Packages are installed during an upgrade when `skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled` is enabled

[pauby]

What You Are Seeing?

When the feature skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled is enabled, and a playbook attempts to upgrade a package that is not present, it is installed.

What is Expected?

When the feature skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled is enabled, and a playbook attempts to upgrade a package that is not present, it should not be installed (or upgraded).

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

1. Run a playbook similar to this against a host capable of running Chocolatey

- name: Reproduction
  hosts: some_host
  tasks:
    - name: Enable Chocolatey Feature to skip not installed packages
      win_chocolatey_feature:
          name: skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled
          state: enabled

    - name: Update 
      win_chocolatey:
        name:
        - package_does_not_exist
        state: upgrade

2. Observe that the win_chocolatey module attempted to choco install

Please note that the package-not-found error is not related to this issue, and was mostly used as a fast method to show that the module was (arguably) incorrectly attempting to install rather than call upgrade.

Additional Context

Workarounds

1. Run Chocolatey CLI manually without using win_chocolatey, if you want to use the feature, e.g.:

   
   - name: Enable Chocolatey Feature to skip not installed packages
   win_chocolatey_feature:
   name: skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled
   state: enabled

• name: Update listed software if installed ansible.windows.win_powershell: parameters: Packages: "{{ packages_to_upgrade }}" script: | param([string[]]$Packages) choco upgrade $Packages --confirm vars: packages_to_upgrade:
  • adobereader
  • googlechrome
  • pdfcreator
  • 7zip
  • firefox
  • firefoxesr
  • notepadplusplus
  • vlc
  • zoom-vdi-universal-plugin

2. Write playbook logic to calculate which packages to upgrade, based on chocolatey_facts, e.g.:

   
   - name: Get Chocolatey Data
   chocolatey.chocolatey.win_chocolatey_facts:

• name: Update listed software if installed chocolatey.chocolatey.win_chocolatey: name: ""{{ packages_to_upgrade | select('in', ansible_chocolatey.packages | map(attribute='package') | list) }}"" state: upgrade vars: packages_to_upgrade:
  • adobereader
  • googlechrome
  • pdfcreator
  • 7zip
  • firefox
  • firefoxesr
  • notepadplusplus
  • vlc
  • zoom-vdi-universal-plugin

Notes and Findings

• Though passing state: upgrade should (in my opinion) call Update-ChocolateyPackage, we calculate which packages are missing from the system and call Install-ChocolateyPackage first.
• This ignores the skipPackageUpgradesWhenNotInstalled feature, as it's calling choco install, and that feature (presumably) only affects choco upgrade.

Proposed Solution

1. We should either ensure that we run upgrade instead of install when the state is set to upgrade, or otherwise respect the features we support in the CLI before interpreting the state.
   a. Checking the feature could be "costly" in comparison to calling upgrade when state is upgrade, but there may be another reason we install missing packages regardless of some states?
