How can I automate Chocolatey install from a private Azure DevOps hosted feed?

Question

I've got a Chocolatey package hosted in a private Azure Devops feed. The feed requires authentication. I'm trying to run this from a PowerShell script in a build task.

choco install typewriter --source="https://o365x.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/Graph/nuget/v3/index.json" --yes --force --password=PAT

I observe that it attempts basic auth. Alternate credentials are disabled for my org. I tried to use a personal access token as the password (no username) and it doesn't work. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

Azure DevOps feeds are v3, but Chocolatey only supports v2.

You should try replacing /v3/index.json in the source with /v2, eg in your case:

https://o365x.pkgs.visualstudio.com/_packaging/Graph/nuget/v2

Microsoft has actually documented that (for nuget) in:
