What are the magic words to make an update from beta5 to beta6?

Hello
Following the announcement of Christian Müller,
I installed the new Beta 6 on Ubuntu Linux Plesk server without any problems ! …
This is the first time that the installation proceeds without any warning …
Thanks Neos team ! …

To experiment,
I would like to know the procedure to make an update from Beta5 to Beta 6 …

I read other versions :

call update --no-dev "typo3 / *"
Remember to flush the caches Afterwards
./flow flow: cache: flush --force
./flow doctrine: migrate

merci by advance

Hi Jean Claude,

the Beta-Versions ship with a composer.json in the Neos root folder that contains specific versions for e.g. 2.0.0-beta5.For updating to beta 6 you need to:

  1. replace all occurrences of beta5 with beta6 in the root composer.json
  2. run composer update to update all dependencies to the newest version
  3. run ./flow doctrine:migrate for adjustments to the database schema
  4. flushing the cache ./flow flow:cache:flush --force doesn’t hurt but is not strictly needed

Hi Christopher,

thank you very much for your explanations …
If I did not answer immediately, it is because I tried and I could not run the “composer update” because I had installed it in the “httpdocs” … So I re install ‘composer’ in the " httpdocs / Neos-beta5/ " after what I could do “php composer.phar update” …
I then made what you advised me “./flow doctrine: migrate” I did that with “closed eyes” without knowing exactly what the “migrate” would do (I still do not know everything but … it will come …), and then I did “./flow flow: cache: flush --force”

the operation was successful …
but, in my project … all I had done was in French …
I soon realized there were a lot of important points that have changed in the Neos code …
Of course, I understand that these changes are important for sites with multi language,
but I had not read anything before this migration …
So, before this migration, we must be very careful with all these changes
… and I am French … it’s a bit more complicated to understand everything …
But, I’m lucky that the team Neos is kind enough to answer
the questions of an old man who wants to stay young :slight_smile:
Thank’s very much
