Chocolatey 0.9.10 and exit codes - Chocolatey Package Provider is now reporting successful package installs as failures

[ferventcoder]

I mentioned this before in April - chocolatey/choco#512. 0.9.10 just released today and folks are going to start reporting breakages even though we noted it in our release notes and tried to give plenty of notice to folks that it was coming (2 months notice in this case).

Here is the relevant portion of the ChangeLog (under breaking changes):

• Exit with the same exit code as the software being installed - see #512

There are more exit codes from Chocolatey now that indicate success -0, 1605, 1614, 1641, and 3010. You may need to adjust anything you were using that would only check for 0 and nonzero.
If you need the previous behavior, be sure to disable the feature usePackageExitCodes or use the --ignore-package-exit-codes switch in your choco commands.

The workaround until the provider handles this correctly is listed above.

To reiterate:

If you need the previous behavior, be sure to disable the feature usePackageExitCodes or use the --ignore-package-exit-codes switch in your choco commands.

You can add this to install_options or set the feature.

It's preferred to set the feature. You can do that with this:

$_choco_exe_path = "c:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\bin\\choco.exe"

# lint:ignore:80chars
    exec { "chocolatey_usePackageExitCodes_disable":
      path        => $::path,
      command     => "${_choco_exe_path} feature disable -n usePackageExitCodes",
      unless      => "cmd.exe /c ${_choco_exe_path} feature list -r | findstr /B /I /C:\"[ ] usePackageExitCodes\"",
    }
# lint:endignore

This may need a bit of tweaking, but it will be about what you need.

This was released as part of puppetlabs/chocolatey in 2.0.0. Will retroactively apply it back to this.
