Magento 2 Scripts
So, I made a GitHub Repo that contains scripts that can be downloaded and customised for your own use. I’ve kept them quite generic so that it’s more applicable to a wider group of people.
The problem
Entering a bunch of commands after you make a change is a boring task. It’s the same old thing after makind a Code/Styling change to Magento 2. In the past, I’ve circumvented this by stringing commands together onto a single line (using the “&&”). For example:
bin/magento setup:upgrade && bin/magento:di:compile
or
bin/magento cache:clean && bin/magento cache:flush
This is much more convenient than executing one line at a time. However, I still need to dig out my notes so I can copy and paste these commands whenever I need them.
The Solution
So, to optimise my workflow, I’ve created some scripts. That way, I only need to know the name of the script I wish to execute rather than dig out the whole string.
The Scripts
up_basic.sh
Very Basic. Typically ran after installing a light module or patch.
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
up_advanced.sh
Same as above, but includes clearing a bunch of caching. I’d run this after bigger code changes or upgrades.
rm -rf var/cache/* var/page_cache/* generated/code/* var/view_preprocessed pub/static/frontend/*
redis-cli flushall
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
bin/magento indexer:reindex
bin/magento cache:clean
bin/magento cache:flush
redis-cli flushall
up_frontend.sh
This one clears a bunch of caches if you’re only making frontend changes.
rm -rf var/view_preprocessed pub/static/frontend/*
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --area frontend -f
bin/magento cache:clean
bin/magento cache:flush
up_adminhtml.sh
This one clears a bunch of caches if you’re only making frontend changes.
rm -rf var/view_preprocessed pub/static/adminhtml/*
bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy --area adminhtml -f
bin/magento cache:clean
bin/magento cache:flush
The scripts are designed to stop instantly as a query exits while having a non-zero status (hence the
set -e). I’ve also added some Verbose feedback for the user (echo). Oh and a “Are you sure” prompt.
Installation
- Upload to
<magento root>/bin/(e.g.<magento root>/bin/up_basic.sh) - Ensure that the scripts are owner by the magento user (e.g.
magento www-data) - Set the appropriate permissions so only magento user can run the scripts (e.g.
chmod 744 bin/up_basic.sh) - Run the script at any time from the Magento Root Directory (e.g. bin/up_basic.sh)
Disclaimer
It’s my belief that these scripts are secure with the appropriate ownership and permissions. And I’m pretty sure it’s ok to store them in the bin/ folder. However, do so at your own risk as there’s every chance I might be wrong.
