I need to run WiX Toolset V3.14.1 light
command during Gitlab Pipeline, but it's never available to run.

- saas-windows-medium-amd64 # to use Windows runner
During the job execution, I install WiX using chocolatey choco install -y --ignore-dependencies --no-progress wixtoolset
build_windows:
tags:
- saas-windows-medium-amd64 # to use Windows runner
stage: build
script:
- choco install -y --ignore-dependencies --no-progress wixtoolset
- corepack enable
- Import-Module $env:ChocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyProfile.psm1
- light
Even after the installation, light
command is not recognized. The message I receive looks like this:
light : The term 'light' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
When I run each of the commands in my local Windows 10 machine, it works perfectly.
Anyone knows what is the problem with WiX Toolset in Gitlab?
Thank you so much.
I fixed that by using the actual path for light
installed in the Gitlab runner (C:\Program Files (x86)\Wix Toolset 3.14\bin\light.exe), then creating an alias to the light
command
My job looked like this at the end

script:
- choco install -y --ignore-dependencies --no-progress wixtoolset
- corepack enable
- Import-Module $env:ChocolateyInstall\helpers\chocolateyProfile.psm1
- Set-Alias light "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.14\bin\light.exe"
- light
And I'm able to use light
command!
Thank you!
