Flutter Pubspec Version Checker

This Python script helps Flutter developers keep their projects up-to-date by checking if the packages listed in the pubspec.yaml file are using the latest available versions from pub.dev.

Features

  • Parses pubspec.yaml files
  • Fetches the latest version information from pub.dev
  • Compares current package versions with the latest available versions
  • Identifies and reports outdated packages
  • Skips git repository dependencies and other complex dependencies
  • Provides clear output of packages that need updating

Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • pyyaml
  • requests
  • packaging

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/hareendranmg/flutter_pubspec_version_checker.git
cd flutter_pubspec_version_checker

  2. Install the required packages:

    pip install pyyaml requests packaging

Usage

Run the script from the command line, providing the path to your pubspec.yaml file as an argument:

python main.py path/to/your/pubspec.yaml

The script will output a list of outdated packages along with their current and latest versions.

Example Output

Outdated packages:
http: 0.13.3 -> 0.13.4
intl: 0.17.0 -> 0.17.1

Limitations

  • The script only checks direct dependencies listed in the pubspec.yaml file.
  • It does not check transitive dependencies or dev_dependencies.
  • The script may be subject to rate limiting if too many requests are made to pub.dev in a short period.
