List available upgrades for tools with uv tool list --outdated #9309
Description
Is there no way of seeing updates for tools?
I currently have ruff 0.7.3 installed. I can successfully upgrade the tool using uv tool upgrade ruff, which updates it to 0.7.4, but would like to see what is available to upgrade first so that I can go and read the release notes (and put it in a script to show me when new versions are available). I used uv tool install ruff rather than just running via uvx so that I can use generate-shell-completion for it (that does not work when running under uvx as starting a command with uvx ruff ... does not show shell completion for ruff ...)
I am using uv 0.5.3 on Windows, with Powershell 7.4.6
> uv tool list
ruff v0.7.3
- ruff.exe
My uv installed version of ruff is old, but I would have expected to be able to use --outdated like on uv pip list / uv tree
> uv tool list --outdated
error: unexpected argument '--outdated' found
Usage: uv.exe tool list [OPTIONS]
I was looking at if there was other ways of doing this, but it appears not. Oddly, the shell completion for powershell gives --no-upgrade as an option on uv tool upgrade :
> uv tool upgrade --no-upgrade--allow-insecure-host
--all --index-strategy --no-offline --resolution
--allow-insecure-host --index-url --no-preview --show-settings
--allow-python-downloads --isolated --no-progress --upgrade
--binary --keyring-provider --no-python-downloads --upgrade-package
--build --link-mode --no-reinstall --verbose
--build-isolation --native-tls --no-sources --version
--cache-dir --no-binary --no-upgrade -C
--color --no-binary-package --offline -f
--compile-bytecode --no-build --pre -h
--config-file --no-build-isolation --prerelease -i
--config-setting --no-build-isolation-package --preview -n
--default-index --no-build-package --project -p
--directory --no-cache --python -P
--exclude-newer --no-color --python-fetch -q
--extra-index-url --no-compile-bytecode --python-preference -U
--find-links --no-config --quiet -v
--help --no-index --reinstall -V
--index --no-native-tls --reinstall-package
no-upgrade
But running it just gives an error:
> uv tool upgrade --no-upgrade ruff
thread 'main' panicked at crates\uv-cli\src\options.rs:18:17:
internal error: entered unreachable code: Clap should make this impossible
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
But that appears to be more an issue with the uv generate-shell-completion powershell as that option is not listed in the help/documentation?
