workflows: Add automation for choco upgrade

[vyncent-t]

Description

Solves issue #2683

This PR introduces an automation workflow and a supporting script to streamline the process of updating the Chocolatey package for Headlamp. The automation workflow automatically updates the headlamp.nuspec file and the checksum in app/windows/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyinstall.ps1, then creates a new PR with the changes for the updated version.

Key Changes

1. New Automation Workflow:

   • Added a GitHub Actions workflow that:
     • Runs the choco-auto.js script to update the headlamp.nuspec file with the new version number.
     • Updates the checksum in chocolateyinstall.ps1 to match the new version.
     • Automatically opens a new PR with the changes.

2. choco-auto.js Script:

   • Added choco-auto.js to app/windows/chocolatey.
   • This script handles:
     • Updating the headlamp.nuspec file with the provided version number.
     • Calculating and updating the checksum in chocolateyinstall.ps1.

3. Script Requirements:

   • The choco-auto.js script requires a version number as an argument.
   • The version number must contain only numeric characters and periods (e.g., 0.27.0).

How to Use the Script Manually

1. Navigate to the Chocolatey directory:
   cd app/windows/chocolatey

2. Run the script with the desired version number:
   node choco-auto.js 0.27.0

3. Wait for the script to execute. It will:

   • Update the headlamp.nuspec file with the new version number.
   • Update the checksum in chocolateyinstall.ps1.

4. Review the changes to ensure correctness.

Notes

• The workflow automates the update process but the script can also be run manually for testing or one-off updates.
• Ensure that the version number passed to the script is in the correct format (numeric only, e.g., 0.27.0).
• This enhancement reduces manual effort and minimizes the risk of errors when updating the Chocolatey package.

note if you want to test the pipeline workflow have it push to the branch, just swap these two parts here in commented out places and push to the branch, this should then kick off the build workflows to where you can click on PR for updating Chocolatey, let it finish building and click on the link for the new PR

Thanks @vyncent-t . I left a couple of comments.

removed the auto script and this now runs when updating the tag

note: testing when the current main is already updated with the new nuget pkg and hash will create a PR that has no changes to add as this runs for the newest

Almost there. Left a couple more comments.

You forgot to remove the checksums.txt file from git. I also think you should merge the steps that concern the checksums.txt: Download + Extract Data + Remove file -> All in one step.
This is because we then contain the use of the checksums file only to one step, which can be useful.
