PSResourceGet Registering ProGet feeds fails-- Unknown Repository Default is not Desirable

Prerequisites

[X] Write a descriptive title.
[X] Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
[X] Search the existing issues.

Steps to reproduce

We've been using ProGet with no issues with PowerShellGet for years ...

$ServerDomain = "ProGet"
$FeedName  = "PowerShell"

Register-PSResourceRepository -Name $ServerDomain -Uri https://$ServerDomain/nuget/$FeedName -Trusted -Force
Install-PSResource $ModuleName -Repository $ServerDomain

Install-PSResource: Repository 'ProGet' is not a known repository type that is supported. Please file an issue for support at https://github.com/PowerShell/PSResourceGet/issues

Important:

I was able to get it to work by simply editing $Home\AppData\Local\PSResourceGet\PSResourceRepository.xml and replacing "unknown" with "v2" -- this is purely a bug in Register-PSResourceRepository which I don't understand.

Expected behavior

Register-PSResourceRepository should _just work_

Actual behavior

Register-PSResourceRepository put `APIVersion="unknown"` in the `PSResourceRepository.xml` file

We discussed this and determined that setting the api version value to a best guess is better than setting it to unknown if we can't for certain determine the API version (this wasn't a problem in PowerShellGet since only v2 was supported), if it is a guessed api version rather than known, we may want to emit a warning so the user can use the Set-PSResourceRepository cmdlet to update the ApiVersion if they themselves know the api version of the feed they are using and the guess is incorrect

Better documentation on the ApiVersion should be coming shortly

Can the cmdlet be updated to auto discover which version is in use? Try v3 first and then fall back to v2 and if that doesn't work make the API version unknown.

Have the same issue with Proget feeds. I am unsure if this comment should be here or in #1413 as there seems to be some overlap with them.

If I manually edit $Home\AppData\Local\PSResourceGet\PSResourceRepository.xml the work around from "unknown" to "v2" it allows Find-PSResource to work however the Name property is blank which will result in an error on Install-PSResource.

Output

Output of Find-PSResource -Name Pester -Repository GalleryProxy as I can't upload an image from this machine:

It works if you update the uri to this: Register-PSResourceRepository -Name ProGet -Uri https://$ServerDomain/nuget/$FeedName/v3/index.json -Trusted

This is documented here: https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget-feeds-nuget#using-the-nuget-api

@ajansveld I just tried to repro this on a connector based feed in ProGet (that proxies PSGallery) but any Find-PSResource/Install-PSResource return 404 when hitting ProGet's v3 URL.

Ran:

Install-PSResource -Name PSTcpIp -Repository GalleryProxy

Returned:

Install-PSResource: 'Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not Found).' Request sent: 'https://my.proget.instance/nuget/GalleryProxy/v3/index.json'
Install-PSResource: Package(s) 'PSTcpIp' could not be installed from repository 'GalleryProxy'.

Get-PSResourceRepository -Name GalleryProxy | Select-Object -Property *

Name           : GalleryProxy
Uri            : https://my.proget.instance/nuget/GalleryProxy/v3/index.json
Trusted        : True
Priority       : 50
CredentialInfo :
ApiVersion     : v3

Current ProGet Version: Version 2023.24 (Build 3)

Beyond using that v3 URL did you need do anything else?

Feb 15 '24 19:02 ephos

To be clear, the Register-PSResourceRepository command always ran without errors, it just didn't put the right thing in $Home\AppData\Local\PSResourceGet\PSResourceRepository.xml

@ephos I don't think so, other than enabling JSON-LD (v3) api support for the endpoint of course. But our repo is not a PSGallery proxy.

Does this show your modules? (Invoke-RestMethod https://my.proget.instance/nuget/GalleryProxy/v3/search).data

Feb 16 '24 17:02 ajansveld

@ajansveld unfortunately I no longer work at the organization that had Proget and can't check this.

May 15 '24 19:05 ephos

@Jaykul do you believe this is still an issue? I cannot repro the problem (as long as the correct uri is used).

May 22 '24 14:05 ajansveld

We can't just use v3/index.json when PSResourceGet doesn't support dependencies on v3 feeds.

Other than that ... I've completely stopped using this module pending a release that actually works.
