How to update Drupal Core ?

[SebastienGicquel]

Hello,

I'm using this template for the 1st time.

I wanted to update (actually Drupal core 9.0.10) and need to update to 9.1.0 (2020-Dec-02) and 9.1.0-rc3 (2020-Nov-26).

I've ran composer update drupal/core-recommended drupal/core-dev --with-dependencies to update Drupal Core and its dependencies.

But I still see the pending update in UI after.

Here is what I have in terminal

$ composer update drupal/core-recommended drupal/core-dev --with-dependencies
> DrupalProject\composer\ScriptHandler::checkComposerVersion

Package phpunit/php-token-stream is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested. 

Do I need to run "composer update " also ? Is it a bug or Did I miss something ?

Can you maybe add you composer.json and reopen the issue if you not already figured it out yourself? Maybe also try composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-dependencies next time.

[SebastienGicquel]

@leymannx Thanks, I didn't figure it out.

So composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-dependencies solved my issue.

@leymannx Here is my composer.json after update 👍

[leymannx]

So you now updated successfully?

[SebastienGicquel]

@leymannx yes I've updated successfully with the command you gave me but don't understand why the command that is in the doc composer update drupal/core-recommended drupal/core-dev --with-dependencies doesn't work.

Do you see something wrong in my composer.json ?

[leymannx]

Nothing wrong, but there's also the drupal/core-composer-scaffold dependency. Maybe this one prevented the update. With the wildcard in the command I gave you, we pick this up as well. I think I'll update the docs on that now.

[robertkent-ws]

This doesn't work for me. I have a 9.2.8 site installed. The command composer update "drupal/core-*" --with-dependencies runs without errors, but instead of updating to 9.3.11 my site remains on 9.2.8.

Update
Ok, fixed with composer update drupal/core "drupal/core-*" --with-dependencies
Running updatedb threw a core error for me after that but there is a patch here: https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/2957376
