Magento 2 catalog_product_save_after when is triggered?

Question

In Magento 2 the event catalog_product_save_after is triggered during import of products from csv file?

Thanks in advanced for any response.

Answer 1

If you go to CatalogImportExport/Model/Import/Product.php and check _saveProducts() function you will see at the end they are dispatching catalog_product_import_bunch_save_after this event. May be this is getting called.

Answer 2

As I found it will trigger on entity create or update and staging update or create scenarios.

public function execute($entity, $arguments = [])
    {
        $entityType = $this->typeResolver->resolve($entity);
        $metadata = $this->metadataPool->getMetadata($entityType);
        $connection = $this->resourceConnection->getConnectionByName($metadata->getEntityConnectionName());
        $connection->beginTransaction();
        try {
            $this->eventManager->dispatch(
                'entity_manager_save_before',
                [
                    'entity_type' => $entityType,
                    'entity' => $entity
                ]
            );
            $this->eventManager->dispatchEntityEvent($entityType, 'save_before', ['entity' => $entity]);

            $entity = $this->getSequenceApplier()->apply($entity);

            $entity = $this->createMain->execute($entity, $arguments);
            $entity = $this->createAttributes->execute($entity, $arguments);
            $entity = $this->createExtensions->execute($entity, $arguments);
            $this->eventManager->dispatchEntityEvent($entityType, 'save_after', ['entity' => $entity]);
            $this->eventManager->dispatch(
                'entity_manager_save_after',
                [
                    'entity_type' => $entityType,
                    'entity' => $entity
                ]
            );
            $connection->commit();
        } catch (DuplicateException $e) {
            $connection->rollBack();
            throw new AlreadyExistsException(new Phrase('Unique constraint violation found'), $e);
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $connection->rollBack();
            throw $e;
        }
        return $entity;
    }

Cheers!
