Choco: upgrade - prerelease with dependencies that are also prerelease fails to upgrade

[bc3tech]

What You Are Seeing?

I cannot upgrade a prerelease package which has a prerelease dependency w/o specifying -pre to choco upgrade

What is Expected?

chocolatey attempts to upgrade the package because it sees it's out of date - without -pre - so it should likewise update any prerelease dependencies

seealso my comment on #686

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

attempt choco upgrade vivaldi when an old prerelease package is installed

That's weird. I wonder if there are other things at play on this with the repository issues we've been having. Can we verify this against a source that is not https://chocolatey.org/api/v2?

[Gootjes]

I am having the same issue with the jamovi package.
I verified this bug against a local source folder. Therefore, I can confirm that choco upgrade jamovi --pre works, but choco upgrade jamovi does not work. With the api as a source, there are no differences in web requests and responses either (as indicated by Fiddler). The nupkg is simply never downloaded when the command does not include --pre.

What is interesting, is that it does detect that the package is outdated (and therefore, also understands that the installation is a prelease).

I ran with --debug --trace and --verbose, but there is no additional log output before the error occurs, and it seems to occur in (the logic directly preceding) NuGet.

[NuGet] Attempting to resolve dependency 'jamovi.install (= 1.2.0.0-current)'.
jamovi not upgraded. An error occurred during installation:
    Unable to resolve dependency 'jamovi.install (= 1.2.0.0-current)'.

Running separate NuGet or Find-Package commands find the packages btw, although the nuget command output specifies the version differently than Find-Package (which one does choco use?)

.\nuget list jamovi -source 'https://chocolatey.org/api/v2' -prerelease
Find-Package jamovi -allowPrereleaseVersions -Source 'https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/'

How would I do that?

[ferventcoder]

Outdated and upgrade all specifically flips a switch on prereleases to do that. I would consider this an enhancement to allow upgrade do that if you have a prerelease installed. I think it would probably need to flip it on for the entire set of dependencies though.

[ferventcoder]

Maybe a bug... I went back and reread the previous issue that made it work for a package being a prerelease being upgraded - it properly handles that aspect.

both appear broken w.r.t. this issue. #686 should be re-opened.

[ferventcoder]

@bc3tech I explained why the issue won't get reopened already at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/686#issuecomment-582451646

So let's move past that and focus on this issue at hand. It looks like a bug, that prerelease dependencies are not also getting found for a prerelease.

[ferventcoder]

That's weird. I wonder if there are other things at play on this with the repository issues we've been having. Can we verify this against a source that is not https://chocolatey.org/api/v2?

How would I do that?

Put all the nupkgs in the same folder locally and use -s . as part of upgrade.

Good, that validates the issue is an issue. Thanks for that @bc3tech. I've marked this up as a bug and to be reviewed with the next release. This does have a workaround, but that workaround is not optimal. So hopefully this will be easy to find and fix.
