Proget 2024.37 (Build 4) issues (tags and counters)

[phopkins_6694]

Still no tags in Version 2025.3 (Build 9), and cant be searched for in UI
Trying a reindex for what it's worth

Update: Re-index did not correct the issue

Hi @phopkins_6694,

If you've upgraded, then the tags should now be displayed on the Metadata tab of the package.

When doing a search in the ProGet UI for NuGet (and Choco/PowerShell) packages, the Name, Description, and Tags are considered. However, the ordering may not be what you expect, especially if your tags are common words common in many names/descriptions.

Thanks,
Steve

@stevedennis Yep the metadata is definitely there, and searchable via choco CMD but not via the proget Search Box.
Here is an interesting thing though which might give you some clue as to what is going on...

If I have a local connector FEED_B going into that FEED_A I search for metadata and that works in the proget UI. So the connected FEED_B works through FEED_A, but then when I go to FEED_B direct and UI search it exhibits the same bug.

Hope that helps

Hi @phopkins_6694,

I'm afraid not; the Chocolatey client and ProGet UI perform different search functions so there's not much we do with that information.

If you can provide a very specific reproduction case, we can investigate:

1. Create a new Feed
2. Upload a package
3. Search the package in the ProGet UI

If you share the nuspec of the package you uploaded and your search terms, we can try to reproduce the case and see if we can reproduce. Then we can explain or fix the behavior.

Thanks,
Steve

@stevedennis will try and do before end of week, would any logs help as well?

Hi @phopkins_6694 ,

Probably not - the search in Chocolatey and ProGet UI will be different, and that's not something reasonably addressable. So let's start the issues you're having with ProGet UI search.

Thanks,
Steve

@stevedennis OK I made a test feed, used one of our existing packages and it fails to search. I also made a sanitised dummy package and it also fails. Looks like I cant attach files here so if you want I can email them, otherwise here is the code snippet for the dummy nuspec. Could not search for testX tags. Created with choco pack
Chocolatey v2.4.3

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/packaging/2010/07/nuspec.xsd">
  <metadata>
    <id>test</id>
    <version>0.1</version>
    <authors>me@me.com</authors>
    <description>test nuspec</description>
    <tags>test1 test2 test3 test4</tags>
    <dependencies>
    </dependencies>
  </metadata>
</package>

Also I set up a connector on this TEST_FEED, absorbed into a new TEST_FEED2 and it exhibits that behaviour where I can search for tags in the TEST_FEED2 with proxy. Both a re choco feeds

@phopkins_6694 perfect, just what I was looking for

I was able to reproduce this - searches via the NuGet API (which connectors use) will consider tags, while local searches seem to only be looking at names.

I'm not sure how long this has been the case, but we'll try to get it fixed soon. Unfortunately it's not a trivial fix, hopefully we'll do it via PG-3046, likely in the July 18 maintenance release.

Thanks,
Steve

@stevedennis Nice one, thanks for all your help
