[WEBSITE] WinGet installation is advertised but the package doesn't exist

[EDM115]

The website tells us that we can install FluentFlyout using winget, but upon running the command, nothing is returned :

https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fwinget-pkgs%20fluentflyout&type=code

Is it just planned for the future ?
Also if it is, a better command would be to include the full package ID and not just the moniker, ex winget install unchihugo.FluentFlyout

[unchihugo]

That's weird, it does exist for me - Microsoft Store automatically adds the package to WinGet iirc, could anyone else confirm?

[EDM115]

oh I see what you've done
basically you can add sources to winget, one of them being the Microsoft Store. in such case, yeah it does find the package and installs it through the store. but for anyone else (iirc the msstore source isn't added by default), it yields nothing

I see, I just had a quick look and I did read that msstore is added by default, though would you like it to be uploaded to winget?

[EDM115]

so the solution is either :
A) Ask users to add the Microsoft Store as a WinGet source before running the command
B) Take care to make PRs against microsoft/winget-pkgs adding the FluentFlyout installer

either doing it manually using microsoft/winget-create (maybe to add it first time ?) or using tools like russellbanks/Komac

[EDM115]

would you like it to be uploaded to winget?

as you wish 🫡

Thanks for the helpful sources! I'll have to fix my GitHub CI pipeline before adding to winget natively, so for now a command to add msstore as source would work, I haven't thought of that :)

is winget install working rn? I used the github cer install method, and I can't find the last update installer certificate

Yes, should be working if msstore is added as a source!
