using version catalogs, how do you check for dependency updates ?

[Big Chungus]

Don't think there's anything provided for that out of the box. #refreshversions might already have a support for version catalogues though, not sure.

i don’t think so, from a quick check. Thanks!

You check the same way as without version catalogs. Any plugin that checks the used versions should work fine. I know Gradle versions plugin by Ben Manes does.

Try this: https://github.com/littlerobots/version-catalog-update-plugin

Yep, that's an extension to the Gradle versions plugin fo Ben Manes.
Bens plugin checks for updates, that plugin can udpate the TOML file with the results.

We use renovate for this, that works flawless

It creates a PR on updates

Dependabot can probably also do it if you prefer a tool that creates PRs on your projects.
I usually prefer a plugin that I can run locally and that is independent from any hosting service. 🙂

Nope it doesn't support version catalogs that why we went with renovate

[Paul Woitaschek]

Renovate also just runs locally
