Chocolatey and installing GIT

[Simon-Pierre Diamond]

Hi guys,

I am trying to install git with chocolatey using a playbook:

- name: Install GIT

  win_chocolatey:

    name: git

    state: present

It should be really simple when I run this. It should go through and no issues.

Although this gets quite tricky. 

I get the following error when running this:

"stdout_lines": [

        "Installing the following packages:",

        "git",

        "By installing you accept licenses for the packages.",

        "",

        "git.install v2.23.0 [Approved]",

        "git.install package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.",

        "Using Git LFS",

        "Installing 64-bit git.install...",

        "WARNING: User (you) cancelled the installation.",

        "ERROR: Running [\"C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\lib\\git.install\\tools\\Git-2.23.0-64-bit.exe\" /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /SP- /LOG /COMPONENTS=\"icons,assoc,assoc_sh,ext,ext\\shellhere,ext\\guihere,gitlfs,icons\\quicklaunch\" ] was not successful. Exit code was '5'. Exit code indicates the following: User (you) cancelled the installation..",

        "git not installed. An error occurred during installation:",

        " Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.",

        "git package files install completed. Performing other installation steps.",

        "The install of git was NOT successful.",

        "git not installed. An error occurred during installation:",

        " Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.",

        "",

        "Chocolatey installed 0/2 packages. 2 packages failed.",

        " See the log for details (C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\logs\\chocolatey.log).",

        "",

        "Failures",

        " - git.install (exited 5) - Error while running 'C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\lib\\git.install\\tools\\chocolateyInstall.ps1'.",

        " See log for details.",

        " - git (exited 1) - git not installed. An error occurred during installation:",

        " Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown."

    ]

Then when I look at the log, I can see this on the machine:

12 15:23:06,611 3344 [DEBUG] - Received arguments: install git --fail-on-unfound --yes --no-progress --limit-output --timeout 2700

If I run this manually in Powershell:

choco install git --fail-on-unfound --yes --no-progress --limit-output --timeout 2700

It works fine and super good.

I can only assume that it is the module. Anybody can help me with this?

This could be a result of a few things, what I would try is;

• Use win_command to run 'choco install git --yes --no-progress'
• If this fails then the error probably lies within the WinRM memory limits placed on a process
• If it doesn't fail then something might be up with the module
  
• Check if you can install any other chocolatey packages can be installed
• If not, then something is up with your Chocolatey install
• Try running with async, this should escape the WinRM memory limits I mentioned above
• Have a look on the server when running your win_chocolatey task and see what is taking up all the memory (powershell.exe, choco.exe, or some other exe)

Thanks

You are right Jordan, I could use win_command instead.

As of now, Git is the only software I need, and wanted it in an automated way, chocolatey was the easiest until that happens...

I will look into all that stuff, thank you, that should give me enough to look at.

Thank you!

Hi Jordan,

Just for your information,

I guess I did not read the documentation properly, the winrm memory fix helped to run the everything through.

Although, it does not seem to work as expected. In the log I can see "  Software installed to 'C:\\Program Files\\Git\\'"

This is when I run ansible-playbook  with verbose. 

When I go and look on the server, the files are not present. which gets me wondering.

Also if I run the uninstall manually, it looks like git was not installed.

Anyway, I will probably just run win_command instead. But I figured I should state the issue here.
