get-packageupdates's Introduction

Get-PackageUpdates

Print Chocolatey and PSGallery updates in your PowerShell session

Installation

Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery:

Install-Module Get-PackageUpdates -Scope CurrentUser

Add the following lines to your $profile:

Import-Module Get-PackageUpdates
Write-PackageUpdates

Create a shortcut under shell:startup that includes the following line:

C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Save-PackageUpdates"

This will start a PS session at startup (logon) which will get and save the available updates. That way it can be printed when you start a new session once it is available.

get-packageupdates's Issues

Type for update counts differ

Number for PS Gallery and string for Chocolatey in ~/.updateinfo:

{
  "PSUpdatesCount": 1,
  "ChocoUpdatesCount": "1"
}

Can't import module on Linux

The module is installed into a folder called get-packageupdates. Renaming the folder to Get-PackageUpdates solves the issue.

Write-Update checks for wrong file name

Save-PackageUpdates writes to file ~/.updateInfo while Write-PackageUpdates checks for the existence of ~/.updateinfo (lower-case). That works on Windows because the file system API is case insensitive but fails on Linux and macOS. The result is that Write-PackageUpdates never displays package updates.
