Make the temp directory configurable #554
Conversation
Enable users to specify an alternate temp directory in the chocolatey configuration.
If <tempDir> is not present, then $env:TEMP is used as a default.
This enables companies with IT policies that prevent executing files
in the %TEMP% directory to continue to use Chocolatey.
Sample Configuration File with value specified:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<chocolatey>
<tempDir>%USERPROFILE%\Temp</tempDir>
<useNuGetForSources>false</useNuGetForSources>
<checksumFiles>true</checksumFiles>
<virusCheck>false</virusCheck>
<sources>
<source id="chocolatey" value="https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/" />
</sources>
</chocolatey>

I'm not sure this would be available yet?

Yeah you are correct, I'll remove.

After moving Get-TempDir into src/helper/functions I have run into the dependency issue you warned me of. Once in the helpers directory, Get-TempDir is unable to use src/functions/Get-ConfigValue. I don't understand the difference between src/functions and src/helper/functions. How would you recommend that I proceed? |

@carolynvs apologies, somehow this fell of my radar.

@carolynvs I went with a bit of an easier fix for now. It helps with when package maintainers are also not using our defined functions and using |
