femto upgrade

Would it make sense for there to be a femto upgrade that basically calls dotnet paket upgrade && yarn upgrade?

Hello, just giving my opinion.

For me, Femto is for working with the npm dependencies I don't think I want it to touch my .NET dependencies.

Currently, you can update your .NET dependencies using paket or dotnet. Then you can run femto resolve which will resolve and install the correct version of npm dependencies based on the installed .NET dependencies.

Also femto would need to detect if you are using paket or dotnet to manage your .NET dependencies and call the corresponding one like it does for npm/yarn.

@MangelMaxime Actually Femto does interact with your dotnet dependencies when you run femto install or femto uninstall.

@brettrowberry An upgrade command would be a nice to have though not really needed since you can simply run paket upgrade yourself and then run femto --resolve afterwards. NOT yarn upgrade because we don't know which packages will be required by the new versions of the dotnet dependencies, so just femto --resolve and let it do the magic.

A PR would be really appreciated 🙏 a lot of the work is already done here (finding paket and invoking it) so only adding the command line arg, executing paket upgrade and then femto --resolve

[brettrowberry]

That makes sense. So a femto upgrade would really be a paket upgrade and femto --resolve.

[brettrowberry]

And it would only be possible if paket is used, not nuget.

[Zaid-Ajaj]

@brettrowberry Yes only for paket. Unless of course you are feeling extremely adventurous and want to implement the functionality for Femto to do nuget update 😄 No just kidding, this would be like opening a pandora's box

[MangelMaxime]

It would be strange if femto install and femto uninstall works with paket and dotnet but not femto update no?

In theory, we just need to execute dotnet update against the specified fsproj or is there something else I don't see?

[Zaid-Ajaj]

@MangelMaxime I don't think dotnet has an update command like paket does. Dotnet only has add package and it is only per-project.

[MangelMaxime]

Oops didn't know that. 😅

Then we should just warn that it is not supported in the console because the user doesn't use paket. Just so he knows why :) <- Thinking about future me 😂

[Zaid-Ajaj]

lol 😂 yeah absolutely: if we can't find paket then we simply say this is a paket-only feature

[brettrowberry]

Anybody want to pair on this?
