(Spotify) Package fails to finish if Spotify does not launch as expected about chocolatey-packages HOT 5 CLOSED

There is a PR up to fix that.

from chocolatey-packages.

It looks like the package is waiting for Spotify.exe to run, in order to kill it - we should possibly add logic to timeout after ~30-60 seconds (or some other agreed, reasonable time).

That said, when I tested this by running choco install spotify --version 1.2.20.1218 --confirm, I saw the application launch and be killed, completing the package install - so could not replicate this issue on a sandbox system. Is it possible the issue on your system is caused by previously installed settings, or similar?

We could still add a timeout to the logic, but at that point I'd say it was more enhancement than bug.

Thanks for the reply, I tried to replicate it myself, but for some reason both the version mentioned here and a new one, installed just fine today. So my guess is, it was either timeout as you suggested, or some other not-persistent issue

Issue seems to be when you already have Spotify installed but without using Chocolatey. I uninstalled the Spotify package from Chocolatey, located the already installed instance of Spotify on my PC and uninstalled it too. Can install correctly with Chocolatey after that.

Given all of the above, I think we can close this issue for now. If we find that it rears up again, we can add a timeout - but as the issue seems rather rare, I'd not say it's at all urgent.
