Unable to update nuclei templates via CLI

[aravindb26]

Nuclei version:

Nuclei Engine Version: v3.1.10

Current Behavior:

Unable to update nuclei templates via CLI
command used: nuclei --update-templates --silent

Expected Behavior:

It should update all new templates added in the repo as soon as we use nuclei --update-templates --silent command

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Use nuclei --update-templates --silent to update for any new templates added

2. But still we can't find newly updated templates in the repo

Anything else:

@aravindb26 that template in particular was merged only a few hours ago, and thus isn't included yet in the default nuclei templates but will be in the next release of nuclei-templates.

So it will be updated only if you release it officially?

Yes - when an official release of templates is cut that is when nuclei automatically updates with them. See "Templates exist on GitHub but are not running with Nuclei?" for more info: https://docs.projectdiscovery.io/templates/faq
