Live: Attempting to upgrade Magento Open Source 2.3.5 to 2.4.4 (Experiments & Research)

[@chandler68]

Great job! I have upgraded a lot of Magento version time and I think it's not an easy job!

[@rekhagemsneelamgemstonedea413]

Can you tell me cost of upgrading 2.3 to 2.4.4

[@DigitalstartupUk]

I've no idea, sorry.

Hello sir please make a video for per product select shipping method in frontend.

I'll post an update soon on whether I fixed the issue or not. Going from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 didn't seem to be an issue. But upgrading to 2.4.4 seem to throw all sorts of issues I'd never seen before. I wonder if I start over, I'll see the same issues. PROGRESS UPDATE (SUCCESS!!): digitalstartup.co.uk/t/success-upgrading-magento-open-source-2-3-5-to-2-4-4-experiments-research/2381

I haven't made the jump to 2.4 yet from 2.3.7-p3 due to our own issues, lol, but I think your issue here is that "magento/composer-root-update-plugin" is not in the composer.json file on the Github, so you have to require that in first, update, then use 'composer require-commerce' (which is using that update plugin package we just required) to upgrade Magento. The Adobe upgrade guide states: "WARNING The procedure for upgrading Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source has changed. You must install a new version of the magento/composer-root-update-plugin package (see prerequisites). In addition, the commands for upgrading have changed from composer require magento/ to composer require-commerce magento/." I also just want to say that your content was invaluable when I was just getting started in Magento. It was completely overwhelming, and your videos and blog posts got me through when I had 0 idea what I was doing, and just want to say thank you!

Yeah, I did throw 'composer-root-update-plugin' back in once I realised that I'd have replaced it when copying 'composer.json' from github, but alas. I bet when I start again that I don't even run into the same issue, because sods law says things won't go as planned when live 😃 I'm really glad that the curated content helped though. I originally started doing this to help me, because I'd inevitably forgot how to do things myself. It's great that others can benefit from it.

[@DigitalstartupUk]

I updated but i don't feel happy because this update brings more headache :S This worked for me 1. composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin ~2.0 --no-update 2. composer update 3. rm -rf var/cache/* ; rm -rf var/page_cache/* ; rm -rf generated/code/* ; 4. bin/magento setup:upgrade 5. composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.4 --no-update 6. composer update if: Type Error occurred when creating object: Magento\Framework\Communication\Config\Data Overwriting method getParamType public_html/vendor/magento/framework/Reflection/TypeProcessor.php 550 str. replace : Original: return $this->resolveFullyQualifiedClassName($param->getDeclaringClass(), $type); With this: return $type; 7. CHANGE TO PHP 8.1 8. rm -rf var/cache/* ; rm -rf var/page_cache/* ; rm -rf generated/code/* ; bin/magento setup:upgrade i currently stayed on 7.4, alot of modules arent supporting 8.1 even stripe.. cant finish di compile on 8.1.. and theme looks kinda broken little bit, so i dont know should i update our production servers/stores with this 2.4.4
