Determine current OpenSkedge version

[jalewellyn]

Hello,

It has been some time since I installed OpenSkedge and since the time of installation it appears that considerable work has been done on this project. How do I go about determining what version I currently have installed?

I don't see the version number listed any where in OpenSkedge, nor do I see any references to the version in the source files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to upgrade if necessary.

Due to the pre-release nature of OpenSkedge, the only real versioning that exists are Git commit IDs. but these would only be available to you if your initial setup was through Git.

If you installed via Git, you should just be able to do git pull (potentially with some caveats, see Readme).

If you installed by copying over a git clone without the .git folder, or if you installed by downloading a zip version of the master branch, this is a bit more difficult.

If you can tell me the dates on the files, or the latest migration file you have in app/DoctrineMigrations, I might be able to narrow that down to a Git commit ID and you might be able to upgrade by simply copying the files over, but I wouldn't recommend that method. In this case, it would probably be better to backup your configuration file parameters.yml, backup your database, install from scratch (skip the doctrine commands, though), paste in previous configuration, and then continue from the upgrading steps.

Also, work will be happening soon on OpenSkedge 2. We hope to have a minimum-viable product for that in a number of months, along with migration tools for OpenSkedge 1 to 2. If the upgrade is not super pressing, you could wait (however, I have absolutely no estimates on when we'll have an OpenSkedge 2 MVP).
