I ran npm outdated
on a project - it showed that there were several outdated packages. So I ran npm update
- it updated a few packages but not all. If I run npm outdated
again it still shows the remaining packages that are outdated:
Package Current Wanted Latest
babel-loader 7.1.1 7.1.1 7.1.2
babel-runtime 6.23.0 6.23.0 6.26.0
chalk 2.0.1 2.0.1 2.1.0
css-loader 0.28.4 0.28.4 0.28.5
eslint 4.2.0 4.2.0 4.5.0
eslint-plugin-react 7.1.0 7.1.0 7.2.1
fs-extra 4.0.0 4.0.0 4.0.1
html-webpack-plugin 2.29.0 2.29.0 2.30.1
material-ui 1.0.0-beta.5 1.0.0-beta.5 0.19.0
postcss-flexbugs-fixes 3.0.0 3.0.0 3.2.0
react-stripe-elements 0.0.2 0.0.2 0.0.7
webpack 3.3.0 3.3.0 3.5.5
webpack-dev-server 2.5.1 2.5.1 2.7.1
webpack-manifest-plugin 1.1.2 1.1.2 1.3.1
If I try to run npm update
again, it does nothing!
Why are the two commands telling me different things?
Thanks in advance.
If you run npm update
and some of the packages defined in package.json
have their version pinned, it will not update. That is why you see three columns when you run npm outdated
. The current installed version, the latest version that matches what is defined in your package.json
, and finally, the actual latest version.
