Re: Chocolatey - package version

Hi Bob,

      I get the following error: Mixed old and new package promise
      attributes inside one package promise

As the error indicates you are trying to mix attributes that are
mutually exclusive.

There are both the [`package_method' based implementation] and
[`package_module' based implementation] of packages promises.

Mostly you are using the `package_method' implementation in your
example. But, `version' is a `package_module' attribute.

What if you try using `package_version' and `package_select'?

,----
| bundle agent __main__
| {
|
|   packages:
|     have_choco_exe::
|       "python3"
|         package_policy => "add",
|         package_method => choco,
|         package_select => "==",
|         package_version => "3.11.0";
|
| }
| body package_method choco
| {
|         package_changes => "individual";
|         package_list_command => "C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\bin\choco.exe list --localonly";
|         package_list_version_regex => ".*\s+ (.*)";
|         package_list_name_regex => "^(.*)\s+.*";
|         package_installed_regex => ".*";
|         package_add_command => "C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey\bin\choco.exe install -y";
| }

      I don't see a way to tell choco.exe to use the "latest"
      version of a package when I am installing other packages
      (notepad++, for example). Any suggestions?

The `package_method' implementation doesn't have a "latest" version
notion, instead it has "update" and "addupdate" options for
`package_policy' and `package_select' supports things like `<', `>',
`==', `!=', `>=', and `<=' You might also need some binary that can help
you understand the versioning scheme. You can use
`pacakge_version_less_command' and `package_version_equal_command' for
that.
