What is the process of upgrade magento 2.4.2 to 2.4.4?

Question

What is the process of upgrading Magento from Magento 2.4.2 to Magento 2.4.4.

As I have checked 2.4.2 is not working with PHP 8.1 so we can not upgrade PHP version first.

And if we upgrade with the same PHP version PHP 7.4 then Magento 2.4.4 will not work.

So Which process needs to do first like upgrading the PHP version OR upgrade the Magento version.

Answer 1

Overwrite in your composer.json file the require-dev object with the following one, then run composer update again.

"require-dev": {
    "allure-framework/allure-phpunit": "~1.5.0",
    "dealerdirect/phpcodesniffer-composer-installer": "^0.7.0",
    "friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer": "~3.3.0",
    "lusitanian/oauth": "~0.8.10",
    "magento/magento-coding-standard": "*",
    "magento/magento2-functional-testing-framework": "^3.7",
    "pdepend/pdepend": "~2.10.0",
    "phpmd/phpmd": "^2.9.1",
    "phpstan/phpstan": "~1.2.0",
    "phpunit/phpunit": "~9.5.0",
    "sebastian/phpcpd": "^6.0.3",
    "squizlabs/php_codesniffer": "~3.6.0",
    "symfony/finder": "^5.2"
}

Magento Devdoc show php 8 for magento2.4.4, but I tried in my ubuntu with php7.4, it is working.

Magento2.4.4 work in php7.4, you can direct upgrade your magento version.

bin/magento maintenance:enable
composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.4 --no-update
composer update

rm -rf var/cache/*
rm -rf var/page_cache/*
rm -rf generated/code/*


bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f;
bin/magento maintenance:disable

Try with below process and it will work.

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.4 --no-update

composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

php bin/magento s:up

php bin/magento s:s:d -f

php bin/magento s:d:c

php bin/magento in:rein

php bin/magento c:c

Answer 5

So here is what yo need to do, first you need to set a few prerequisites right

1. Add the package to your composer.json file.

   composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin ~2.0 --no-update

2. Update dependencies

   composer update

From that now you do the actual upgrade :

If you not on linux you could just leave out the sudo.

1. Switch to maintenance mode to prevent access to your store during the upgrade process.

   sudo php bin/magento maintenance:enable

2. Starting the upgrade process while asynchronous processes, such as message queue consumers, are running may cause data corruption. To prevent data corruption, disable all cron jobs.

Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure:

./vendor/bin/ece-tools cron:disable

Magento Open Source:

sudo php bin/magento cron:remove

3. Start all message queue consumers manually to ensure all messages are consumed.

   bin/magento cron:run --group=consumers

Wait for the cron job to complete.

4. Create a backup of the composer.json file.

   cp composer.json composer.json.bak

5. Add or remove specific packages based on your needs.

For example, if you are upgrading from Magento Open Source to Adobe Commerce, remove the Magento Open Source package

composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update

You can also upgrade sample data.

Adobe Commerce:

composer require magento/module-bundle-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-widget-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-theme-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-cms-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-review-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-tax-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-grouped-product-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-downloadable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-msrp-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-configurable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-product-links-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-swatches-sample-data:100.4.* magento/sample-data-media:100.4.* magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-gift-card-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-balance-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-target-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-gift-registry-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-multiple-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* --no-update

Magento Open Source:

composer require magento/module-bundle-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-widget-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-theme-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-customer-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-cms-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-catalog-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-rule-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-review-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-tax-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-sales-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-grouped-product-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-downloadable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-msrp-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-configurable-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-product-links-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-wishlist-sample-data:100.4.* magento/module-swatches-sample-data:100.4.* magento/sample-data-media:100.4.* magento/module-offline-shipping-sample-data:100.4.* --no-update

6. Upgrade your instance using the following composer require-commerce command syntax:

   composer require-commerce magento/<product> <version> --no-update [--interactive-root-conflicts] [--force-root-updates] [--help]

Example - Minor release

Magento Open Source:

composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.0 --no-update

Adobe Commerce:

composer require-commerce magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.0 --no-update

Example - Quality patch

Quality patches primarily contain functional and security fixes. However, they can sometimes contain new, backward-compatible features. Use Composer to download a quality patch. For example, to specify the Magento Open Source 2.4.1 metapackage:

Magento Open Source:

composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3 --no-update

Adobe Commerce:

composer require-commerce magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.3 --no-update

Example - Security patch

Security patches contain security fixes only. They are designed to make the upgrade process faster and easier.

Security patches use the Composer naming convention 2.4.x-px. Use Composer to specify a patch.

Magento Open Source:

composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.3-p1 --no-update

Adobe Commerce:

composer require-commerce magento/product-enterprise-edition 2.4.3-p1 --no-update

7. Apply updates.

   composer update

8. Clear the var/ and generated/ subdirectories:

   rm -rf var/cache/*

   rm -rf var/page_cache/*

   rm -rf generated/code/*

9. Update the database schema and data.

   sudo php bin/magento setup:upgrade

10. Disable maintenance mode.

bin/magento maintenance:disable

Open your storefront URL in a web browser to check whether the upgrade was successful.

Answer 6

If you want to upgrade the Magento version kindly follow the below steps. First, you need to check the system requirements according to your Magento versions like PHP, elastic search, and MySQL.

1.Take DB backup

2. After taking a DB backup copy composer.json and composer.lock files and .htacess of the root and pub folder.

   cp composer.json _composer.json.backup

   cp composer.lock _composer.lock.backup

   cp .htaccess .htaccess_bakup

   cp pub/.htaccess pub/.htaccess_bakup

3. After the files backup disable all the third-party extensions and put the site in maintenance.

   php -d memory_limit=6G bin/magento module:disable module_name

   php -d memory_limit=6G bin/magento main:ena

4. After enabling the maintenance mode please run the below commands.

composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update

composer require magento/product-community-edition="2.4.4 version you want to upgrade" --no-update.

composer update

if you are getting error while composer update kindly take a reference of the fresh magento's composer.json and change accordingly in the your project's composer.json

5. After running the composer update command kindly run Magento's cmd. ## php -dmemory_limit=6G bin/magento se:up ## php -dmemory_limit=6G bin/magento se:di:co ## php -dmemory_limit=6G bin/magento s:s:d -f ## php -dmemory_limit=6G bin/magento c:f ## php bin/magento maintenance:disable

That's it your Magento version is upgraded successfully.
