Description
What You Are Seeing?
When the Chocolatey Licensed extension fails to load some of the expected helper cmdlets won't be available due to the importing being aborted before everything is processed.
This also affects when normal extensions are imported if they fail to be imported in some way.
This especially affects users of the AU extension which makes a monkey patch of the cmdlets to make maintenance easier for the user, in which case the Licensed extension can not be loaded.
What is Expected?
All cmdlets available in open source Chocolatey should be loaded even in the case where an extension is failing to load, even if that extension is the Licensed edition of Chocolatey.
Before Chocolatey 0.11.0 failing to import any extension with a DLL extension would report a Warning, but continue execution. After 0.11.1 this has been changed to an error, and is preventing the execution of the module loading.
How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)
- Have Chocolatey 0.11.1+ and a supported Licensed extension installed.
- Create a new package that uses the
Get-ChocolateyWebFilecmdlet. - Create an AU update script for updating the package.
- Ensure the monkey patched scripts are first removed (
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\chocolatey\au - Force a package update using the created AU update script.
