Exclude a file from the github repo

[jms-du-se]

I would like to add the application eduVPN to Evergreen and I managed to update the Manifest and the App file, but ran into an issue that I can't seem to resolve.

In the same Github repo, there is also the client for Let's connect VPN, but I don't want these installers, so I need to filter on the filename eduVPNClient_.exe or eduVPNClient_.msi.

I tried to add the following to the Manifest: "MatchFile": "^eduVPNClient_\\.*\\.(exe|msi)$", but that didn't help. I'll probably need something in the get-eduVPN.ps1 file as well, in order to make this work, but I dont know what.

The Git repo: https://github.com/Amebis/eduVPN/releases/tag/3.4
The API of the repo: https://api.github.com/repos/Amebis/eduVPN/releases/latest

Any suggestions or ideas?

The Get-eduVPN file:

Function Get-eduVPN {
    <#
        .SYNOPSIS
            Returns the latest EduVPN version number and download.

        $res = (Get-FunctionResource -AppName ("$($MyInvocation.MyCommand)".Split("-"))[1])
    )

    # Pass the repo releases API URL and return a formatted object
    $params = @{
        Uri          = $res.Get.Uri
        MatchVersion = $res.Get.MatchVersion
        Filter       = $res.Get.MatchFileTypes
    }
    $object = Get-GitHubRepoRelease @params
    Write-Output -InputObject $object
}

The Manifest file:

{
	"Name": "eduVPN",
	"Source": "https://app.eduvpn.org/",
    "Get": {
		"Uri": "https://api.github.com/repos/Amebis/eduVPN/releases/latest",
		"MatchVersion": "(\\d+(\\.\\d+){1,4}).*",
		"MatchFile": "^eduVPNClient_\\.*\\.(exe|msi)$",
		"MatchFileTypes": "\\.exe$|\\.msi$"
	},
	"Install": {
		"Setup": "eduVPNClient_*.exe",
		"Preinstall": "",
		"Physical": {
			"Arguments": "/install /quiet /norestart",
			"PostInstall": [
			]
		},
		"Virtual": {
			"Arguments": "",
			"PostInstall": [
			]
		}
	}
}

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I believe I found a solution.

    # Pass the repo releases API URL and return a formatted object
    $params = @{
        Uri          = $res.Get.Uri
        MatchVersion = $res.Get.MatchVersion
        Filter       = $res.Get.MatchFileTypes
    }
    $object = Get-GitHubRepoRelease @params
    #Filter the LetsConnectClient installers
    $object = $object | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch "LetsConnectClient_"}

    Write-Output -InputObject $object

Does this make sense?

This should work:

{
	"Name": "eduVPN",
	"Source": "https://app.eduvpn.org/",
    "Get": {
		"Uri": "https://api.github.com/repos/Amebis/eduVPN/releases/latest",
		"MatchVersion": "(\\d+(\\.\\d+){1,4}).*",
		"MatchFileTypes": "^eduVPNClient_.*(exe|msi)$"
	},
	"Install": {
		"Setup": "eduVPNClient_*.exe",
		"Preinstall": "",
		"Physical": {
			"Arguments": "/install /quiet /norestart",
			"PostInstall": [
			]
		},
		"Virtual": {
			"Arguments": "",
			"PostInstall": [
			]
		}
	}
}
