Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If True, any differences from the desired state will result in the repository being unregistered, and then re-registered.
force has no effect when state=absent. See notes for additional context.
installation_policy

Sets the InstallationPolicy of a repository.
Will default to trusted when creating a new repository or used with force=True.

string
Specifies the URI for publishing scripts to this repository.
script_source_location
string
Specifies the URI for discovering and installing scripts from this repository.
source_location
string
Specifies the URI for discovering and installing modules from this repository.
A URI can be a NuGet server feed (most common situation), HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or file location.
Required when registering a new repository or using force=True.

    Choices:
  • absent
  • present ←
If present a new repository is added or updated.
If absent a repository is removed.

Notes

Note

  • See the examples on how to update the NuGet package provider.
  • You can not use win_psrepository to re-register (add) removed PSGallery, use the command Register-PSRepository -Default instead.
  • When registering or setting source_location, PowerShellGet will transform the location according to internal rules, such as following HTTP/S redirects.
  • This can result in a CHANGED status on each run as the values will never match and will be “reset” each time.
  • To work around that, find the true destination value with community.windows.win_psrepository_info or Get-PSRepository and update the playbook to match.
  • When updating an existing repository, all options except name are optional. Only supplied options will be updated. Use force=True to exactly match.
  • script_location, publish_location, and script_publish_location are optional but once set can only be cleared with force=True.
  • Using force=True will unregister and re-register the repository if there are any changes, so that it exactly matches the options specified.
