Prompt Users To Update Out Of Date Tools

Open joefitzgerald opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

A number of issues were resolved with gometalinter after the release of go-plus 4.0.0; but users were not aware of them or the need to update (i.e. go get -u github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter).

  • [ ] Identify when a tool located by go-config is out of date
  • [ ] Prompt a user to update the dependency
  • [ ] Allow for a user to suppress the prompting
  • [ ] Allow for a user to manually trigger the checking of dependency freshness

Out Of Scope For This Issue

  • [ ] Display of status for all packages in GOPATH or vendor
  • [ ] Mechanism to update all dependencies or specific dependencies in GOPATH or vendor

Two packages that might be useful for this:

  • https://github.com/divan/gofresh
  • https://github.com/firstrow/go-outdated

Seems it will be good to provide an option to disable update-tools at all. Now Im forced to change local go-plus code to make this.
