Investigate why Chocolatey package is failing validation

[Daniel15]

The Chocolatey build is failing validation for some reason, so Chocolately is currently stuck on version 0.17.6

I don't understand why the package test is failing - I don't see any error messages in the output, it just says that it failed. Any ideas?

The error is here - https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/7372ee43bdba9cb54a795157969f9491#file-install-txt-L533

Something to do with your Start-ChocolateyProcessAsAdmin call

Is there a way to get the actual error message it's encountering? It just says "See log for possible error messages."

I think the error is hidden deep inside that XML blob here - https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/7372ee43bdba9cb54a795157969f9491#file-install-txt-L531

eg.

<S S="Error">ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid object passed in, ':' or '}' expected. (1):
