I am using Visual Studio 2013 Node.js Tools for Visual Studio.
I would like to update protractor to this:
https://www.npmjs.org/package/protractor
Under npm in Visual Studio I see it shows I have the [email protected] module. When I right click on this and select
update npm module
It goes to
https://registry.npmjs.org/protractor
When I enter that in my URL it shows on the the first line 1.0.0-rc2 as the latest version:
https://registry.npmjs.org/protractor
{"_id":"protractor","_rev":"103-dc957e08fce862ad70c481b4a2327ee6",
"name":"protractor","description":"Webdriver E2E test wrapper for Angular.",
"dist-tags":{"latest":"1.0.0-rc2"},
"versions":{"0.1.0":{"name":"protractor",
"description":"End to End test helpers for Angular.",
"homepage":"https://github.com/juliemr/protractor","keywords":
In the output window it shows the update:

====npm command completed with exit code 0====
What I would like to know is if the first line shows 1.0.0-rc2 as the latest version then why does it still show protractor 0.24.2 as the one that it downloaded after the update?
The "npm update" command doesn't actually upgrade packages unconditionally. It simply upgrades packages to the maximum allowed semver as noted in the package.json file for your dependencies and their sub dependencies. To actually upgrade to a newer version you have two options:
Use "npm install" and specify the version to install. You can use the "latest" tag to specify the latest version without having to look it up. Use the "--save" flag to have npm edit your package.json file and update to the new version.
npm install protractor@latest --save
Edit the package.json and find the line with "protractor": "0.24.2" and change the version to "1.0.0-rc2" (or whichever version you want). Then you can run "npm update" or "npm install" after you have changed and saved the file.
