Handle PowerShell's InitializeDefaultDrives Error (that should just be a warning)

[adamsea]

Hello,

I began having an issue today with all install/upgrade operations in chocolatey. A sample of the error is attached:

The related debug info is here:

Whatever program I install with choco install will still install, it just won't appear on subsequent choco list --local-only commands, and all related files are in lib-bad.

The "Attempting to perform the InitializeDefaultDrives operation on the 'FileSystem' provider failed." issue is from a disconnected network drive, but that shouldn't be mapping anything from the default install directory. Could that error still be the root of this issue, or is this a known issue?

Thanks,
-Eric

[ferventcoder]

@adamsea I wonder if this is an issue with NuGet itself. I've actually never heard of that error before.
O_o

Perhaps we can try to figure out where it is occurring a little better?

Try using choco install pkgname -dv to trigger debug and verbose logging from NuGet/PowerShell.

[adamsea]

@ferventcoder I re-ran the install with -dv and here's the output (note that I removed some system-specific info, if you need I can re-add it back in):

The system specific information (the configuration) is not known to contain anything sensitive, and is sometimes very helpful in determining what may be wrong in your environment. However we want folks to look over that information and remove anything that may be sensitive if it appears.

In this case, I'm not sure we need it. Looks like a powershell issue. Something you can resolve on your own:

• https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/windowsserver/en-US/d2747041-d650-42c6-89bd-495d1c8d4578/powershell-launch-error-after-upgrade

• http://damonoverboe.org/post/powershell-needs-your-network-drives

It looks like we need to handle this with chocolatey and not treat it as an error.

[ferventcoder]

Forgot to add all of the references. You will see those on the repo - I will update that.

[adamsea]

Ok thanks @ferventcoder in the meantime I'll try fixing it on my side and verify that fixes the install error!

[ferventcoder]

@adamsea did it work?

[ferventcoder]

@adamsea ping

[adamsea]

Hi @ferventcoder - apologies for the delayed response - yes fixing the disconnected network drive resolved the issue. Thank you for looking into this!

[ferventcoder]

👍

[ferventcoder]

See #445 - the code for this is being reverted with #8 as now by default choco doesn't fail based on stderr being written to and we want both paths to be similar (choco's built-in powershell and system powershell).
