The installed version of Adafruit_ST7735_and_ST7789_Library is 1.5.18 and no newer version is listed under "Available".

Expected behavior

As of now, the library index contains the version 1.6.0 of Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library, so I would expect it to be listed.

This is correctly reflected in the IDE:

Environment

• CLI version (output of arduino-cli version): 0.13.0 Commit: 693a045
• OS and platform: macOS 10.15.4

Upgrading the library works though:

Please note that I supplied the spaced library name to arduino-cli lib install (Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library) instead of the underscored library name that I see in arduino-cli lib list (Adafruit_ST7735_and_ST7789_Library). By the way, this underscored library name does not reflect any field of the library index so it could be a good idea to document clearly what is a valid "library name" for the arduino-cli commands (maybe worth opening a separate issue).

I can confirm this is a problem on Windows 10 on cli version 0.14.0. I also suspect spaces in the "real name" of the library to play a role in this. But running install instead of upgrade has the result of the latest version being installed.

[ubidefeo]

@paulsiersma
when you have spaces in the library name you need to enclose the name in quotes, and it needs to be the exact name (not sure about the casing)

[paulsiersma]

@ubidefeo Thank for your comment, but the arduino-cli lib upgrade command should upgrade all installed libs to latest available versions. That's not working (the newer version is not even listed as being available), and that's what this Issue is about.

[ubidefeo]

@paulsiersma
in order to show the latest library version an update is required.
When you run operations such as core and library search the index files are updated and new versions of libraries and cores become available through each index.
If you simply run arduino-cli lib upgrade "Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789 Library" (assuming you have an older version) then the CLI will download the index for libraries, detect if there's a new one and install it if there is.
It seems very strange that it doesn't happen if a new version is available.

@alranel mentions he used the spaced name which is correct, search happens against the name string in the library.properties but the lib list command lists the folder names instead.
This might be a misbehaviour requiring an adjustment.

I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, but maybe it's Windows only

[josefwegner]

I can easily reproduce this issue on Raspberry OS (Debian Buster):

1. Use Arduino IDE's "Manage Libraries..." to downgrade a library with space and one without a space in its real_name. I chose "Adafruit NeoPixel" and "WiFiNINA".
2. Close Arduino IDE
3. Run arduino-cli update:

4. Run arduino-cli lib list:

$ arduino-cli lib list                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Name              Installed Available Location              Description

Arduino-cli shows only for WiFiNINA that a new version is available.
