Update OctoPrint plugins via cli?

Get Help
1

Hi, I'm trying to update OctoPrint plugins via cli, in webui I get a notification that there are plugins that need to be updated but pip command says that they are already updated, why?

Update Available
There are updates available for the following components:

    DisplayLayerProgress Plugin: V1.23.3
    OctoPod Plugin: 0.2.7
    Print Time Genius Plugin

pip doesn't see any updated, why?

./oprint/bin/pip install -U OctoPrint-OctoPod
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already up-to-date: OctoPrint-OctoPod in ./oprint/lib/python3.7/site-packages (0.2.6)

Documentation page needs to have information how to update plugins via cli, currently this information is missing:
https://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/features/plugins.html

3

Because the plugins aren't on PyPi and pip doesn't know a thing about the OctoPrint plugin repository.

https://docs.octoprint.org/en/master/bundledplugins/softwareupdate.html#command-line-usage

I have run this command:

./oprint/bin/octoprint plugins softwareupdate:update

It showed me this message:

It stayed at this message for over an hour and nothing happened, it didn't continue or error out, just sat there... I was patient and left second time for two hours, again nothing happened.

What is going on?

I cannot possibly tell you without logs.

Now that I go to webui I can see that all plugins have been updated. I was expecting some progress of plugins being updated in cli output, but it seams like they all have been updated but nothing was being reported in the cli. Is this normal behaviour ?

Here are logs - https://paste.sh/7iSyiMz2#scx1mPWsqUUYTzWKanyXNHU3

No, there should have been progress reports, but I think I know why there weren't. That uses the push socket, and I forgot to update the CLI to accommodate the stricter security on that since a couple versions. Shows you how little this feature gets used. Will look into fixing that for 1.5.0.

This should be fixed in 1.5.0 thanks to
