I'm trying to add a new table to an existing plugin. I can't add it to the Install migration as I want existing installations to pull the change.
The problems I ran into:
php craft migrate/create) from the plugin folder (as opposed to the project folder)migrations folder of the plugin I can't get the root project to identify and run it.What is the best practice for this kind of change?
can't run Craft CLI (php craft migrate/create) from the plugin folder (as opposed to the project folder)
From the project folder run:
php craft migrate/create my_migration_name --plugin=my-plugin-handle https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/extend/migrations.html#creating-migrations
If I add a migration manually to the migrations folder of the plugin I can't get the root project to identify and run it.
I have managed to run it manually:
php craft migrate --plugin=my-plugin-handle For Craft to run the new migration on update you need to increase the schemaVersion of the plugin under the Plugin Class (Defaults to 1.0.0). e.g:
public string $schemaVersion = '1.0.1'; However, it seems that migration needs to be added to Install migration as well for fresh installations, which would require code duplication or extracting the migration into a service class or trait. Though I can't see this pattern followed in Craft Commerce for example (https://github.com/craftcms/commerce/tree/develop/src/migrations).
