The npm update command seems to be disregard the information provided by npm outdated

After running npm outdated on my project, I discovered that there were multiple outdated packages. Subsequently, I executed npm update, which successfully updated some of the packages but not all. Even after running npm outdated again, the remaining outdated packages were still listed:


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

Despite attempting to run npm update once more, it appeared to have no effect!

How come these two commands are showing conflicting information?

Appreciate any assistance provided.

Answer №1

Executing the command npm update will not update packages in your package.json that have specific versions pinned. This is why the npm outdated command displays three columns: the currently installed version, the latest version matching what is specified in package.json, and the absolute latest version available.
