Release notes archive for ece-tools

v2002.0.8

We merged vendor/magento/ece-patches with vendor/magento/ece-tools in this release. You no longer need to update the vendor/magento/ece-patches package separately.

New features

  • Improved logging

    • We improved log messaging to provide better explanations when the build or deploy process overrides an environment variable.

    • You can now view installation and upgrade progress in real time. Tail the install_update.log file to view progress. For example,

      1

      tail -f var/log/install_upgrade.log

  • New cron command—You can now unlock specific stuck cron jobs instead of stopping and re-launching all of them with the cron:unlock command. Not available in 2.1.

  • Unified configuration file—You can now configure build and deploy stages using a .magento.env.yaml file.

  • Backup configuration files—The deployment process now automatically creates a backup of the app/etc/env.php and app/etc/config.php configuration files after deployment. We also added a new CLI command to restore these configuration files from a backup.

  • Troubleshooting validation errors—We changed the command you must use to resolve validation errors when config.php does not contain enough data for static content deployment. Previously, the error message instructed you to run bin/magento app:config:dump. Now, you must run php ./vendor/bin/ece-tools config:dump.

  • New environment variables—You can now use environment variables to connect custom search and AMQP-based services to your site.

  • We implemented smart patching. Now the package applies patches based not on Magento Commerce Cloud version, but on patched package version.

Resolved issues

  • We fixed a logging issue that was causing build errors.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing timeout exceptions when running deployments in interactive mode.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing errors when using the compact strategy for static content generation. Not available in 2.1.

  • We fixed an issue that was preventing the deployment script from properly identifying staging and production environments.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing network issues to disrupt database connections and cause failures during the installation and upgrade process.

  • We fixed an issue preventing you from exporting the configuration files using app:config:dump more than once. Not available in 2.1.

  • We fixed a Redis session locking issue that caused an Admin login delay. Not available in 2.1.

  • We fixed an implementation issue related to versioning that was causing a conflict with other Composer-based patching modules.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing PHP memory issues during import.

  • Removed patch; fixing bug in colinmollenhour/credis v1.6 to enable support for Magento Commerce Cloud 2.2.1. Not available in 2.1.

v2002.0.7

Resolved issues

  • We removed var/view_preprocessed symlinking to fix an issue that was causing JavaScript minification conflicts.

v2002.0.6

Resolved issues

  • We fixed an issue that was causing gzip errors when a file or directory name contains spaces.

  • We fixed an issue that was preventing deployment scripts from properly recognizing and enabling module dependencies.

v2002.0.5

New features

  • Configure a cron consumer with an environment variable—You can now configure cron consumers using the new CRON_CONSUMERS_RUNNER environment variable.

  • Configuration scanning—We now scan for critical components during the build/deploy process and halt the process if the scan fails, which prevents unnecessary downtime due to the site being in maintenance mode.

  • Build/deploy notifications—We added a new configuration file that you can use to set up Slack and/or email notifications for build/deploy actions in all your environments.

  • Static content compression—We now compress static content using gzip during the build and deploy phases. This compression, coupled with Fastly compression, helps reduce the size of your store and increase deployment speed. If necessary, you can disable compression using a build option or deploy variable. See the following topics for more information:

  • Configuration management—We now auto-generate an app/etc/config.php file in your Git repository during the build phase if it does not already exist. The auto-generated file includes only a list of modules and extensions. If the file already exists, the build phase continues as normal. If you follow Configuration Management at a later time, the commands update the file without requiring additional steps. Refer to Deployment process for more information.

  • Database dumps—We added a new magento/ece-tools CLI command for creating database dumps in all environments. For Pro plan Production environments, this command only dumps from one of three high-availability nodes, so production data written to a different node during the dump may not be copied. We recommend putting the application in maintenance mode before doing a database dump in Production environments. See Snapshots and backup management for more information.

  • Cron interval limitations lifted—The default cron interval for all environments provisioned in the us-3, eu-3, and ap-3 regions is 1 minute. The default cron interval in all other regions is 5 minutes for Pro Integration environments and 1 minute for Pro Staging and Production environments. To modify your existing cron jobs, edit your settings in .magento.app.yaml or create a support ticket for Production/Staging environments. Refer to Set up cron jobs for more information.

Resolved issues

  • We fixed an issue that was causing long deploy times due to the deploy process invoking the cache-clean operation before static content deployment.

  • We fixed an issue causing errors during the static content generation step of deployment on Production environments.

  • We fixed an issue preventing some magento/ece-tools commands from logging output to stderr.

  • We fixed an issue preventing base URL values in env.php from being updated in forked branches.

  • We fixed an issue causing the magento setup:install command to add an unsecure prefix (http://) to secure base URLs.

  • We fixed an issue preventing patch errors from causing deployment failures.

  • We fixed an issue preventing ece-tools from halting execution and throwing an exception if no patches can be applied.

  • We fixed an issue causing errors when loading the storefront after enabling HTML minification in the Magento Admin.

v2002.0.4

Resolved issues

v2002.0.3

Resolved issues

  • We fixed an issue that was causing pages to time out because Redis was taking too long to read/write. You can now use the disable_locking parameter in Redis configurations to prevent this issue.

v2002.0.2

Resolved issues

  • The RabbitMQ configuration process now obtains all required parameters automatically.

v2002.0.1

New features

  • Magento Commerce Cloud now supports scopes and static content deployment strategies. We have added the –s parameter with a default setting of quick for the static content deployment strategy. You can use the environment variable SCD_STRATEGY to customize and use these strategies with your build and deploy actions. This variable supports the options standard, quick, or compact. If you select compact, we override the STATIC_CONTENT_THREADS value with 1, which can slow deployment, especially in production environments. Not available in 2.1.

  • We have created a new log file on environments to capture and compile build and deploy actions. The file is located in the var/log/cloud.log file inside the Magento root application directory.

Resolved issues

  • Refactored the ece-tools package to make it compatible with Magento Commerce Cloud 2.2.0 and higher.

  • We fixed an issue that was preventing ece-tools from halting execution and throwing an exception if no patches can be applied.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing exceptions to be thrown when dependency injection (di) compilation is skipped during builds.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing the deploy process to overwrite custom Redis configurations in the env.php file.

  • We fixed an issue that was causing redirect loops due to disabled by default secure admin.

v2002.0.0

This package is no longer compatible with other versions of Magento Commerce Cloud and should not be used.
