Testing module update

[skorupa]

Hi,

I am writing next version of my module, and want to do some update in database.

 

My plugin is published in Addons so it will get the benefit of autoupdating.

 

I found this article: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Auto-updating+modules

but my problem now is: How To Test It.

 

Very simple thing, yet I can't find any info how to do it. If any one found solution to this problem or have some good tips how to do it I would appreciate very much.

Has anybody any expirience with module auto-update, how to test it etc.

are you saying you want to test the function that notifies merchants that there is a new update? Or do you want to test that the module is installed and upgraded properly?

Secod option.

I want to test module update scenario, and check do my module updates correctly.

You can do that locally. Install the old version of the module, and then install the new version of the module and confirm that your upgrade procedures work properly.

What I do is to call all upgrade scripts from the module install method. So I can test the full upgrade process when I do a normal installation. I'm not sure if this is the oficial way, but it seems to work.

 

public function install() {
   if (!parent::install())
      return false;

   // In this exemple 1.1.2 is the current version of the module 
   // and the others are previous versions.
   $versions =  array('1.0.0', '1.1.0', '1.1.2');
   foreach ($versions as $ver) {
      include(dirname(__FILE__).'/upgrade/install-'.$ver.'.php');
      $upgrade_func = 'upgrade_module_'.str_replace('.', '_', $ver);
      if (!$upgrade_func($this)) return false;
   }

   return true;
}
