Expected Behavior

terraform version reports that The latest version is 1.7.3 but it upgrades unexpectedly to 1.7.4. It should either report that the latest version is 1.7.4 or upgrade to 1.7.3.

Actual Behavior

It upgrades to the different version then it reports

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform version
2. brew upgrade terraform

Additional Context

Probably I upgraded it in a wrong way. Probably here:

Your version of Terraform is out of date! The latest version
is 1.7.3. You can update by downloading from https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

you should extend this message with the command to use for the version upgrade, eg. use 'terraform upgrade' to upgrade bla-bla-bla.

Hi @EugenKon, are you still seeing this? I've checked this now, and I see the correct latest version being reported in the upgrade message. The v1.7.4 version was released recently, so I wonder if there may have been some caching happening somewhere in the network stack that was looking up the latest version. Or, there may have been some race between homebrew and the checkpoint service for reporting that reports the latest version in which homebrew published the latest version before checkpoint was publishing the new version number.

You upgraded the right way with a homebrew installation.

I'm going to close this, because the right version is being reported for me now and we were close enough to the new release point that there may have been some caching/racing affecting the upgrade message. But, if you are still seeing the wrong message with an earlier version now then we should reopen this and investigate.

Thanks!
