Feature request: add skip argument to upgrade-all command

See original GitHub issue

Hi! I’ve recently discovered that running pipx upgrade on a particular package breaks the symlink. To reproduce:

Install unimatrix with

pipx install unimatrix --spec git+https://github.com/will8211/unimatrix --verbose

Check that unimatrix binary is correctly symlinked (for instance with which unimatrix)
Run pipx upgrade unimatrix -> for some reason pipx this upgrades unimatrix to 0.1 which isn’t a tagged release
Now try running unimatrix or which unimatrix: it doesn’t work since the symlink seems to be broken.

Please let me know if you can reproduce. Thanks!

So in the end I guess the solution is to implement the skip argument? I’ll change the title of this issue to reflect that.

Yup that is the fix. (An alternate fix is to store a mapping of --spec to pipx-installed packages, but I am hesitant to add that)

Also I noticed in your above command that you didn’t pass the spec argument to the upgrade command.

Fixed in my previous comment; still the same output

Running “pip install -U” on the package would test if pip can’t do it. If pip can’t do it then it’s not a bug in pipx. If it can, then it is a bug in pipx.

Running ./pip install -U unimatrix from within the venv also updates the package so it seems to be a problem with pip then which believe the 0.1 to supersede the 0.1.dev version.

Anyways I can leave the issue open and change the title if you are willing to add the ignore flag to the upgrade-all command
