i'm not sure what im meant to be looking at in the link.

is this the go-to source for updating/upgrading a clean installation of drupal from 8.n to 8.n+1?

the official upgrade docuementation implies 3 commands. does it need to be amended?

im still none the wiser how to update 8.4.4 to 8.5.3?

thanks

#2867757: Improve instructions for updating composer.json and /vendor is the effort to clear this up. It is related to some issues that probably make this one a duplicate, such as #2943546: composer fail to upgrade from 8.4.4 to 8.5.0-alpha1.

i'm not sure its a duplicate. my issue is "the three line instructions for updating a drupal site doesn't work". In the interests of simplicity I would hope this can stay open.

The doc page you referenced has its own discussion thread, but certainly that needs fixing if it doesn't work!

#2943546: composer fail to upgrade from 8.4.4 to 8.5.0-alpha1 will probably answer the immediate problem for you. As for the doc page, I think that needs discussing there. #2867757: Improve instructions for updating composer.json and /vendor will be a commit to Drupal core that will contain proper instructions. Of course, the two should match, but I don't think we need another issue for it.
