Update from 6.1.x to 6.2.0

This page describes how you can update from OXID eShop version 6.1.x to 6.2.0. If you want to update to any other version, please switch to the appropriate version of the documentation.

Depending on your existing OXID eShop installation, you need to perform one or more of the following actions:

1. Composer update

  1. Please edit your root composer.json file by updating contents of require and require-dev nodes:

    {
    "require": {
        "oxid-esales/oxideshop-metapackage-ce": "v6.2.0"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "oxid-esales/testing-library": "^v7.0.1",
        "incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "^v2.0.0",
        "oxid-esales/oxideshop-ide-helper": "^v3.1.2",
        "oxid-esales/azure-theme": "^v1.4.2"
    },
}

    Example: updated values for OXID eShop CE v6.2.0

    Adapt the metapackage according to your edition.

    Note

    New version of testing-library requires php-zip extension. You might need to install it to be able to update OXID eShop from oxvm_eshop.

  2. Clean up the tmp folder

    rm -rf source/tmp/*

  3. For updating dependencies (necessary to update all libraries), in the project folder run:

    composer update --no-plugins --no-scripts

  4. Copy the file overridablefunctions.php from the vendor directory to the OXID eShop source directory:

    cp vendor/oxid-esales/oxideshop-ce/source/overridablefunctions.php source/

  5. For executing all necessary scripts to actually gather the new compilation, in the project folder run:

    composer update #(You will be prompted whether to overwrite existing code for several components. The default value is N [no] but of course you should take care to reply with y [yes].)

    Important

    Composer will ask you to overwrite module and theme files. E.g.: “Update operation will overwrite oepaypal files in the directory source/modules. Do you want to overwrite them? (y/N)” If you include modules by "type": "path", in your composer.json file like described in Best practice module setup, answer No to this question..

  6. For executing possible database migrations, in the project folder run:

    vendor/bin/oe-eshop-db_migrate migrations:migrate

2. Update of the module configurations

The outcome of the following steps is that you are able to configure, activate and deactivate your current modules again. Therefore the new module configuration .yaml files need to be synchronized with the configuration and activation status of your current modules. Read here for background information.

  1. Install the update component via composer:

    composer require --no-interaction oxid-esales/oxideshop-update-component:"^1.0"

  2. Clean up the tmp folder

    rm -rf source/tmp/*

  3. Install a default configuration for all modules which are currently inside the directory source/modules. On the command line, execute the console command:

    vendor/bin/oe-console oe:oxideshop-update-component:install-all-modules

  4. Transfer the existing configuration (module setting values, class extension chain, which modules are active) from the database to the .yaml configuration files.

    vendor/bin/oe-console oe:oxideshop-update-component:transfer-module-data

  5. Remove modules data which already presents the yaml files from the database to avoid duplications and errors during the module activation.

    vendor/bin/oe-console oe:oxideshop-update-component:delete-module-data-from-database

    After this step, modules data should be removed from the database so modules functionality should not work anymore.

  6. Activate all configured modules which were previously active . On the command line, execute the console command:

    vendor/bin/oe-console oe:module:apply-configuration

    After this step, all modules which were previously active, should be active and have the correct configuration set.

  7. Uninstall the update component via composer

3. Remove old files

There is a list of files that are not used anymore by OXID eShop, and those files can be removed manually. If you are not using them, its recommended to remove listed files.

Troubleshooting

  • Error message: `Module directory of ModuleX could not be installed due to The variable $sMetadataVersion must be present in ModuleX/metadata.php and it must be a scalar.`
    • Up to OXID eShop 6.1, modules without a metadata version in the file metadata.php were accepted. OXID eShop 6.2 requires to set a metadata version in ModuleX metadata.php.
  • Error message `The metadata key constrains is not supported in metadata version 2.0.`
    • Up to OXID eShop 6.1, the array keys constraints and constrains were accepted in the file metadata.php. OXID eShop 6.2 only allows the key constraints. Please refer to the metadata documentation of settings.
  • The extension chain in the OXID eShop admin in Extension ‣ Modules ‣ Installed Shop Modules is partly highlighted red and crossed out.
    • This must not be an error. Up to OXID eShop 6.1, only extensions of active modules were shown. OXID eShop 6.2 shows extensions of all installed modules (active and inactive). If a module is inactive, the extensions of this module are highlighted red and crossed out. This new behavior means, you can configure the extension chain of modules which are not activated yet.
