code_file

Writes, replaces or removes one code or design file below the allowed folders, with a backup and checksums.

A step of a YAML migration with type: code_file. The class expMigrationStepCodeFile (kernel/classes/migration/steps/expmigrationstepcodefile.php) is registered in settings/migration.ini [StepSettings] StepTypeList[code_file].

Modes

mode: is one of create, update, ensure, delete; without it, ensure.

Keys

KeyTypeModesDefaultWhat it is
pathstringallrequiredthe file, relative to the installation, below a folder of [FileStepSettings] AllowedRootList[] (design, extension)
sourcestringcreate, update, ensurethe new content: a file below the folder of the migration file (files/page.tpl)
contentstringcreate, update, ensurethe new content itself (instead of source:)
checksumstringcreate, update, ensurethe SHA-256 the new content must have (64 hex digits)
expectstringallthe SHA-256 the file must have before the step, or absent: it must not exist

Besides these, every step takes the keys of the engine: type, mode, if, references, environments, engines and comment (the file format). A key of type identifier names a node, an object or another part of the installation by id, remote id, path or name (identifiers).

Values for references

references: { <name>: <value> } keeps a value of the step's result as ${ref.<name>} for the steps and migrations after it:

ValueWhat it is
paththe file, relative to the installation
changedtrue when the file changed
beforeits SHA-256 before (empty: it did not exist)
afterits SHA-256 after (empty: removed)

Undoing

Every step of this type undoes itself when its migration is rolled back without down:.

It touches no cache.

Example

- type: code_file
  mode: ensure
  path: design/mysite/templates/page_footer.tpl
  source: files/page_footer.tpl
