Provide Search for Local Installed Packages

[lmayorga1980]

Is it possible to run ...

*clist installed Package Name, Version *

If this package if found then it should return and exit code 0 and if not any other exit code.

[rismoney]

its called cver. We had talked about consolidating cver and clist.

usage cver all -lo will show all local installed packages.

the exit codes are in a pending PR.

examples:

C:\Users> cver 7zip

name : 7zip
found : 9.22.0
latestCompare : 000000000009.000000000022.000000000000
verMessage : Latest version installed
latest : 9.22.0
foundCompare : 000000000009.000000000022.000000000000

C:\Users> cver 7zip -lo

name found

---

7zip 9.22.0

Thanks! Now I can verify if a package is already installed on the machine.

C:\Chocolatey\bin\cver.bat 7zip -lo | findstr "no version"

The %errorlevel% variable will be 0 if it can't find the package and this is what i am looking for my puppet recipe.

Thanks again.

Is there not already a chocolatey puppet module? I have it on my todo list to have a look at it, as I am just getting into puppet, but I had assumed that this would already be taken care of there.

there is a chocolatey module https://github.com/chocolatey/puppet-chocolatey

but to get full exit codes natively we need the PR to be accepted, or you can build from my source.

Wouldn't zero indicate no issue? Or in this case pkg exists locally?

Ah, I see. I am still working with straight up package, file, and services in my puppet manifests just now, but I will be looking to extend into using Chocolatey as well. Look forward to giving it a try.

[lmayorga1980]

Right. If it returns 0 then it will install the package. If not it will not do anything.

https://github.com/chocolatey/puppet-chocolatey does not work properly when you set specific versions.

[rismoney]

The current release of chocolatey isn't complete for puppet as it requires the mods in my outstanding PRs...

when you say does not work properly, what are you experiencing? I just want to confirm you aren't experiencing a different issue.

[lmayorga1980]

When I add a specific version to install it still downloads the latest version rather than the one on the "ensure" attribute.

[rismoney]

that does sound like the exit code issue on the cver query.

technically, what I think is happening in this case- it is not doing a ensure latest. The cver query is failing to determine a package is installed, so it is atempting to cinst package.
I think that is why I wrote this -

Its part of the #210
