After-run mod

[ccorrion]

Howdy,

We're using WAU to upgrade apps and one of the things we're looking at adding is a post-run mod. We would use this for a couple of things:

• Trigger SCCM hardware inventory, so we could have a centralized view of the versions on everything
• Some kind of json/csv output of what got upgraded the last run.

This seems like a pretty simple change to Winget-upgrade.ps1, and a additional WAU-Mods-Postrun template. Is this something y'all are interested in seeing commited to the main project? I'm open to implementation ideas as well.

You always have (but that is pre-updating):
Mods for WAU (if Network is active/any Winget is installed/running as SYSTEM):
https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/tree/main/Sources/WAU/Winget-AutoUpdate/mods#mods-for-wau-if-network-is-activeany-winget-is-installedrunning-as-system

            #Test if _WAU-mods.ps1 exist: Mods for WAU (if Network is active/any Winget is installed/running as SYSTEM)
            $Mods = "$WorkingDir\mods"
            if (Test-Path "$Mods\_WAU-mods.ps1") {
                Write-ToLog "Running Mods for WAU..." "Yellow"
                & "$Mods\_WAU-mods.ps1"
                $ModsExitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
                #If _WAU-mods.ps1 has ExitCode 1 - Re-run WAU
                if ($ModsExitCode -eq 1) {
                    Write-ToLog "Re-run WAU"
                    Start-Process powershell -ArgumentList "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command `"$WorkingDir\winget-upgrade.ps1`""
                    Exit
                }

Hey @ccorrion
are you thinking about WMI call (like in Control Center) or something more sophisticated?

[ccorrion]

For what we're doing, a WMI call is enough, though it makes sense to add an extensibility point there. If you're outputting a json summary of the run, it might make sense to clean those up to only the last 30 days worth. I'm sure there's other things I haven't thought of yet.
