kataloger 0.5.0

CLI tool for projects that uses gradle version catalog to check dependency updates.

Kataloger

Kataloger can help update your project dependencies with ease! All you need is point to libs.versions.toml file and supply it with repositories that you use in project.

Features

• Better than Android Studio built-in tool :)
• Gradle-free
• Can be used on CI
• Flexible and open-source

How to use?

Kataloger offers handy CLI which you can use locally or on CI.

You can pass path to version catalog using -p parameter and path to configuration with -c parameter:

kataloger -p ~/ProjectDir/libs.versions.toml -c ~/ProjectDir/default.configuration.toml

Repositories, where artifact updates will be searched for, should be specified in configuration file separately for libraries and plugins as shown below:

# ...
[libraries]
library_repository = "https://repository.link/library"

[plugins]
plugin_repository = "https://repository.link/plugin"

Tip: You can use default configuration file as template.

Paths to catalogs also can be specified in configuration file:

# ...
[catalogs]
androix_catalog = "./androidx.versions.toml"
kotlin_catalog = "./kotlin.versions.toml"

Important: Relative paths are resolved to the root directory of configuration.

And then you need specify only path to configuration:

kataloger -c ~/ProjectDir/project.configuration.toml

Or you can omit all parameters, then kataloger employs following logic to run:

• default.configuration.toml file in current working directory will be used as configuration file.
• Any file with .versions.toml extension found in the current directory or the gradle subdirectory (if it exists) is considered a catalog.

cd ~/ProjectDir
kataloger

If configuration file not provided and can't be found in current working directory kataloger will use default configuration with next repositories: Maven Central, Google Maven and Gradle Plugin Portal.

kataloger -p ~/ProjectDir/libs.versions.toml

CLI options

-p [path] or --path [path] — specifies path to gradle version catalog file. You can pass more than one version catalog path. If no path provided kataloger try to find version catalogs (files with extension .versions.toml) in current working directory.
-c [path] or --configuration [path] — specifies path to .toml file with repositories credentials where updates will be looked for. If no path provided kataloger try to find default repositories file with name default.configuration.toml in current working directory. If repositories can't be found in current directory kataloger use predefined set of repositories (Maven Central, Google and Gradle Plugin Portal).
-v or --verbose — if specified print more info to console.
-u or --suggest-unstable — if specified suggest artifact update from stable version to unstable.
-f or --fail-on-updates — if specified return non-zero exit code when at least one update found. Can be useful on CI.

Installation

Kataloger is available on the Python Package Index (PyPI) and also as a Docker container.

PyPI

To install kataloger using pip (requires Python 3.10 or later), run the following command:

pip install kataloger

Docker

Alternatively, you can run kataloger as a Docker container. The image is published on GitHub Container Registry (GHCR):

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)":/project --network=bridge ghcr.io/dzmpr/kataloger:latest

This command mounts the current working directory to the /project directory inside the container, connects the container to the default bridge network, and runs kataloger inside the container.

Use kataloger in python scripts

Kataloger has convenient API (I did my best), so you can write custom logic on top. More info about it can be found here.
