Set up a Development Environment

Set Up A Development Environment Using Chocolatey

How many of you out there are rake fans? Getting developers to look at your source code can sometimes be an issue. Wouldn’t it be nice if it was simple for them to get all set up? What about Ruby DevKit? It would be nice, right?

Set up From the Source

This does the following:

downloads and installs Chocolatey
installs nuget.commandline if it is not installed
installs ruby.devkit if it is not installed
installs ruby if it is not installed
updates gems and installs some required gems for rake
restores nuget packages from the configs
builds the source with rake

setup.ps1:

function Install-NeededFor {
param(
   [string] $packageName = ''
  ,[bool] $defaultAnswer = $true
)
  if ($packageName -eq '') {return $false}

  $yes = '6'
  $no = '7'
  $msgBoxTimeout='-1'
  $defaultAnswerDisplay = 'Yes'
  $buttonType = 0x4;
  if (!$defaultAnswer) { $defaultAnswerDisplay = 'No'; $buttonType= 0x104;}

  $answer = $msgBoxTimeout
  try {
    $timeout = 10
    $question = "Do you need to install $($packageName)? Defaults to `'$defaultAnswerDisplay`' after $timeout seconds"
    $msgBox = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
    $answer = $msgBox.Popup($question, $timeout, "Install $packageName", $buttonType)
  }
  catch {
  }

  if ($answer -eq $yes -or ($answer -eq $msgBoxTimeout -and $defaultAnswer -eq $true)) {
    write-host "Installing $packageName"
    return $true
  }

  write-host "Not installing $packageName"
  return $false
}


# Install Chocolatey
if (Install-NeededFor 'chocolatey') {
  [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
}

# install nuget, ruby.devkit, and ruby if they are missing
cinst nuget.commandline

if (Install-NeededFor 'ruby / ruby devkit') {
  cinst ruby.devkit
  cinst ruby --version 1.9.3.54500
}

# perform ruby updates and get gems
gem update --system
gem install rake
gem install bundler

# restore the nuget packages
$nugetConfigs = Get-ChildItem '.\\' -Recurse | ?{$_.name -match "packages\\.config"} | select
foreach ($nugetConfig in $nugetConfigs) {
  Write-Host "restoring packages from $($nugetConfig.FullName)"
  nuget install $($nugetConfig.FullName) /OutputDirectory packages
}

rake

setup.cmd:

@echo off
SET DIR=%~dp0%
@PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "& '%DIR%setup.ps1' %*"

Getting the Source

Create a package for your project and call it projectname*.dev*. It should take a nuspec dependency on whatever source control you use. So in the case of git, a dependency on msysgit. Now, in chocolateyInstall.ps1, you just need something like the following:

try {

  $dirSelected = Read-Host "Please tell me the directory where you want to clone dropkick. Press enter to use .\\dropkick"

  if ($dirSelected -eq '') {$dirSelected = '.\\dropkick'}

  git clone git://github.com/chucknorris/dropkick.git $dirSelected

  Start-Sleep 6
} catch {
@"
Error Occurred: $($_.Exception.Message)
"@ | Write-Host -ForegroundColor White -BackgroundColor DarkRed
	Start-Sleep 8
	throw
}

function Install-NeededFor {

  $no = '7'
  $msgBoxTimeout='-1'
  $defaultAnswerDisplay = 'Yes'
  $buttonType = 0x4;
  if (!$defaultAnswer) { $defaultAnswerDisplay = 'No'; $buttonType= 0x104;}

  $answer = $msgBoxTimeout
  try {
    $timeout = 10
    $question = "Do you need to install $($packageName)? Defaults to `'$defaultAnswerDisplay`' after $timeout seconds"
    $msgBox = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
    $answer = $msgBox.Popup($question, $timeout, "Install $packageName", $buttonType)
  }
  catch {
  }

  if ($answer -eq $yes -or ($answer -eq $msgBoxTimeout -and $defaultAnswer -eq $true)) {
    write-host "Installing $packageName"
    return $true
