Magento2 Upgrade – How to Update Using Composer

composermagento2upgrade

I can't seem to be able to update my magento2 ce using composer. I doesn't find any updates, the only one it found was 'fabpot'.

I thought this was the whole point of a composer setup, so why would I want to use the backend as explained in the documentation: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/comp-mgr/upgrader/upgrade-start.html

Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

EDIT:

I followed the official documentation to install Magento2 via composer, as described here: http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/install-gde/prereq/integrator_install.html#integrator-first-composer-ce

The problem is that the composer.json file that is pulled using the command:
composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition <installation directory name> defined magento under the required section of the .json:

"require": {
    "magento/product-community-edition": "2.0.0",
    "composer/composer": "@alpha",
    "firegento/magesetup2": "dev-develop",
    "splendid/de_de": "^0.0.1"
},

As you can see, version 2.0.0 is specified.

For the update to work, I had to manually change that line in the .json file as follows:

 "magento/product-community-edition": "2.*",

Now running composer update updated all modules from version 100.0.2 to 100.0.3.

Please note that this still throws an error exception because of the following:

[ErrorException]                             
  Source /home/dev/git/mysite/vendor/magento/magento2-base/app/design/frontend/Magento does not exist

Now it seems quite a few essential are missing, for example the bin/magento file.

Anyone got any ideas how it is done correctly so it actually works?

Edit the composer.json file on root folder and change the version of magento in line 5:

"version": "2.0.1",

and under "require"

"require": {
"magento/product-community-edition": "2.0.1",

Now run:

composer update

Then run:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

And finally re-deploy the static files, which for me is this command:

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy de_DE en_US

That worked for me.

Magento – Magento 2 Component manager (extension installation)

The functionality described in the document was released after Magento 2 Merchant Beta release.

If you try to install from the development branch on github, you should see the Component Management UI. However, it won't be possible to use all its features before Magento sources will be published to the Composer repository. That will happen during GA release.

Magento 2 – How to Update from 2.0.0 to 2.0.2

Updating/Upgrading to Magento 2.0.2 (via composer)

php bin/magento maintenance:enable
composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.0.2 --no-update
composer update
rm -rf var/di var/generation
php bin/magento cache:flush
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento maintenance:disable

After upgrade, check your Magento version with the following command:

php bin/magento --version

Upgrading to Magento 2.3.x

The above commands work fine while upgrading Magento to 2.2.x.

To upgrade to Magento 2.3.x, you need to follow some more steps.

Here's the step-by-step guide to upgrade Magento to 2.3.x:

Enable maintenance mode

php bin/magento maintenance:enable

Specify Magento packages

composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.3.0 --no-update

Specify additional packages

composer require --dev phpunit/phpunit:~6.2.0 friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer:~2.10.1 lusitanian/oauth:~0.8.10 pdepend/pdepend:2.5.2 sebastian/phpcpd:~3.0.0 squizlabs/php_codesniffer:3.2.2 --no-update

Remove unused packages

composer remove --dev sjparkinson/static-review fabpot/php-cs-fixer --no-update

Update autoload

Open composer.json and edit the "autoload": "psr-4" section to include "Zend\\Mvc\\Controller\\": "setup/src/Zend/Mvc/Controller/":

"autoload": {
    "psr-4": {
        "Magento\\Framework\\": "lib/internal/Magento/Framework/",
        "Magento\\Setup\\": "setup/src/Magento/Setup/",
        "Magento\\": "app/code/Magento/",
        "Zend\\Mvc\\Controller\\": "setup/src/Zend/Mvc/Controller/"
    },
    ...
}

Apply updates

composer update

Clean the Magento cache

php bin/magento cache:clean

Manually clear caches and generated content

Clear the var and generated subdirectories:

rm -rf <Magento install dir>/var/cache/*
rm -rf <Magento install dir>/var/page_cache/*
rm -rf <Magento install dir>/generated/code/*

or Single Line

rm -rf var/cache/* generated/code/* var/view_preprocessed/* var/page_cache/* var/report/* pub/static/frontend/* pub/static/adminhtml/* pub/static/_cache/merged/*

If you use a cache storage other than the filesystem, such as Redis or Memcached, you must manually clear the cache there too.

Update the database schema and data

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Disable maintenance mode

php bin/magento maintenance:disable

Finally, check your Magento version

php bin/magento --version
