Important

This module has a specific Release Process. If you do release a new version, make sure to follow it.

Branches

Branch develop contains code for future versions of the module, which allow upgrades from 1.7.x versions to higher.

Branch 4.14.x contains code for 4.14.x patch versions which allow upgrading from 1.6.x versions to 1.7.x .

If you wish to upgrade a shop powered by PrestaShop 1.6, please use the latest 4.14.3 version to upgrade to a 1.7 version. Upgrades from 1.6.x to 8.x should be done in 2 steps (1.6.x to 1.7.x then 1.7.x to 8.x).

Please note PrestaShop 1.6 and older are not maintained anymore.

• PHP >= 7.1
• Node.js >= 20 - Download Node.js (preference for LTS 20.11.0)

Installation

All versions can be found in the releases list.

Create a module from source code

If you download a ZIP archive that contains the source code or if you want to use the current state of the code, you need to build the module from the sources:

• Clone (git clone https://github.com/PrestaShop/autoupgrade.git) or download the source code. You can also download a release Source code (ex. v4.14.2). If you download a source code archive, you need to extract the file and rename the extracted folder to autoupgrade
• Enter into folder autoupgrade and run the command composer install (composer).
• Enter into folder autoupgrade/_dev and run the commands npm install and npm run build:vite (npm).
• Create a new ZIP archive from the of autoupgrade folder.
• Now you can install it in your shop. For example, you can upload it using the dropzone in Module Manager back office page.

Running an upgrade on PrestaShop

Upgrading a shop can be done using:

• the configuration page of the module (browse the back office page provided by the module)
• in command line by calling bin/console

Command line parameters

This module provide a powerful command-line interface based on Symfony Console, allowing you to execute various commands to manage your store. You can use this interface to perform updates, rollbacks, and check system requirements.

To use the Symfony Console, simply run the following command from the root directory of autoupgrade module:

$ php bin/console

The requirements can be reviewed to confirm the shop is safe to update:

$ php bin/console update:check <your-admin-dir>

A backup of the shop is created with:

$ php bin/console backup:create --config-file-path=[/path/to/config.json] <your-admin-dir>

The update process can be launched with:

$ php bin/console update:start --config-file-path=[/path/to/config.json] --chain <your-admin-dir>

You can see all available parameters and options directly from the console by using the --help option with any command.

For more information on using commands, please refer to the PrestaShop developer documentation

Configuration file

For the proper functioning of the update process via the console, it is necessary to provide a configuration file in JSON format.

Here is an example of the different fields that can be found in it:

  "channel": "local", // see https://devdocs.prestashop-project.org/8/basics/keeping-up-to-date/upgrade-module/channels/
  "archive_zip": "prestashop_8.0.0.zip", // Name of the zip file, specific to the archive channel, to be placed in the [your-admin-dir]/autoupgrade/download folder
  "archive_xml": "prestashop_8.0.0.xml", // Name of the XML file, specific to the archive channel, to be placed in the [your-admin-dir]/autoupgrade/download folder
  "archive_num": "8.0.0", // Release number, specific to the archive channel
  "PS_AUTOUP_CUSTOM_MOD_DESACT": 1, // Disable non-native modules
  "PS_AUTOUP_CHANGE_DEFAULT_THEME": 0, // Keep the current theme
