kataloger 0.3.0

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 if configuration file or catalogs are located in current working directory. In this mode kataloger trying to find all catalogs (files with .versions.toml extension) and configuration in default.configuration.toml file in current directory:

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 available in Python Package Index (PyPI). You can install kataloger using pip (requires python 3.8 and greater):

pip install kataloger

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.
