Re: How to return to a previous plugin version?

[Michael Brohl]

Additionally, I'd recommend putting a component-load.xml in the plugins directory where you can specify which plugin(s) should be loaded and in which order.

component-load.xml

<component-loader xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://ofbiz.apache.org/dtds/component-loader.xsd";>
    <load-component component-location="mytest"/>
    <load-component component-location="mytest-2"/>
   <!-- <load-component component-location="mytest-current"/> -->
</component-loader>

For a quick change, simply comment out the plugins you do not need and restart ofbiz. You should be able to see the loading of your plugin(s) in the log like this: 2020-11-02 14:56:23,028 |main |CatalinaContainer             |I| Creating context [mytest]

Hi Georg,

What I suspect with a cursory reading is as you made a replica the values
of mount point etc may be the same
https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-plugins/blob/trunk/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml#L55

As you are new to OFBiz, I would recommend using the Gradle task to create
a new plugin instead of replicating it.

if you just want to play with it with various versions of same plugin. I
would recommend you is to initialise plugin as a local git repo and create
separate branches for drastic changes. This way it would easy to track the
changes also.

For testing I create a plugin, e.g. mytest: “gradlew
createPlugin -PpluginId=mytest”. To be able to fall back to a working
version, I frequently copy this plugin directory to e.g. mytest-1,
mytest-2
etc. When I decide to use the mytest-1 directory again, I rename the
directory I am currently working with to mytest-current and copy mytest-1
to
mytest. Then I restart ofbiz and expect that to work with this mytest
directory.

However, OFBiz seems to continue to work with the former current
directory.
E.g. I have made three menu items in mytest-current while I had just two
menu items in the older mytest-1 directory. After copying the mytest-1
directory to mytest and restarting OFBiz, I still have three menu items
displayed although there should be only two.

What could be the reason for this and what do I have to do to properly
fall
back to the state of mytest-1?
