Mechanism to force the update of dependencies #2390

Open danicheg opened 3 years ago

danicheg commented 3 years ago

This issue is a kind of help-wanted or feature-request, rather than a signal of some problems with Steward itself. Is any mechanism for forcing updating dependencies in the project, not to wait when Steward will do it in their schedule? On one hand, that mechanism is exactly thin ice. From others, we currently have cases when Steward updates dependency in one branch and not in others (like https://github.com/http4s/http4s/pull/5621). Probably, that should be a part of premium support 😄

Scala Steward is a batch program and there is currently no way to influence its schedule. Maybe some day it will be a long-running server application where it would be possible to support this request.
