Shopware 6.5 - update from 6.4 using symfony flex

Question

I have installed Shopware 6.4.20.0 in my local dev environment using Shopware's new symfony-flex template. Now I want to update my local version to Shopware 6.5.

What is the best way to update my local installation to 6.5, from the commandline and using composer?

Running composer update alone doesn't do the trick, as the shopware/* packages in my composer.json are tight to 6.4.

Answer 1

You need to change the following packages to ~6.5.0 under the require part of your composer.json

• shopware/core
• shopware/storefront
• shopware/administration
• shopware/elasticsearch

Also under require remove shopware/recovery.

Then run composer update again. It may still complain that some packages can't be resolved due to version conflicts. Either try adding --with-all-dependencies to the command or if that doesn't work manually change the version to the newly required in the require-dev part. This would likely be the symfony/* packages that need to be changed to ~6.2.0. Then run the update command again until all the version constraints have been satisfied.

Afterwards run composer recipes:update, followed by bin/console system:update:finish to execute the database migrations.
