetPath.FullName).gui" -Type file -Force

$Linkname = $targetPath.BaseName + '.lnk'
$StartPrograms = Join-Path $env:ProgramData '\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs'
$shortcutFilePath = Join-Path $StartPrograms $Linkname

Install-ChocolateyShortcut -shortcutFilePath $shortcutFilePath -targetPath $targetPath.FullName
tools\chocolateyuninstall.ps1
$StartPath = Join-Path $env:ProgramData "Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"

$Link = Get-ChildItem $StartPath -filter "$env:ChocolateyPackageName*"

if(Test-Path $Link.FullName) {
   Remove-Item $Link.FullName -Force
}

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.
