Notepadplusplus installation failed

[arunjan2019]

I used Chocolatey notepadplusplus installation in Ansible play book like below. It worked well for many days but today it throws this error. I haven't changed this code and its reference main.yml file too.

• name: Ensure notepad++ is installed using chocolatey
  win_chocolatey:
  name: notepadplusplus
  state: present

I would like to understand why this package is failed, what is the better solution?

It throws the following error...
fatal: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "\r\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 2}
vsphere-iso: to retry, use: --limit @/tmp/packer/playbook/build-agents.retry

Could be due to the new chocolatey version.
See chocolatey/choco#1758

Closing this as I do not believe it to be package related.

[arunjan2019]

@AdmiringWorm - Appreciate your quick update. Referring the 1758, it asks to use the following code. but in Ansible playbook how I can use this?
choco feature disable --name="'useEnhancedExitCodes'"

[AdmiringWorm]

Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with ansible so I do not know.

This is something you probably have to ask the ansible people.

@jborean93 ^^ curiosity here on how to disable a feature

[jborean93]

I've posted an example of how to continue to install Chocolatey, disable the enhanced exit code features and then install your package like normal here ansible/ansible#53860 (comment). This is only required until the next release of Ansible is made where the fix has already been applied.

Note that the default for enhanced exit codes was turned to off for Chocolatey v0.10.14. This is for anyone that finds this issue as most folks commenting here are already aware. chocolatey/choco#1784
