Is there a command for Drupal 8.x that shows available updates?

I added forms_steps 1.1 that has and SA and a security update required in the Web UI which is saying to update to 1.2

Web UI showing the there is a security update required

I tried drush pm:security but it reports that there is no outstanding security.

root@d568732a8640:/app# drush pm:security
 [success] There are no outstanding security updates for Drupal projects.

I might have overestimated the capability of this command so I'm looking for alternatives to get both update and security update in the console. My goal with this is to add a schedule job in our CI that will report on those.

  • Drupal's core module "Update" sends you reports out of the box. You can configure it to send an email to given email addresses when a security update is available. Just ensure Drupal's cron runs regularly. That's all. – leymannx Sep 20 at 19:28
  • Maybe include the link to the issue you created on GitHub for reference: github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/4189 – leymannx Sep 20 at 19:34
  • Thanks for linking the issue. Two things; one I'm not sure it's an issue so I opened this discussion here to look for alternatives and two I'm looking for something that can report in a CI project without requiring a live site. – Eric B. Sep 23 at 12:08
  • And letting your CI site send mails? – leymannx Sep 23 at 13:33
  • We are aiming small for now as a first step we just want to create a badge in our project with the numbers of update, green 0 update, yellow 1 or more updates, red when 1 update or more is a security update. The badge would also link to the report. After this we might want to automate the creation of a ticket in gitlab and eventually with an MR ready to review. – Eric B. Sep 23 at 14:31

drush pm:security should be fine in listing Drupal modules with security updates.

There was a bug from the drupal-composer/drupal-security-advisories project that resulted in not listing the forms_steps module and some other modules. It was promptly fixed and now it works!
