Updating Ibexa DXP to v3.3

Ibexa DXP v3.3 uses Symfony Flex. When updating from v3.2 to v3.3, you need to follow a special update procedure.

If you are updating from an earlier version, start with updating your installation to v3.2.

First, create an upgrade branch in git and commit your work.

If you have not done it before, add the relevant meta-repository as upstream remote:

1
git remote add upstream http://github.com/ezsystems/ezplatform.git

1
git remote add upstream http://github.com/ezsystems/ezplatform-ee.git

1
git remote add upstream http://github.com/ezsystems/ezcommerce.git

Tip

It is good practice to make git commits after every step of the update procedure.

Merge composer.json

Merge the special update branch into your project:

1
git pull upstream v3.2-to-v3.3-upgrade

This will introduce changes from the website skeleton and result in conflicts in composer.json.

Resolve the conflicts in the following way:

  • Make sure all automatically added ezsystems/* packages are removed. If you explicitly added any packages that are not part of the standard installation, retain them.
  • Review the rest of the packages. If your project requires a package, keep it.
  • If a package is only used as a dependency of an ezsystems package, remove it. You can check how the package is used with composer why <packageName>.
  • Keep the dependencies listed in the website skeleton.

Make sure extra.symfony.endpoint is set to https://flex.ibexa.co, and extra.symfony.require to 5.2.*:

1
2
"require": "5.2.*",
"endpoint": "https://flex.ibexa.co"

For all dependencies that you removed from composer.json, check if the bin folder contains files that will not be used and remove them, for example:

1
rm bin/{ezbehat,ezreport,phpunit,behat,fastest}

Add your Ibexa DXP edition to composer.json, for example:

1
composer require ibexa/experience:^3.3 --no-update

Caution

It is impossible to update an Enterprise edition (ezsystems/ezplatform-ee) to an Ibexa Content edition.

Update the app

Run composer update to update the dependencies:

1
composer update

If Composer informs you that the composer.lock file is out of date, run composer update again.

Update recipes for third party packages

Run composer recipes to get a list of all the available recipes.

For every recipe that needs updating, run:

1
composer sync-recipes <package_name> --force -v

Review changes from each package and integrate them into your project.

Install Ibexa recipes

Install recipes for Ibexa packages for your product edition, for example:

1
composer recipes:install ibexa/experience --force -v

Review the changes and add them to your project.

Then, run the post-installation command:

1
composer run post-install-cmd

Configure the web server

Add the following rewrite rule to your web server configuration:

1
RewriteRule ^/build/ - [L]

1
rewrite "^/build/(.*)" "/build/$1" break;

Update the database

Caution

Before starting this step, back up your database.

Apply the following database update script:

mysql -u <username> -p <password> <database_name> < upgrade/db/mysql/ezplatform-3.2.0-to-3.3.0.sql

psql <database_name> < upgrade/db/postgresql/ezplatform-3.2.0-to-3.3.0.sql

If you are updating from an installation based on the ezsystems/ezplatform-ee metarepository, run the following command to upgrade your database:

1
php bin/console ibexa:upgrade

Caution

You can only run this command once.

Check the Location ID of the "Components" Content item and set it as a value of the content_tree_module.contextual_tree_root_location_ids key in config/ezplatform.yaml:

1
- 60 # Components

If you are upgrading between Ibexa Commerce versions, add the content/read Policy with the Owner Limitation set to self to the "Ecommerce registered users" Role.

Finish the update

Finish the update by running the following commands:

1
2
php bin/console ibexa:graphql:generate-schema
composer run post-install-cmd
