Trying to update Bench on my site. i was unable to do it via CLI so i installed the Bench Manager on my site. The Error Message is as follows:

Hi,

Is this the first time an update has been attempted or were prior updates successful?

What was the cli command that failed and with what result?

What does: bench version return?

Try updating frappe-bench: sudo pip3 install frappe-bench --upgrade

Then navigate to your frappe folder/apps and in each of the app folders try git status and git pull to see if one of the apps is causing the issue. If they all complete without error try bench update --reset.

You legend! So it was an issue when i followed:

As the setup specific a specific version, not a branch, that was causing the issues.

Completely forgot about git status so thankyou very much for reminding me!
