One of the consent post deployment tasks is to open Chrome and click the box that says “Setup Automatic Updates”. About a year and a half ago I found “chrome-enable-autoupdates.py” by Hannes Juutilainen. It’s been a life saver. One less thing to think about. I use the script in my DeployStudio workflow, after I install chrome.
For some reason last week it failed. I logged into the desktop and ran the script and it ran fine, but the script gave me some feed back that the “Trusted user setting is deprecated”.

Since it’s not well documented and I can’t find anything useful for the error message, I decided to look at the script myself. I suspect the script fails in DeployStudio because the exit code isn’t 0 since a warning message is returned.
I decided to rewrite the “chrome-enable-autoupdates.py”, but in Ruby.
It was a great exercise to not only deconstruct the script and understand what’s going on. Memorex cd dvd writer software download for mac.

Is it a work around? Yep. How long will it work? No idea. But now that I created my own script I feel I have a better handle on troubleshooting it, and I hope in the future versions of Chrome there is a resolution.
You can get the script on my GitHub.
