An upgrade control panel and upgrade helpers for plone upgrades.

Project description

Introduction
============

This product aims to simplify running and writing third-party Generic Setup
upgrade steps in Plone.

It provides a control panel for running multiple upgrades
at once, based on the upgrade mechanism of Generic Setup (portal_setup).

Further a base class for writing upgrade steps with a variety of
helpers for common tasks is provided.

Features
========

* **Managing upgrades**: Provides an advanced view for upgrading
third-party Plone packages using Generic Setup.
It allows to upgrade multiple packages at once with an easy to use user
interface.
By resolving the dependency graph it is able to optimize the upgrade
step order so that the upgrade is hassle free.

* **Writing upgrades**: The package provides a base upgrade class with
various helpers for tasks often done in upgrades.

* **Upgrade directories with less ZCML**: By registering a directory
as upgrade-directory, no more ZCML is needed for each upgrade step.
By using a timestamp as version number we have less (merge-) conflicts
and less error potential.

* **Import profile upgrade steps**: Some times an upgrade step does simply
import an upgrade step generic setup profile, especially made for this
upgrade step. A new ZCML directive makes this much simpler.


Installation
============

- Install ``ftw.upgrade`` by adding it to the list of eggs in your buildout.
Then run buildout and restart your instance:

.. code:: ini

[instance]
eggs +=
ftw.upgrade


- Go to Site Setup of your Plone site and activate the ``ftw.upgrade`` add-on.


.. _console script installation:

Installing ftw.upgrade's console script
---------------------------------------

If you include ``ftw.upgrade`` in the list of ``eggs`` of a
``plone.recipe.zope2instance`` based section, the ``bin/upgrade`` script
should be generated automatically for you (that is, if you haven't limited or
suppressed script generation via the ``scripts`` option).

Otherwise, installing the console script ``bin/upgrade`` can be done with an
additional buildout part:

.. code:: ini

[buildout]
parts += upgrade

[upgrade]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg:scripts
eggs = ftw.upgrade


Compatibility
-------------

Compatible with Plone 4.3.x.


Manage upgrades
===============

The ``@@manage-upgrades`` view allows to upgrade multiple packages at once:

.. image:: https://github.com/4teamwork/ftw.upgrade/raw/master/docs/manage-upgrades.png


Fallback view
-------------

The ``@@manage-upgrades-plain`` view acts as a fallback view for ``@@manage-upgrades``.
It does not include plone`s main template and thus might be able to render when the default
view fails for some reason.


The bin/upgrade script
======================

Refer to the `console script installation`_ section how to install ``bin/upgrade``.

The ``bin/upgrade`` console script allows to manage upgrades on the filesystem (creating
new upgrades, changing upgrade order) as well as interacting with an installed Plone
site and list profiles and upgrades and install upgrades.

Some examples:

.. code:: sh

$ bin/upgrade create "AddCatalogIndex"
$ bin/upgrade touch my/package/upgrades/20110101000000_add_catalog_index
$ bin/upgrade sites
$ bin/upgrade list -s Plone --auth admin:admin --upgrades
$ bin/upgrade install -s Plone --auth admin:admin --proposed

The full documentation of the ``bin/upgrade`` script is available using its help system:

.. code:: sh

$ bin/upgrade help



Upgrade step helpers
====================

The ``UpgradeStep`` base class provides various tools and helpers useful
when writing upgrade steps.
It can be used by registering the classmethod directly.
Be aware that the class is very special: it acts like a function and calls
itself automatically.

Example upgrade step definition (defined in a ``upgrades.py``):

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class UpdateFooIndex(UpgradeStep):
"""The index ``foo`` is a ``FieldIndex`` instead of a
``KeywordIndex``. This upgrade step changes the index type
and reindexes the objects.
"""

def __call__(self):
index_name = 'foo'
if self.catalog_has_index(index_name):
self.catalog_remove_index(index_name)

self.catalog_add_index(index_name, 'KeywordIndex')
self.catalog_rebuild_index(index_name)


Registration in ``configure.zcml`` (assume its in the same directory):

.. code:: xml

<configure
xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
xmlns:genericsetup="http://namespaces.zope.org/genericsetup"
i18n_domain="my.package">

<genericsetup:upgradeStep
profile="my.package:default"
source="4"
destination="5"
title="Update index 'foo'."
handler=".upgrades.UpdateFooIndex"
/>

</configure>


Updating objects with progress logging
--------------------------------------

Since an upgrade step often updates a set of objects indexed in the catalog,
there is a useful helper method combining querying the catalog with the
`ProgressLogger` (see below).
The catalog is queried unrestricted so that we handle all the objects.

Here is an example for updating all objects of a particular type:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade import ProgressLogger
from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class ExcludeFilesFromNavigation(UpgradeStep):

def __call__(self):
for obj in self.objects({'portal_type': 'File'},
'Enable exclude from navigation for files'):
obj.setExcludeFromNav(True)


When running the upgrade step you'll have a progress log::

INFO ftw.upgrade STARTING Enable exclude from navigation for files
INFO ftw.upgrade 1 of 10 (10%): Enable exclude from navigation for files
INFO ftw.upgrade 5 of 50 (50%): Enable exclude from navigation for files
INFO ftw.upgrade 10 of 10 (100%): Enable exclude from navigation for files
INFO ftw.upgrade DONE: Enable exclude from navigation for files



Methods
-------

The ``UpgradeStep`` class has various helper functions:


``self.getToolByName(tool_name)``
Returns the tool with the name ``tool_name`` of the upgraded site.

``self.objects(catalog_query, message, logger=None, savepoints=None)``
Queries the catalog (unrestricted) and an iterator with full objects.
The iterator configures and calls a ``ProgressLogger`` with the
passed ``message``.

If set to a non-zero value, the ``savepoints`` argument causes a transaction
savepoint to be created every n items. This can be used to keep memory usage
in check when creating large transactions.

``self.catalog_rebuild_index(name)``
Reindex the ``portal_catalog`` index identified by ``name``.

``self.catalog_reindex_objects(query, idxs=None, savepoints=None)``
Reindex all objects found in the catalog with `query`.
A list of indexes can be passed as `idxs` for limiting the
indexed indexes.
The ``savepoints`` argument will be passed to ``self.objects()``.

``self.catalog_has_index(name)``
Returns whether there is a catalog index ``name``.

``self.catalog_add_index(name, type_, extra=None)``
Adds a new index to the ``portal_catalog`` tool.

``self.catalog_remove_index(name)``
Removes an index to from ``portal_catalog`` tool.

``self.actions_remove_action(category, action_id)``
Removes an action identified by ``action_id`` from
the ``portal_actions`` tool from a particulary ``category``.

``self.catalog_unrestricted_get_object(brain)``
Returns the unrestricted object of a brain.

``self.catalog_unrestricted_search(query, full_objects=False)``
Searches the catalog without checking security.
When `full_objects` is `True`, unrestricted objects are
returned instead of brains.
Upgrade steps should generally use unrestricted catalog access
since all objects should be upgraded - even if the manager
running the upgrades has no access on the objects.

``self.actions_add_type_action(self, portal_type, after, action_id, **kwargs)``
Add a ``portal_types`` action from the type identified
by ``portal_type``, the position can be defined by the
``after`` attribute. If the after action can not be found,
the action will be inserted at the end of the list.

``self.actions_remove_type_action(portal_type, action_id)``
Removes a ``portal_types`` action from the type identified
by ``portal_type`` with the action id ``action_id``.

``self.set_property(context, key, value, data_type='string')``
Set a property with the key ``value`` and the value ``value``
on the ``context`` safely.
The property is created with the type ``data_type`` if it does not exist.

``self.add_lines_to_property(context, key, lines)``
Updates a property with key ``key`` on the object ``context``
adding ``lines``.
The property is expected to by of type "lines".
If the property does not exist it is created.

``self.setup_install_profile(profileid, steps=None)``
Installs the generic setup profile identified by ``profileid``.
If a list step names is passed with ``steps`` (e.g. ['actions']),
only those steps are installed. All steps are installed by default.

``self.ensure_profile_installed(profileid)``
Install a generic setup profile only when it is not yet installed.

``self.install_upgrade_profile(steps=None)``
Installs the generic setup profile associated with this upgrade step.
Profile may be associated to upgrade steps by using either the
``upgrade-step:importProfile`` or the ``upgrade-step:directory`` directive.

``self.is_profile_installed(profileid)``
Checks whether a generic setup profile is installed.
Respects product uninstallation via quickinstaller.

``self.is_product_installed(product_name)``
Check whether a product is installed.

``self.uninstall_product(product_name)``
Uninstalls a product using the quick installer.

``self.migrate_class(obj, new_class)``
Changes the class of an object. It has a special handling for BTreeFolder2Base
based containers.

``self.remove_broken_browserlayer(name, dottedname)``
Removes a browser layer registration whose interface can't be imported any
more from the persistent registry.
Messages like these on instance boot time can be an indication for this
problem:
``WARNING OFS.Uninstalled Could not import class 'IMyProductSpecific' from
module 'my.product.interfaces'``

``self.update_security(obj, reindex_security=True)``
Update the security of a single object (checkboxes in manage_access).
This is usefuly in combination with the ``ProgressLogger``.
It is possible to not reindex the object security in the catalog
(``allowedRolesAndUsers``). This speeds up the update but should only be disabled
when there are no changes for the ``View`` permission.

``self.update_workflow_security(workflow_names, reindex_security=True)``
Update all objects which have one of a list of workflows.
This is useful when updating a bunch of workflows and you want to make sure
that the object security is updated properly.

The update is done by doing as few as possibly by only searching for
types which might have this workflow. It does support placeful workflow policies.

For speeding up you can pass ``reindex_security=False``, but you need to make
sure you did not change any security relevant permissions (only ``View`` needs
``reindex_security=True`` for default Plone).

``self.base_profile``
The attribute ``base_profile`` contains the profile name of the upgraded
profile including the ``profile-`` prefix.
Example: ``u"profile-the.package:default"``.
This information is only available when using the
``upgrade-step:directory`` directive.

``self.target_version``
The attribute ``target_version`` contains the target version of the upgrade
step as a bytestring.
Example with upgrade step directory: ``"20110101000000"``.
This information is only available when using the
``upgrade-step:directory`` directive.



Progress logger
---------------

When an upgrade step is taking a long time to complete (e.g. while performing a data migration), the
administrator needs to have information about the progress of the update. It is also important to have
continuous output for avoiding proxy timeouts when accessing Zope through a webserver / proxy.

With the ``ProgressLogger`` it is very easy to log the progress:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade import ProgressLogger
from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class MyUpgrade(UpgradeStep):

def __call__(self):
objects = self.catalog_unrestricted_search(
{'portal_type': 'MyType'}, full_objects=True)

for obj in ProgressLogger('Migrate my type', objects):
self.upgrade_obj(obj)

def upgrade_obj(self, obj):
do_something_with(obj)


The logger will log the current progress every 5 seconds (default).
Example log output::

INFO ftw.upgrade STARTING Migrate MyType
INFO ftw.upgrade 1 of 10 (10%): Migrate MyType
INFO ftw.upgrade 5 of 50 (50%): Migrate MyType
INFO ftw.upgrade 10 of 10 (100%): Migrate MyType
INFO ftw.upgrade DONE: Migrate MyType


Workflow Chain Updater
----------------------

When the workflow is changed for a content type, the workflow state is
reset to the init state of new workflow for every existing object of this
type. This can be really annoying.

The `WorkflowChainUpdater` takes care of setting every object to the right
state after changing the chain (the workflow for the type):

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade.workflow import WorkflowChainUpdater
from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class UpdateWorkflowChains(UpgradeStep):

def __call__(self):
query = {'portal_type': ['Document', 'Folder']}
objects = self.catalog_unrestricted_search(
query, full_objects=True)

review_state_mapping={
('intranet_workflow', 'plone_workflow'): {
'external': 'published',
'pending': 'pending'}}

with WorkflowChainUpdater(objects, review_state_mapping):
# assume that the profile 1002 does install a new workflow
# chain for Document and Folder.
self.setup_install_profile('profile-my.package.upgrades:1002')


The workflow chain updater migrates the workflow history by default.
The workflow history migration can be disabled by setting
``migrate_workflow_history`` to ``False``:

.. code:: python

with WorkflowChainUpdater(objects, review_state_mapping,
migrate_workflow_history=False):
# code


If a transition mapping is provided, the actions in the workflow history
entries are migrated according to the mapping so that the translations
work for the new workflow:

.. code:: python

transition_mapping = {
('intranet_workflow', 'new_workflow'): {
'submit': 'submit-for-approval'}}

with WorkflowChainUpdater(objects, review_state_mapping,
transition_mapping=transition_mapping):
# code



Placeful Workflow Policy Activator
----------------------------------

When manually activating a placeful workflow policy all objects with a new
workflow might be reset to the initial state of the new workflow.

ftw.upgrade has a tool for enabling placeful workflow policies without
breaking the review state by mapping it from the old to the new workflows:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade.placefulworkflow import PlacefulWorkflowPolicyActivator
from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class ActivatePlacefulWorkflowPolicy(UpgradeStep):

def __call__(self):
portal_url = self.getToolByName('portal_url')
portal = portal_url.getPortalObject()

context = portal.unrestrictedTraverse('path/to/object')

activator = PlacefulWorkflowPolicyActivator(context)
activator.activate_policy(
'local_policy',
review_state_mapping={
('intranet_workflow', 'plone_workflow'): {
'external': 'published',
'pending': 'pending'}})

The above example activates a placeful workflow policy recursively on the
object under "path/to/object", enabling the placeful workflow policy
"local_policy".

The mapping then maps the "intranet_workflow" to the "plone_workflow" by
defining which old states (key, intranet_workflow) should be changed to
the new states (value, plone_workflow).

**Options**

- `activate_in`: Activates the placeful workflow policy for the passed in
object (`True` by default).
- `activate_below`: Activates the placeful workflow policy for the children
of the passed in object, recursively (`True` by default).
- `update_security`: Update object security and reindex
allowedRolesAndUsers (`True` by default).


Inplace Migrator
----------------

The inplace migrator provides a fast and easy way for migrating content in
upgrade steps.
It can be used for example for migration from Archetypes to Dexterity.

The difference between Plone's standard migration and the inplace migration
is that the standard migration creates a new sibling and moves the children
and the inplace migration simply replaces the objects within the tree an
attaches the children to the new parent.
This is a much faster approach since no move / rename events are fired.

Example usage:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep
from ftw.upgrade.migration import InplaceMigrator

class MigrateContentPages(UpgradeStep):

def __call__(self):
self.install_upgrade_profile()

migrator = InplaceMigrator(
new_portal_type='DXContentPage',
field_mapping={'text': 'content'},
)

for obj in self.objects({'portal_type': 'ATContentPage'},
'Migrate content pages to dexterity'):
migrator.migrate_object(obj)


**Arguments:**

- ``new_portal_type`` (required): The portal_type name of the destination type.
- ``field_mapping``: A mapping of old fieldnames to new fieldnames.
- ``options``: One or many options (binary flags).
- ``ignore_fields``: A list of fields which should be ignored.
- ``attributes_to_migrate``: A list of attributes (not fields!) which should be
copied from the old to the new object. This defaults to
``DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTES_TO_COPY``.

**Options:**

The options are binary flags: multiple options can be or-ed.
Exmaple:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade.migration import IGNORE_STANDARD_FIELD_MAPPING
from ftw.upgrade.migration import IGNORE_UNMAPPED_FIELDS
from ftw.upgrade.migration import InplaceMigrator

migrator = InplaceMigrator(
'DXContentPage',
options=IGNORE_UNMAPPED_FIELDS | IGNORE_STANDARD_FIELD_MAPPING,
})

- ``DISABLE_FIELD_AUTOMAPPING``: by default, fields with the same name on the
old and the new implementation are automatically mapped. This flags disables
the automatic mapping.
- ``IGNORE_UNMAPPED_FIELDS``: by default, a ``FieldsNotMappedError`` is raised
when unmapped fields are detected. This flags disables this behavior and
unmapped fields are simply ignored.
- ``BACKUP_AND_IGNORE_UNMAPPED_FIELDS``: ignores unmapped fields but stores the
values of unmapped fields in the annotations of the new object (using the
key from the constant ``UNMAPPED_FIELDS_BACKUP_ANN_KEY``), so that the values
can be handled later. This is useful when having additional fields (schema
extender).
- ``IGNORE_STANDARD_FIELD_MAPPING`` by default, the ``STANDARD_FIELD_MAPPING``
is merged into each field mapping, containing standard Plone field mappings
from Archetypes to Dexterity. This flag disables this behavior.
- ``IGNORE_DEFAULT_IGNORE_FIELDS`` by default, the fields listed in
``DEFAULT_IGNORED_FIELDS`` are skipped. This flag disables this behavior.
- ``SKIP_MODIFIED_EVENT`` when `True`, no modified event is triggered.


Upgrade directories
===================

The ``upgrade-step:directory`` ZCML directive allows us to use a new upgrade step
definition syntax with these **advantages**:

- The directory is once registered (ZCML) and automatically scanned at Zope boot time.
This *reduces the ZCML* used for each upgrade step
and avoids the redundancy created by having to specify the profile version in multiple places.
- Timestamps are used instead of version numbers.
Because of that we have *less merge-conflicts*.
- The version in the profile's ``metadata.xml`` is removed and dynamically set
at Zope boot time to the version of the latest upgrade step.
We no longer have to maintain this version in upgrades.
- Each upgrade is automatically a Generic Setup profile.
An instance of the ``UpgradeStep`` class knows which profile it belongs to,
and that profile can easily be imported with ``self.install_upgrade_profile()``.
``self.install_upgrade_profile()``.
- The ``manage-upgrades`` view shows us when we have accidentally merged upgrade steps
with older timestamps than already executed upgrade steps.
This helps us detect a long-term-branch merge problem.

Setting up an upgrade directory
-------------------------------

- Register an upgrade directory for your profile (e.g. ``my/package/configure.zcml``):

.. code:: xml

<configure
xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
xmlns:upgrade-step="http://namespaces.zope.org/ftw.upgrade"
i18n_domain="my.package">

<include package="ftw.upgrade" file="meta.zcml" />

<upgrade-step:directory
profile="my.package:default"
directory="./upgrades"
/>

</configure>

- Create the configured upgrade step directory (e.g. ``my/package/upgrades``) and put an
empty ``__init__.py`` in this directory (prevents some python import warnings).

- Remove the version from the ``metadata.xml`` of the profile for which the upgrade step
directory is configured (e.g. ``my/package/profiles/default/metadata.xml``):

.. code:: xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<metadata>
<dependencies>
<dependency>profile-other.package:default</dependency>
</dependencies>
</metadata>


Declare upgrades soft dependencies
-----------------------------

When having optional dependencies (``extras_require``), we sometimes need to tell
``ftw.upgrade`` that our optional dependency's upgrades needs to be installed
before our upgrades are installed.

We do that by declare a soft dependency in the ``upgrade-step:directory``
directive.
It is possible to declare multiple dependencies by separating them
with whitespace.

.. code:: xml

<configure
xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
xmlns:upgrade-step="http://namespaces.zope.org/ftw.upgrade"
i18n_domain="my.package">

<include package="ftw.upgrade" file="meta.zcml" />

<upgrade-step:directory
profile="my.package:default"
directory="./upgrades"
soft_dependencies="other.package:default
collective.fancy:default"
/>

</configure>


Creating an upgrade step
------------------------

Upgrade steps can be generated with ``ftw.upgrade``'s ``bin/upgrade`` console script.
The idea is to install this script with buildout using
`zc.recipe.egg <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.egg>`_.

Once installed, upgrade steps can simply be scaffolded with the script:

.. code::

$ bin/upgrade create AddControlpanelAction

The ``create`` command searches for your ``upgrades`` directory by resolving the
``*.egg-info/top_level.txt`` file. If you have no egg-infos or your upgrades directory is
named differently the automatic discovery does not work and you can provide the
path to the upgrades directory using the ``--path`` argument.

.. sidebar:: Global create-upgrade script

The
`create-upgrade <https://github.com/4teamwork/ftw.upgrade/blob/master/scripts/create-upgrade>`_
script helps you create upgrade steps in any directory (also when not named ``upgrades``).
Download it and place it somewhere in your ``PATH``, cd in the directory and create an upgrade
step: ``create-upgrade add_control_panel_action``.

If you would like to have colorized output in the terminal, you can install
the ``colors`` extras (``ftw.upgrade[colors]``).


Reordering upgrade steps
------------------------

The ``bin/upgrade`` console script provides a ``touch`` for reordering generated upgrade steps.
With the optional arguments ``--before`` and ``--after`` upgrade steps can be moved to a specific
position.
When the optional arguments are omitted, the upgrade step timestamp is set to the current time.

Examples:

.. code::

$ bin/upgrade touch upgrades/20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action
$ bin/upgrade touch 20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action --before 20141220181500_update_registry
$ bin/upgrade touch 20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action --after 20141220181500_update_registry



Creating an upgrade step manually
---------------------------------

- Create a directory for the upgrade step in the upgrades directory.
The directory name must contain a timestamp and a description, concatenated by an underscore,
e.g. ``YYYYMMDDHHMMII_description_of_what_is_done``:

.. code::

$ mkdir my/package/upgrades/20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action

- Next, create the upgrade step code in an ``upgrade.py`` in the just created directory.
This file needs to be created, otherwise the upgrade step is not registered.

.. code:: python

# my/package/upgrades/20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action/upgrade.py

from ftw.upgrade import UpgradeStep

class AddControlPanelAction(UpgradeStep):
"""Adds a new control panel action for the package.
"""
def __call__(self):
# maybe do something
self.install_upgrade_profile()
# maybe do something

..

- You must inherit from ``UpgradeStep``.
- Give your class a proper name, although it does not show up anywhere.
- Add a descriptive docstring to the class, the first consecutive lines are
used as upgrade step description.
- Do not forget to execute ``self.install_upgrade_profile()`` if you have Generic Setup based
changes in your upgrade.

- Put Generic Setup files in the same upgrade step directory, it automatically acts as a
Generic Setup profile just for this upgrade step.
The ``install_upgrade_profile`` knows what to import.

For our example this means we put a file at
``my/package/upgrades/20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action/controlpanel.xml``
which adds the new control panel action.

The resulting directory structure should be something like this:

.. code::

my/
package/
configure.zcml # registers the profile and the upgrade directory
upgrades/ # contains the upgrade steps
__init__.py # prevents python import warnings
20141218093045_add_controlpanel_action/ # our first upgrade step
upgrade.py # should contain an ``UpgradeStep`` subclass
controlpanel.xml # Generic Setup data to import
20141220181500_update_registry/ # another upgrade step
upgrade.py
*.xml
profiles/
default/ # the default Generic Setup profile
metadata.xml



JSON API

Executing upgrades
------------------

When executing upgrades the response is not of type JSON but a streamed upgrade log.
If the request is correct, the response status will always be 200 OK, no matter whether
the upgrades will install correctly or not.
If an upgrade fails, the request and the transaction is aborted and the response content
will end with "Result: FAILURE\n".
If the upgrade succeeds, the response content will end with "Result: SUCCESS\n".


Executing selected upgrades
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Selected upgrades can be executing by their API-ID (format: "<dest>@<profileid>").
When upgrade groups are used the API-ID is kind of ambiguous and identifies / installs all
upgrade steps of the same profile with the same target version.

All upgrade steps are reordered to the installation order proposed by ftw.upgrade.
It is not possible to change the order within one request, use multiple requests for
unproposed installation order.
The installation order is done by topogically ordering the profiles by their dependencies
and ordering the upgrades within each profile by their target version.

Example for executing a selected set of upgrades:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:8080/Plone/upgrades-api/execute_upgrades?upgrades:list=7@Products.TinyMCE:TinyMCE&upgrades:list=20150114104527@ftw.upgrade:default"
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade ______________________________________________________________________
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade UPGRADE STEP Products.TinyMCE:TinyMCE: Upgrade TinyMCE 1.3.4 to 1.3.5

2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade Upgrade step duration: 1 second
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade ______________________________________________________________________
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade UPGRADE STEP ftw.upgrade:default: Foo.

2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO GenericSetup.archetypetool Archetype tool imported.
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade Ran upgrade step Foo. for profile ftw.upgrade:default
2015-01-14 11:16:14 INFO ftw.upgrade Upgrade step duration: 1 second
Result: SUCCESS


Execute all proposed upgrades
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Example for exeuting all proposed upgrades of a Plone site:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST http://localhost:8080/Plone/upgrades-api/execute_proposed_upgrades
2015-01-14 11:17:34 INFO ftw.upgrade ______________________________________________________________________
2015-01-14 11:17:34 INFO ftw.upgrade UPGRADE STEP ftw.upgrade:default: Bar.
2015-01-14 11:17:35 INFO GenericSetup.rolemap Role / permission map imported.
2015-01-14 11:17:35 INFO GenericSetup.archetypetool Archetype tool imported.
2015-01-14 11:17:35 INFO ftw.upgrade Ran upgrade step Bar. for profile ftw.upgrade:default
2015-01-14 11:17:35 INFO ftw.upgrade Upgrade step duration: 1 second
Result: SUCCESS


Installing profiles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can install complete profiles. When the profile is already
installed, nothing is done. Usually you will want to install the
default profile, but it is fine to install an uninstall profile.

Note that we do nothing with the ``portal_quickinstaller``. So if you
install an uninstall profile, you may still see the product as
installed. But for default profiles everything goes as you would
expect.

Example for installing PloneFormGen (which was not installed yet) and
ftw.upgrade (which was already installed):

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:8080/Plone/upgrades-api/execute_profiles?profiles:list=Products.PloneFormGen:default&profiles:list=ftw.upgrade:default"
2016-01-05 13:09:46 INFO ftw.upgrade Installing profile Products.PloneFormGen:default.
2016-01-05 13:09:46 INFO GenericSetup.rolemap Role / permission map imported.
...
2016-01-05 13:09:48 INFO GenericSetup.types 'FieldsetEnd' type info imported.
2016-01-05 13:09:48 INFO GenericSetup.factorytool FactoryTool settings imported.
2016-01-05 13:09:48 INFO ftw.upgrade Done installing profile Products.PloneFormGen:default.
2016-01-05 13:09:48 INFO ftw.upgrade Ignoring already installed profile ftw.upgrade:default.
Result: SUCCESS

By default, already installed profiles are skipped.
When supplying the ``force_reinstall=True`` request parameter,
already installed profiles will be reinstalled.


Upgrading Plone
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can migrate your Plone Site. This is what you would manually do
in the @@plone-upgrade view, which is linked to in the overview
control panel (or the ZMI) when your Plone Site needs updating.

Example for upgrading Plone:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test/upgrades-api/plone_upgrade"
"Plone Site has been updated."

Example for upgrading Plone when no upgrade is needed:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test/upgrades-api/plone_upgrade"
"Plone Site was already up to date."

For checking whether a Plone upgrade is needed, you can do:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST "http://localhost:8080/test/upgrades-api/plone_upgrade_needed"


Recook resources
----------------

CSS and JavaScript resource bundles can be recooked:

.. code:: sh

$ curl -uadmin:admin -X POST http://localhost:8080/Plone/upgrades-api/recook_resources
"OK"


Import-Profile Upgrade Steps
============================

Sometimes an upgrade simply imports a little Generic Setup profile, which is only
made for this upgrade step. Doing such upgrade steps are often much simpler than doing
the change in python, because we can simply copy the necessary parts of the new
default generic setup profile into the upgrade step profile.

Normally, for doing this, we have to register an upgrade step and a Generic Setup
profile and write an upgrade step handler importing the profile.

ftw.upgrade makes this much simpler by providing an ``importProfile`` ZCML direvtive
especially for this specific use case.

Example ``configure.zcml`` meant to be placed in your ``upgrades`` sub-package:

.. code:: xml

<configure
xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
xmlns:upgrade-step="http://namespaces.zope.org/ftw.upgrade"
i18n_domain="my.package">

<include package="ftw.upgrade" file="meta.zcml" />

<upgrade-step:importProfile
title="Update email_from_address"
profile="my.package:default"
source="1007"
destination="1008"
directory="profiles/1008"
/>

</configure>

This example upgrade step updates the ``email_from_address`` property.

A generic setup profile is automatically registered and hooked up with the
generated upgrade step handler.

Simply put a ``properties.xml`` in the folder ``profiles/1008`` relative to the
above ``configure.zcml`` and the upgrade step is ready for deployment.

Optionally, a ``handler`` may be defined.
The handler, a subclass of ``UpgradeStep``, can import the associated generic
setup profile with ``self.install_upgrade_profile()``.



IPostUpgrade adapter
====================

By registering an ``IPostUpgrade`` adapter it is possible to run custom code
after running upgrades.
All adapters are executed after each time upgrades were run, not depending on
which upgrades are run.
The name of the adapters should be the profile of the package, so that
``ftw.upgrade`` is able to execute the adapters in order of the GS dependencies.

Example adapter:

.. code:: python

from ftw.upgrade.interfaces import IPostUpgrade
from zope.interface import implements

class MyPostUpgradeAdapter(object):
implements(IPostUpgrade)

def __init__(self, portal, request):
self.portal = portal
self.request = request

def __call__(self):
# custom code, e.g. import a generic setup profile for customizations

Registration in ZCML:

.. code:: xml

<configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope">
<adapter
factory=".adapters.MyPostUpgradeAdapter"
provides="ftw.upgrade.interfaces.IPostUpgrade"
for="Products.CMFPlone.interfaces.siteroot.IPloneSiteRoot
zope.interface.Interface"
name="my.package:default" />
</configure>

number. :-(
[jone]


1.16.1 (2016-01-13)
-------------------

- Added documentation for the additions of the previous release. [maurits]


1.16.0 (2016-01-05)

performs the specified command on each of them. A failing command
for one site will stop the entire command. [maurits]

- Configure logging for the command line utility. By default print

1.14.3 (2015-03-29)
-------------------

- Fix error in upgrade-step:directory directive.
The error occured when the directory was a subdirectory relative to the
ZCML directory, causing the package module to be replaced with the
upgrades package directory in sys.modules.
[jone]

- Fix issue with transaction note length when a large not already exists.
When the transaction note already has maximum length (e.g. with Archetypes notes),
nothing more should be added.
Also increased the threshold back (reduced in 1.14.2).
[jone]


1.14.2 (2015-03-25)
-------------------

- Reduce maximum transaction note length used by ftw.upgrade.
[jone]


1.14.1 (2015-03-18)

- Command: fix instance discover when bound to public interface.
[jone]


1.14.0 (2015-02-24)

This makes it possible to install upgrades from the console.
[jone]

- Update upgrade step scaffold to support plone.reload.
[jone]

- New JSON API implemented, accessible with `/upgrades-api`.
[jone]

- Executioner: `install_upgrades_by_api_ids` was added, allowing to install
a selection of upgrades identified by API ugprade ids.
[jone]

- Gatherer: `get_upgrades_by_api_ids` was added, returning upgrade infos
for a selection of API upgrade ids.
[jone]

- Gatherer: `get_upgrades` is deprecated and replaced by `get_profiles`.
`get_profiles` now has a `proposed_only` flag.
[jone]


1.11.0 (2015-01-08)
-------------------

- Reverse post upgrade adapter ordering.
The order was reversed, it should execute dependencies first.
[jone]

- create-upgrade: Make sure to quote argument passed to bin/upgrade.
[lgraf]

- Add a ``create-upgrade`` script which can be installed globally.
[jone]

- Create a ``bin/upgrade`` script:

- the ``create`` command creates a upgrade step in the "upgrades" directory.
- the ``touch`` command can be used for reordering upgrade steps.

[jone]

- New ``upgrade-step:directory`` directive for registering a directory
with upgrade steps which are automatically detected and registered.
[jone]

- Extend the importProfile directive so that a handler can be
defined. The handler may import the associated upgrade step
profile with the new method ``self.install_upgrade_profile()``.
[jone]


1.10.2 (2014-11-19)
-------------------

- Exclude uninstalled products from upgrades view.
[jone]

- Make upgrades appear in undo form again.
The transaction note fix in 1.7.4 caused upgrade transaction to not appear in the undo form.
[jone]


1.10.1 (2014-10-27)
-------------------

- Update upgrade view ordering for root nodes.
The dependency graph does not define any order for root
profiles (e.g. included in buildout directly), which causes
random sorting in the upgrade view for those profiles.
This change sorts those root profiles by name without changing
the order of profiles which is depended on.
[jone]


1.10.0 (2014-08-28)
-------------------

- Wrap step.objects in a SavepointIterator that creates a savepoint every n items.
[lgraf]


1.9.0 (2014-08-27)
------------------

- Add @@manage-upgrades-plain fallback view for @@manage-upgrades.
It does not include plone`s main template and thus might be able to render when
the default view fails for some reason.
[deiferni]


1.8.0 (2014-08-11)
------------------

- Prevent portal_quickinstaller from picking upgrade-steps instead of the
default-profile by prefixing the profile-id with ``upgrade_to_`` (fix #45)
[pbauer]

- Flag profiles whose filesystem version is outdated.
Highlights profiles with upgrades that lead to a destination version that is
higher than the corresponding profile's current filesystem version.
This usually means someone forgot to update the version in metadata.xml of the
corresponding profile.
[lgraf]


1.7.4 (2014-05-12)
------------------

- Extend workflow updater to migrate workflow history.
[jone]

- Fix workflow updater to always update objects.
The objects are updated even when it seems that the object was
not update or has no longer a workflow.
This fixes issues when updating a workflow, in which case the
old workflow and the new workflow has the same ID.
[jone]

- Make sure the transaction note does not get too long.
Zope limits the transaction note length. By actively managing the transaction note
we can provide fallbacks for when it gets too long because a lot of upgrade steps
are installed at the same time.
[jone]


1.7.3 (2014-04-30)
------------------

- Add ``uninstall_product`` method to upgrade step class.
[jone]


1.7.2 (2014-02-28)
