sbt plug-in updates does not work

[zafarella]

The plug-in is really handy, however, for some reason it does not provide me the plug-in updates. Did you guys ever encountered any similar issue?

addSbtPlugin("com.timushev.sbt" % "sbt-updates" % "0.3.4")

sbt.version=1.0.4

scalaVersion := "2.12.7",

Unfortunately, dependencyUpdates for plugins works only if you have sbt-updates configured globally in ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/sbt-updates.sbt, is it the case? You can also check discussions in #10.

[zafarella]

I just need add ~/.sbt/1.0/plugins/sbt-updates.sbt with

addSbtPlugin("com.timushev.sbt" % "sbt-updates" % "0.3.4")

?

[rtimush]

@zafarella Yes, this should solve the issue.
