Upgrading Nuxt gradually

Ciao! we are working with a pretty sizeable application and we lagged behind with updates, as we are currently at version

3.5.4

3.5.4

If we run

npx nuxi upgrade

npx nuxi upgrade

we have too much stuff breaking at once (unit tests, imports, playwright, etc) so we would like to upgrade a version or two at a time, but I don't see anything in the cli docs to handle that. For example, can I just run

npm install nuxt@3.6.2

npm install nuxt@3.6.2

?

Thanks!

What about setting the Nuxt's version directly through in the

package.json

package.json

and then

npm install

npm install

instead of ? You can handle then specific versions.

Yes, you can upgrade incrementally. However, to mimic nuxi upgrade, you just need to nuke node_modules and package lock file each time to ensure underlying dependencies are updated adequately.

I would also increment minor versions. Patch versions don’t really do much other than often fix problems that you might encounter in another patch version.
