Beta13 to Beta16 Upgrade

r4nchy

Here is what I did

disabled all the extensions except for the default ones
removed all abandoned extensions
followed the upgrade instructions on discuss.flarum.org/d/25181-flarum-010-beta14-released
followed the upgrade instructions on discuss.flarum.org/d/26451-flarum-010-beta16-rc-1-released

I am using composer.phar v2 in all the above command executions

Got the following output in the end.

but still, I am in beta.13

Ran php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar why-not flarum/core v0.1.0-beta.16 and it gave the following

Upgrading Flarum is real pain 🙁

Seems as the link in the announcement for version 16 is wrong but you need to do 14 -> 15 -> 16 - so you are missing the Update to Version 15!

If you could copy paste your composer.json that would be helpful. My guess at this time is that you likely have some extensions that are incompatible with being upgraded or that have changed namespaces.

r4nchy Given the shear number of extensions listed here I think it might be a good idea to try https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25246-extiverse-helper and see if that can at least tell you what extensions aren't compatible.

tankerkiller125

GreXXL With flarum you can generally skip to the latest version assuming that your extensions are up to date for the latest version. So this isn't the issue.

r4nchy

So should I try to remove all the extensions before trying to update and as GreXXl said go from .13 .14 .15to .16 ?

Also I found these extensions lying around in my database

"cleverloginname-autoimage-autovideo","clarkwinkelmann-catch-the-fish","wiwatsrt-best-answer"

tankerkiller125

r4nchy If the extensions listed by the helper are no longer maintained at all then I'd recommend removing them. However there are very likely some extensions listed that are maintained but simply haven't updated yet due to developer time constraints.

Generally speaking we recommend waiting about 1-2 weeks (or longer) before attempting an upgrade on complex forums due the the time that it takes developers to update community extensions.

askvortsov

r4nchy I wouldn't worry about the database: if they aren't installed, they won't be enabled.

Your biggest issue will be outdated / abandoned extensions. For example:

veroz1/users-list
the-turk/flarum-stargazing-theme
the-turk/flarum-ext-fancybox
studosi/mail-filter
aleksin/flarum-auth-google
franzl/flarum-open-links-in-new-tab
antoinefr/flarum-ext-online
datitisev/flarum-ext-dashboard

Anything starting with reflar
BBCode Alerts
Anything starting with kvothe

Many of these have replacements, some unfortunately do not. When you start, uninstall the above listed ones for now.

To be honest, my advice here would be to wait another week or two before trying to upgrade. The majority of your FoF extensions, for instance, haven't been updated yet (they will be).

r4nchy

So simply removing the outdated/abandoned extensions isn't enough ?

anyway I tried

maybe I should wait few more weeks
