Outdated
Outdated
Outdated Command (choco outdated)
Returns a list of outdated packages.
Usage
choco outdated [<options/switches>]
Examples
choco outdated
choco outdated -s https://somewhere/out/there
choco outdated -s "'https://somewhere/protected'" -u user -p pass
If you use --source=https://somewhere/out/there
, it is
going to look for outdated packages only based on that source, so
you may want to add --ignore-unfound
to your options.
:choco-info: NOTE
See scripting in how to pass arguments (
choco -?
) for how to write proper scripts and integrations.
Exit Codes
Exit codes that normally result from running this command.
Normal:
- 0: operation was successful, no issues detected
- -1 or 1: an error has occurred
Enhanced:
- 0: no outdated packages
- -1 or 1: an error has occurred
- 2: outdated packages have been found (enhanced)
:choco-info: NOTE
If you have the feature ‘useEnhancedExitCodes’ turned on, then choco will provide enhanced exit codes that allow better integration and scripting.
If you find other exit codes that we have not yet documented, please file a ticket so we can document it at https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/new/choose.

Options and Switches
:choco-info: NOTE
Options and switches apply to all items passed, so if you are running a command like install that allows installing multiple packages, and you use
--version=1.0.0
, it is going to look for and try to install version 1.0.0 of every package passed. So please split out multiple package calls when wanting to pass specific options.
