💡 winget DSC deployment

[akamienski]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Plugin deployed with PowerToys DSC deployment using winget.

Describe the solution you'd like Either as winget PowerToys deployment, where I can define to install plugin as well, or seperately while installing Everything plugin with winget.

Additional context I'd like to change default activation command and few other settings.

Is there something I need to implement? From what I can tell, DSC is handled by powertoys itself.

You have to create a YAML for the configurations that you want, and call that YAML using winget configure instead of winget install

@akamienski can you provide more information? Does it currently not work? Can you provide your YAML file that you're using?

@lin-ycv Yes it worked, so what I've done is added plugin as a resource to be installed after powertoys deployment, defined it in PowerToysConfigure.Settings as part of PowerLauncher, with ActionKeyword assigned. So this is how it should look like to work:

properties:
  resources:
    - resource: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
      directives:
        description: Install PowerToys
        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:
        id: Microsoft.PowerToys
        source: winget
    - resource: Microsoft.WinGet.DSC/WinGetPackage
      directives:
        description: Install Everything
        allowPrerelease: true
      settings:
        id: lin-ycv.EverythingPowerToys
        source: winget

    - resource: PowerToysConfigure
      directives:
        description: Configure PowerToys
      settings:
        (...)
        PowerLauncher:
          Enabled: true
          OpenPowerLauncher: "Ctrl+Space"
          UseCentralizedKeyboardHook: true
          SearchQueryTuningEnabled: true
          IgnoreHotkeysInFullscreen: false
          GenerateThumbnailsFromFiles: false
          TabSelectsContextButtons: true
          Position: "Focus"
          Plugins:
            - Name: "Calculator"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Folder"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Program"
              Disabled: false
              IsGlobal: true
            - Name: "Registry Plugin"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Service"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Shell"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Windows System Commands"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "URI Handler"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Web Search"
              Disabled: false
            - Name: "Windows settings"
              Disabled: false
              ActionKeyword: ","
              IsGlobal: false
            - Name: "Everything"
              Disabled: false
              ActionKeyword: "?"
        (...)
  configurationVersion: 0.2.0

FYI dsc doesn't allow you to define plugin specific settings yet, only global ones, like Name, Disabled, IsGlobal, ActionKeyword and WeightBoost.
