What You Are Seeing?

There are two ways to have templates in Chocolatey CLI.

• You can manually create the template files in the templates folder.
• You can install a template package

When you run choco template list it will attempt to find any packages that manage the templates that are found in the template folder. If one is found, the version number of the package is shown. If no package is found, the version is 0.0.0.

When you run choco template info --name <template-name) it will attempt to find any package that manages the template (if it exists). If one is found, the Title of the template is shown, and if not, the word (Unmanaged) is prefixed on the title.

It would appear that when searching of the package to match the template name, the search is done against currently configured sources, and not of the packages that are currently installed. i.e. via a choco search rather than a choco list.

This problem was discovered when testing for the Product Spotlight on Chocolatey Template Packages.

What is Expected?

It should not be necessary for a template package to exist on a currently configured source.

If a template exists, i.e. lives in the c:\programdata\chocolatey\templates folder, and there exists a locally installed package with that name, then it should not be marked as (Unmanaged) and the version of the package should be correctly shown.

How Did You Get This To Happen?

1. Install a custom template - one which is available on CCR, or any other configured source
2. Run choco template list
3. See in the output that the version of the template package that you just installed is 0.0.0
4. Run choco template info --name <template-name)
5. See in the output that the title includes (Unmanaged)
