It seems to me that the topic of finding or detecting module updates on the PowerShell Gallery has gotten a lot of interest over the last few days. So I thought I'd contribute my bit of code to check currently installed modules against their online versions in the PowerShell Gallery.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have a PowerShell script I called Check-ModuleUpdate, which you can find as a gist on Github.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/gist.github.com\/jdhitsolutions\/8a49a59c5dd19da9dde6051b3e58d2d0<\/p>\n

The script gets all currently installed scripts and filters out those that do not have a value for the RepositorySourceLocation.\u00a0 On my computer I've only installed from the PSGallery<\/a> so the links are all the same. If you will have multiple locations you'll need to modify the code, especially with Find-Module<\/a> to accommodate the differences.<\/p>\n

The script then uses a ForEach loop to get the online version so that it can compare it with the installed version. The script writes a custom object to the pipeline. I've also included code to indicate if you have multiple versions of a module installed.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another use is to pipe to Out-Gridview<\/a> and use that as an object picker to update selected modules.<\/p>\n

C:\\scripts\\Check-ModuleUpdate.ps1 | \r\nOut-Gridview -title \"Select modules to update\" -PassThru | \r\nforeach { \r\n    Write-Host \"Updating $($_.name)\" -foreground Cyan\r\n    update-module $_.name -force \r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\n
I'll admit this isn't a perfect script. You might even prefer to have it as a function. So I'll leave enhancements and updates to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
