Hello,
So I am attempting to use chocolatey as a provider for puppet on my windows
machine and I am at the stage now where I am manually running manifests to
see if I am getting all the syntax correct.
I am running into a strange issue though. I have a package I created called
'rwin'. I can install it perfectly using the cinst command:
cinst rwin -source z:\software\rwin
However, when I try to install via puppet manifest
package { 'rwin':
ensure => latest,
provider => 'chocolatey',
source => 'Z:\Software\rwin',
}
it appears to do nothing at all. I don't get any error messages, it merely
says
Notice: compiled catalog etc...
Notice: /Stage[main]//Package[rwin]/ensure: created
Notice: finished catalog etc...
And the package does not install, it does not appear under puppet resource
package.
Obviously this is my own package, so it is unlikely that anyone can
replicate the issue, but can anyone tell me how I can see what chocolatey
is doing, or what puppet is doing? The stuff spit out by --debug --verbose
and --trace is not helpful, since everything is identical to a package that
*does* work, only nothing happens. This leads me to believe it is a
chocolatey issue, especially since packages installed with the 'windows'
provider appear to work perfectly. Unfortunately I can see that something
is happening in powershell, but there is no output from the point that
puppet calls chocolatey until it returns.
I'm going to try and download a chocolatey package that I can install from
the web and see if I can install it with an alternate source as soon as I
get back to my desk and will post the results of that.
Thanks for your help!
Jason Bray
