poetry update --latest (w/ ignoring current pinning)

Issue

I've tried to search both documentation, issues and Web, but haven't found a solution for use case of "please update this package to newest version without reading current pinning in pyproject.toml". This is something I do quite often and so far I haven't found a clean way of doing it with Poetry.

For example: I currently have django = "^2.0.0" in my pyproject.toml but I'd like to upgrade that to the very latest version (3.0.2). I can of course change the pinning by hand to pyproject.toml but what if I want to upgrade my whole project to latest everything (every package)? What I'd like to is something like poetry update --latest

Is there currently a way to do this without too much manual work (for one or many packages)?

I'd also prefer to have a more intuitive way of updating packages to the latest version. Right now, to update packages, I run this command, which seems to work fine (although it's not as clear as using a command called 'update'):
poetry add PACKAGE_NAME@latest

@AndreCNF Thanks! It works like a charm! If that were documented somewhere, it'd be enough for me.

I do notice that using this will change your version specification a bit. For example, if you have

Flask = "1.1.1"

and then do poetry add PACKAGE_NAME@latest, it will change it to:

Flask = "^1.1.2"

@Garrett-R That seems normal. What else were you expecting?

Hello,

the poetry add PACKAGE_NAME@latest syntax is mentioned in the docs. A command to upgrade all packages to the latest version is already requested in #461

@sinoroc I was expecting it to not add the caret. I started an issue here.

I recently created a Python3 script to update all Poetry packages to their latest version while preserving extras and dependency groups. Check it out here

Isn't it faster to delete the poetry.lock file and the environment and recreate them from scratch? Poetry would normally get the latest, unless there is a reason not to (the lock file being one of those possible reasons).
