Description

The dotnet workload update command updates all installed workloads to the newest available versions. It queries Nuget.org for updated workload manifests. It then updates local manifests, downloads new versions of the installed workloads, and removes all old versions of each workload.

When the command is in workload-set update mode, workloads are updated according to the workload-set version, not the latest version of each individual workload. For more information, see .NET SDK workload sets. workload-set mode is available since 8.0.400 SDK.

For more information about the dotnet workload commands, see the dotnet workload install command.

Options

--advertising-manifests-only

Downloads advertising manifests but doesn't update any workloads.

--configfile <FILE>

The NuGet configuration file (nuget.config) to use. If specified, only the settings from this file will be used. If not specified, the hierarchy of configuration files from the current directory will be used. For more information, see Common NuGet Configurations.

--disable-parallel

Prevents restoring multiple projects in parallel.

--from-previous-sdk

Include workloads installed with previous SDK versions in the update.

-?|-h|--help

Prints out a description of how to use the command.

--ignore-failed-sources

Treats package source failures as warnings.

--include-previews

Allows prerelease workload manifests.

--interactive

Allows the command to stop and wait for user input or action. For example, to complete authentication.

--no-cache

Prevents caching of packages and http requests.

-s|--source <SOURCE>

Specifies the URI of the NuGet package source to use. This setting overrides all of the sources specified in the nuget.config files. Multiple sources can be provided by specifying this option multiple times.

--temp-dir <PATH>

Specify the temporary directory used to download and extract NuGet packages (must be secure).

-v|--verbosity <LEVEL>

Sets the verbosity level of the command. Allowed values are q[uiet], m[inimal], n[ormal], d[etailed], and diag[nostic]. The default is minimal. If you specify detailed or diagnostic verbosity, the command displays information about the Nuget packages that it downloads.

--version

The workload set version to install or update to. If you specify the workload-set version in global.json, you can't use the --version option to specify the workload-set version. To make it possible to use the --version option in that case, run the command outside of the path containing the global.json file. Available since 8.0.400 SDK. For more information, see .NET SDK workload sets.

Examples

Update the installed workloads to the latest version of each individual workload:
```
dotnet workload config --update-mode manifests
dotnet workload update
```

Update the installed workloads to the latest workload set version:

dotnet workload config --update-mode workload-set
dotnet workload update
