(#2603) Export pin status

Open TheCakeIsNaOH opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

Description Of Changes

This adds the ability for the export command to include pins in the exported file. They will be exported if --include-arguments is specified, but can be excluded with --exclude-pins.

Motivation and Context

See #2603

Testing

  1. Run .\choco.exe install iperf2 wget --allow-unofficial
  2. Run .\choco.exe pin add -n iperf2 --allow-unofficial
  3. Run .\choco.exe export --include-arguments --allow-unofficial
  4. Check that the exported packages.config includes <package id="iperf2" pinPackage="true" />
  5. Run .\choco.exe export --include-argument --exclude-pins --allow-unofficial
  6. Check that the export packages.config does not include pinPackage for iperf2

Is there any news on this? It is essential.. An export command that exports something that cannot be used to recreate the exact environment, is not very useful.. One could simply do:

  • ( choco list | select -skip 1 | select -skiplast 1 | % { ($_ -split ' ')[0] } ) -join ' ' >choco.list: to get a space-separated list of packages
  • choco install $(cat choco.list): to reinstall all packages with a single choco call

So choco export is incomplete without install arguments and pins and anything else needed to replicate an environment
