Known Issues

For known issues head over to our known enablement issues page that covers eZ Platform and eZ Studio.

However here are two issues that were uncovered very late in the release process since they were hidden by other bugs that we would like to make you especially aware of:

• EZP-25789 - Editors access to own user and read all user meta info for author field type Backlog
• EZP-25505 - UserHash is always generated for anonymous user Backlog

Both are currently being worked on and will be fixed in patch version in the next couple of weeks.

Upgrading a 15.12.1 Studio project

You can easily upgrade your existing Studio project in version 15.12.1 (1.1.0) using Composer.

Start from the project root. First, create a new branch from:

a) your master project branch, or 

b) the branch you are upgrading on:

In case of different localization of the sources, add ezsystems/ezstudio as an upstream remote:

Then pull the tag into your branch:

You will get conflicts, and it is perfectly normal. The most common ones will be on composer.json and composer.lock.

The latter can be ignored, as it will be regenerated when we execute composer update later. The easiest is to checkout the version from the tag, and add it to the changes:

Merging composer.json

Manual merging

Conflicts in composer.json need to be fixed manually. If you're not familiar with the diff output, you may checkout the tag's version, and inspect the changes. It should be readable for most:

You should see what was changed, as compared to your own version, in the diff output. This update changes the requirements for all of the ezsystems/ packages. Those changes should be left untouched. All of the other changes will be removals of what you added for your own project. Use git checkout -p to selectively cancel those changes:

Answer no (do not discard) to the requirement changes of ezsystems dependencies. Answer yes (discard) to removals of your changes.

Once you are done, inspect the file, either using an editor or by running git diff composer.json. You may also test the file's sanity with composer validate, and test the dependencies by running composer update --dry-run. (will output what it would do to dependencies, without applying the changes.

Once finished, run git add composer.json.

Fixing other conflicts (if any)

Depending on the local changes you have done, you may get other conflicts: configuration files, kernel... 

There shouldn't be many, and you should be able to figure out which value is the right one for all of them:

• Edit the file, and identify the conflicting changes. If a setting you have modified has also been changed by us, you should be able to figure out which value is the right one.
• Run git add conflicting-file to add the changes

Updating

At this point, you should have a composer.json file with the correct requirements. Run composer update to update the dependencies. 

Database update

The 16.02 release requires an update to the database. Import vendor/ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel/data/update/mysql/dbupdate-6.1.0-to-6.2.0.sql into your database:

To enable the new Flex workflow notification feature, import the following file:

Dump assets

The web assets must be dumped again for the prod environment:

Commit, test and merge

Once all the conflicts have been resolved, and composer.lock updated, the merge can be committed. Note that you may or may not keep composer.lock, depending on your version management workflow. If you do not wish to keep it, run git reset HEAD <file> to remove it from the changes. Run git commit, and adapt the message if necessary. You can now test the project, run integration tests... once the upgrade has been approved, go back to master, and merge the upgrade-1.2.0 branch:
