NOTE: No required changes that the validator checks have been flagged! It is appreciated if you fix other items, but only Requirements will hold up a package version from approval. A human review could still turn up issues a computer may not easily find.

Guidelines

Guidelines are strong suggestions that improve the quality of a package version. These are considered something to fix for next time to increase the quality of the package. Over time Guidelines can become Requirements. A package version can be approved without addressing Guideline comments but will reduce the quality of the package.

Notes

Notes typically flag things for both you and the reviewer to go over. Sometimes this is the use of things that may or may not be necessary given the constraints of what you are trying to do and/or are harder for automation to flag for other reasons. Items found in Notes might be Requirements depending on the context. A package version can be approved without addressing Note comments.

I see that the installer timed out from looking at the raw log:

> 2021-02-19 12:51:02,450 2112 [DEBUG] - Elevating permissions and running ["C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\connection-string-creator\tools\ConnectionStringCreator_Chocolatey.exe" /SILENT=YES /DESTINATION=C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\connection-string-creator\tools\bin ]. This may take a while, depending on the statements.
> 2021-02-19 13:35:55,484 2112 [WARN ] - Chocolatey timed out waiting for the command to finish. The timeout
> specified (or the default value) was '2700' seconds. Perhaps try a
> higher --execution-timeout? See choco -h for details.

When I test the package locally and look at my installer log it executes in 316 milliseconds. How can I reproduce the issue?

Hi,
When you say that you are testing locally, are you testing in the chocolatey test environment?

We've found connection-string-creator v2.13.0.0 in a submitted status and waiting for your next actions. It has had no updates for 20 or more days since a reviewer has asked for corrections. Please note that if there is no response or fix of the package within 15 days of this message, this package version will automatically be closed (rejected) due to being stale.

Take action:

  • Log in to the site and respond to the review comments.
  • Resubmit fixes for this version.
  • If the package version is failing automated checks, you can self-reject the package.

If your package is failing automated testing, you can use the chocolatey test environment to manually run the verification and determine what may need to be fixed.

Note: We don't like to see packages automatically rejected. It doesn't mean that we don't value your contributions, just that we can not continue to hold packages versions in a waiting status that have possibly been abandoned. If you don't believe you will be able to fix up this version of the package within 15 days, we strongly urge you to log in to the site and respond to the review comments until you are able to.

KellermanSoftware (maintainer) on 29 Mar 2021 23:41:18 +00:00:

I am testing on my local machine outside of the test environment.

TheCakeIsNaOH (reviewer) on 01 Apr 2021 16:22:21 +00:00:

Hi,

I would suggest debugging in the Chocolatey test environment, as that is very close to the environment that verifier test has.
https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-test-environment

If it ends up working in the Chocolatey test environment, but still fails the verifer test, then it can be exempted.
Or if the software is incompatible with server 2012 for some reason, then it can also be exempted.

Regards, TheCakeIsNaOH

Unfortunately there has not been progress to move connection-string-creator v2.13.0.0 towards an approved status within 15 days after the last review message, so we need to close (reject) the package version at this time. If you want to pick this version up and move it towards approval in the future, use the contact site admins link on the package page and we can move it back into a submitted status so you can submit updates.

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'rejected'.
