Zowe CLI --version command does not display Release Version

Products

• Zowe

Issue/Introduction

When running the zowe --version command, the output displays the NPM package version (e.g., 7.XX.XX) instead of the expected Zowe Release version (e.g., v2.XX.X). 

Environment

 

• Product: Zowe CLI

• Version: v2.x

 

Resolution

Solution 1: Update Zowe CLI to v3 (zowe-v3-lts).

The ability to report the Zowe Release version is a feature natively available in newer releases. By upgrading to Zowe v3, you can use the following command to get the exact version needed for security audits:

• Command: zowe --version

• Result: The output will contain a "zoweVersion" field (e.g., "v3.4.1") which explicitly confirms the Zowe Release.
