Change By: Lucy Wyman

We expect users to be on the latest version of bolt. Bolt should therefore inform users when they can upgrade.

- How will users who want to stay on a lower version disable this? - We can probably use DuJour for this - How often do we poll for new version? Daily - Where do we store the last time we notified you of an upgrade? {{~/.puppetlabs/bolt/.versioncheck}} Last time notified

Re: Bolt should inform users when there is a new version available Lucy will ask in Slack about how people want to use this feature and what people want to know. What metrics do we want to improve: Do we want people to upgrade from older Bolt versions? Do we want to get to 70% of people on newest version before next release?

Re: Bolt should inform users when there is a new version available Feedback from the community was "definitely yes", though folks wanted to get updates not on the CLI from Bolt but rather as an email / RSS feed update. Rnelson pointed out that a log message could show up in CI and, he's experienced this before with other tools, cause a failure when looking for output / warnings. Both TheBigChungus and ragnarkorn mentioned the mailing list (we have a mailing list?), or autoposting to the #announcements channel (which I doubt anyone looks at.....)

bolt update check would be a non-intrusive way of getting easy access to the desired info.

Re: Bolt should inform users when there is a new version available I don't think bolt update check will improve our upgrade rate. If you think to check you're probably already upgrading. I think this either needs to be a CLI message or it's probably not worth doing.

Re: Bolt should inform users when there is a new version available

I've seen more than a few cases where an error occurred due to the user (even SEs) running an old version of Bolt. One possibility is to augment only the error message with an update notification. For example: Starting: plan test Finished: plan test in 0.02 sec { "kind": "bolt/pal-error", "msg": "Evaluation Error: Unknown function: 'puppetdb_query'. (file: /Users/kevin.reeuwijk/.puppetlabs/bolt/site-modules/test/plans/init.pp, line: 11, column: 13)", "details": { } "updateinfo" : "You are running v1.2.0, the latest version is v1.26.0. Consider upgrading!" }
