Description Kyle M Hall 2018-04-26 19:04:57 UTC
It would be nice if plugins had an upgrade method to handle altering tables and such when a new version of a plugin is installed. Right now it must be done in a completely bespoke manner.

Nope, but I could add something to the Kitchen Sink plugin to test with if you'd like!

Bug 20669: Add upgrade method to plugins

It would be nice if plugins had an upgrade method to handle altering tables and such when a new version of a plugin is installed. Right now it must be done in a completely bespoke manner.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Download the 2 most recent releases of the Kitchen Sink plugin
   https://github.com/bywatersolutions/koha-plugin-kitchen-sink/releases
3) Install the earlier release
4) Look at the configuration page, at the bottom it should say the
   plugin has never been upgraded
5) Install the newer release
6) Reload the configuration page, it should now say that the plugin
   was upgraded and give you the date and time of the upgrade

I chose to backport this enhancement in line with my policy of backporting non-breaking change enhancements to the API and Plugin systems.
