Cli: `heroku update` doesn't update to the latest version

[deppy]

What is the current behavior?

We get a warning that there is a newer version of heroku cli, but running heroku update does not update to the version it thinks is available:

~ $ heroku update
 ›   Warning: heroku update available from 7.9.4 to 7.12.1

 ›   Error: Missing required flag:

What is the expected behavior?

Running heroku update should pick up version 7.12.1 and get rid of the warnings.

Seems to work fine on Mac but isn't the case on Ubuntu as can be seen by running:

docker run -it ubuntu sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get -y install curl && (curl https://cli-assets.heroku.com/install.sh | sh) && heroku --version

There was some maintenance last night that prevented us from releasing the CLI which caused this to happen. It shouldn't happen again.

I have the same issue with 7.12.3

$heroku update
› Warning: heroku update available from 7.12.3 to 7.15.1
heroku: Updating CLI... update with: "npm update -g heroku"
Updating completions... done

$ heroku --version
› Warning: heroku update available from 7.12.3 to 7.15.1

I also tried the recommended npm update -g heroku, but had the same issue

Have the same issue with 7.12.3
Tried reinstalling to no avail

I have the same issue on Windows. After installing the latest version I get:

Warning: heroku update available from 7.18.9 to 7.19.3
heroku/7.18.9 win32-x64 node-v11.1.0

Even though the installer clearly stated it was installing 7.19.3

I am trying to update Heroku CLI but it's not working.

$ heroku update 
 ›   Warning: update with: "npm update -g heroku"
heroku: Updating CLI... not updatable
Updating completions... done

@kerolloz I'm currently experiencing the same issue as you. Running the command npm update -g heroku doesn't seem to do anything. I keep receiving the same warning. Were you able to figure out how to get past the warning and update the Heroku CLI?

[kerolloz]

@rmushtaq21
I uninstalled Heroku CLI.
Reinstalled Heroku CLI using Snap, because I am using Ubuntu. (I think sudo apt-get install heroku will work as well). Take a look at downloading and installing for your OS.

Same problem from version 7.39.0 to 7.39.2, running heroku update doesn't work:

~$ heroku update
 ›   Warning: update with: snap refresh heroku
heroku: Updating CLI... not updatable
Updating completions... done

Initially installed heroku with snap, any ideas on what could be wrong?

[gmunizc]

I am currently having the exact same problem, @mredigonda
I also installed Heroku with snap...

[jdxcode]

https://snapcraft.io/heroku doesn't have 7.39.2. It's not an issue with your boxes.

Try ' npm update -g heroku'

Same issue here:

$ heroku login
 ›   Warning: heroku update available from 7.43.1 to 7.43.2.

```shell
$ heroku update
Updating completions... ⣟ [4/4] Building fresh packages...
Updating completions... done

However, **`heroku update` doesn't work**, the warning message shows again.

**I think the reason for this issue is that the update package file is not uploaded to the corresponding software repos**
**But the message reported is checking from another source(not the repo) which telling that heroku has new versions**

**So the solution for us users is to switch a way of installation or wait for the new release uploaded to the repo.**

For my case on Ubuntu:  heroku cli was installed via `snap install`, when I check the status of this package:

```shell
$ sudo snap list | grep heroku
heroku                           v7.43.1+git1.228d2d6            3987  latest/stable    heroku*       classic
$ sudo snap refresh --classic heroku
snap "heroku" has no updates available
$ sudo snap remove heroku
$ sudo snap install heroku --classic
heroku v7.43.1+git1.228d2d6 from Heroku✓ installed

A new reinstallation also installed v7.43.1.
And I checked https://snapcraft.io/heroku, there is no 7.43.2 available there.

Then, I switched to check npm install

$ sudo snap remove heroku
$ npm install -g heroku [email protected]     # I install an old version here
...
+ [email protected]
$ heroku
 ›   Warning: heroku update available from 7.43.1 to 7.43.2.
CLI to interact with Heroku
$ heroku update
Updating completions... ⣟ [4/4] Building fresh packages...
Updating completions... done
$ heroku
 ›   Warning: heroku update available from 7.43.1 to 7.43.2.

It still reported warning message when I type heroku.

This means that heroku update command has issues for heroku npm package as well.

$ npm install -g heroku@latest   # install the latest version 

And this will fix if you install it with npm(and node). or try npm update -g heroku mentiond by mpofukelvintafadzwa.

heroku update does not work. Neither does sudo apt update && sudo apt install heroku.

I am on 7.43.1 while the avialable update is 7.43.3.

Does the update really matter?

Having the warning go away would be nice, though.

It should work for you with the following command:
heroku config:set APP_KEY=the_key -a your_app_name
