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
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
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
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download watchexec --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade watchexec -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 watchexec -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

watchexec
Software development often involves running the same commands over and over. Boring!
watchexec
is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications.
Example use cases:
- Automatically run unit tests
- Run linters/syntax checkers
Features
- Simple invocation and use
- Runs on OS X, Linux and Windows
- Monitors current directory and all subdirectories for changes
- Uses most efficient event polling mechanism for your platform (except for BSD)
- Coalesces multiple filesystem events into one, for editors that use swap/backup files during saving
- By default, uses
.gitignore
to determine which files to ignore notifications for - Support for watching files with a specific extension
- Support for filtering/ignoring events based on glob patterns
- Launches child processes in a new process group
- Sets the following environment variables in the child process:
- If a single file changed (depending on the event type):
$WATCHEXEC_CREATED_PATH
, the path of the file that was created$WATCHEXEC_REMOVED_PATH
, the path of the file that was removed$WATCHEXEC_RENAMED_PATH
, the path of the file that was renamed$WATCHEXEC_WRITTEN_PATH
, the path of the file that was modified$WATCHEXEC_META_CHANGED_PATH
, the path of the file whose metadata changed
- If multiple files changed:
$WATCHEXEC_COMMON_PATH
, the longest common path of all of the files that triggered a change
- If a single file changed (depending on the event type):
- Optionally clears screen between executions
- Optionally restarts the command with every modification (good for servers)
- Does not require a language runtime
Anti-Features
- Not tied to any particular language or ecosystem
- Does not require a cryptic command line involving
xargs

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.
