Upgrading To 6.x from 5.x

The Easiest way to upgrade

For your convenience, we have created an operations:upgrade console command:

            composer remove dragon-code/laravel-actions
            composer require dragon-code/laravel-deploy-operations:^6.0
            
            php artisan operations:upgrade
            php artisan migrate
        

It will do the following:

Changing the old namespace of “actions” to a new one
Moves files to a new location
Updates the configuration file
Rename the stub file (if published)

Please note that the script allows you to automate most of the actions, but may not complete them completely. Therefore, you will need to manually check the result of the upgrade by checking this guide.

Updating Dependencies

You should change the package name in the composer.json file from dragon-code/laravel-actions to dragon-code/laravel-deploy-operations, and also change its version to ^6.0:

            {
                "require": {
                    "dragon-code/laravel-deploy-operations": "^6.0"
                }
            }
        

Then you need to update the dependencies:

composer update

Changed the namespace

The namespace has been changed from DragonCode\LaravelActions to DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations.

You need to replace it in all actions of your application, as well as when using Events.

Changed the name of the main class

You should replace DragonCode\LaravelActions\Action namespace with DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\Operation.

Changed names of console commands

New Name	Old Name
make:operation	make:action
operations	actions
operations:fresh	actions:fresh
operations:install	actions:install
operations:refresh	actions:refresh
operations:reset	actions:reset
operations:rollback	actions:rollback
operations:status	actions:status
operations:stub	actions:stub
operations:upgrade	actions:upgrade

Changed event names

New Name	Old Name
DeployOperationStarted	ActionStarted
DeployOperationEnded	ActionEnded
DeployOperationFailed	ActionFailed
NoPendingDeployOperations	NoPendingActions

Don't forget to also change the namespace from DragonCode\LaravelActions\Events to DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\Events.

Changed property typing for events

The type of the method property for events has been changed.

Before

                use DragonCode\LaravelActions\Events\ActionEnded;
                use DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\Enums\MethodEnum;

                /** @var ActionEnded */
                $event->method; // is string
            

After

                use DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\Enums\MethodEnum;
                use DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\Events\DeployOperationEnded;

                /** @var DeployOperationEnded */
                $event->method; // is MethodEnum
            

Configuration file name changed

We recommend that you delete the old configuration file config/actions.php and publish a new one. This way you will see the changes made to it.

            php artisan vendor:publish --provider="DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\ServiceProvider"
        

Changed names of constants

If you use package constant references, you must also rename them.

The old name was in UPPER_CASE, the new one was in PascalCase.

For example:

            // Old
            class Names
            {
                public const ACTIONS = 'actions';
                public const FRESH   = 'actions:fresh';
                // ...
            }
        

            // New
            class Names
            {
                public const Fresh      = 'operations:fresh';
                public const Operations = 'operations';
                // ...
            }
        

Changed directory location

File storage directory changed to /operations from /actions.

Database transactions

The following properties have been removed:

$transactions
$transactionAttempts

Instead, you can use the hasTransactions and transactionAttempts methods.

The enabledTransactions method has been renamed to hasTransactions.

Removed $async property

The $async property has been removed from the base class. You can use the previously available isAsync method instead.

Stub name changed

If you published a stub file, then you also need to rename it from stubs/action.stub to stubs/deploy-operation.stub and make changes to its structure.

Removed operations:stub command

The php artisan operations:stub console command has been removed. Use another command instead:

            php artisan vendor:publish --tag=stubs --provider="DragonCode\LaravelDeployOperations\ServiceProvider"
