Stop Hand-Rolling Chocolate: Automating Chocolatey with psake
summary
Claims that manual Chocolatey packaging becomes repeatable and auditable by wiring Chocolatey into a psake v5 build: tasks for test pack push, pester-based newspec validation, and GitHub Actions that run the same build script so CI enforces pester tests and CI publish on merge. Examples include patterns used at scale (30,000 machines, mixed OS fleets; Brazil office CDN workaround) and a VS Code psake extension. The demo builds packages, captures stdout/stderr on failure, and successfully automates pack and publish.
