Problem

After executing your buildout to deploy your Plone project you have to start the zope instance and then go on the ZMI to create/update the plone sites, install/reinstall some products, run some GS profiles or sometimes run some scripts or migrate to new Plone version. This is boring!

Solution

collective.recipe.updateplone is a buildout recipe that you can use to create or update plone sites. It automatizes the following tasks:

• Backup database

• pack database

• create plone sites if it do not exist

• install or reinstall products with the quickinstaller

• uninstall products with the quickinstaller

• run GS profiles

• run Plone migration (portal_migration.upgrade)

Detailed Documentation

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

plone-site

A list of plone site to update or to create if they do not exist. Each item of the list consist of the zope instance name that contains (will contain) the plone site, a dot and the name of the plone site. ex: instance1.site1

migrate-plone

If true, the recipe will upgrade your plone site by running portal_migration.upgrade(). This is only useful if you are migrating to a new version of plone. This option defaults to false.

uninstall

A list of packages/products to uninstall with the quickinstaller if they are already installed

install

A list of packages/products to install with the quickinstaller or to reinstall if they are already installed.

run-script

A list of scripts to call/run. Each item of the list consist of a path to the script to run. The path has to start with portal/. ex: portal/migrate_all

run-profile

A list of GS profile Ids to be run. Each id has to be given as it accepted by setup tool. ie: profile-ProductName:default

backup-db

If true, the recipe will backup Data.fs before processing. Defaults to false.

pack-db

If true, the recipe will pack Data.fs before processing. Defaults to false

admin-name

The name of the zope instance admin. The same as defined in the user option of your zope instance. Defaults to ‘admin’

run-once

If true the recipe will only run once. If you run the buildout many times the recipe will only run the first time. It does this by writing a file to the var directory. If you want to run the recipe again you have to delete the file from the var directory or set this option to false. The file name is the same as the section name with cfg extension. This option Defaults to True.

Example usage

We’ll start by creating a buildout that uses the recipe. Let’s create a freash zope instance and create 2 plone sites inside it. We will also install RichDocument and NuPlone into these sites:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', """
... [buildout]
... parts =
...     zope2
...     instance1
...     plone
...     update-plone
... index = http://pypi.python.org/simple
... find-links =
...     http://download.zope.org/distribution/
...     http://effbot.org/downloads
... eggs =
...     elementtree
...     PILwoTK
...
... [zope2]
... recipe = plone.recipe.zope2install
... url = ${plone:zope2-url}
...
... [plone]
... recipe = plone.recipe.plone
...
... [instance1]
... recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
... zope2-location = ${zope2:location}
... user = admin:admin
... deprecation-warnings = false
... eggs =
...     ${buildout:eggs}
...     ${plone:eggs}
...     Products.RichDocument
... zcml =
...     Products.RichDocument
... products =
...     ${plone:products}
...
... [update-plone]
... recipe = collective.recipe.updateplone
... backup-db = true
... pack-db = true
... plone-site =
...     instance1.site1
...     instance1.site2
... install =
...     Marshall
... uninstall =
... run-profile =
...     profile-Products.RichDocument:default
...     profile-Products.NuPlone:nuplone
... run-script =
... """)

Running the buildout gives us:

>>> print system(buildout) # doctest:+ELLIPSIS
Getting distribution for 'plone.recipe.plone'.
