Installing with Chocolatey failed

[nilshjalmarson]

I'm trying to install gitversion.portable with Choco but am failing. Any ideas?

Logfile as the following:

Hmmm, I thought I had fixed this issue in Chocolatey, but looks like it is still not working.

For now, you should be able to get GitVersion installed using:

choco install gitversion.portable -y -n

The addition of the -n means that the PowerShell script within the Chocolatey package will be skipped, and this is what is generating your error. By skipping, it means that you won't be able to use the gfv shim on the command line, but you will still be able to use gitversion.

Would you be able to post an issue on the choco repo with the above gist, indicating that the Generate-BinFile is still not working on 0.9.9.4?

Thanks!

I had this problem as well and the above worked for me. Thanks @gep13

Glad to hear you got it working! 👍
