Patch System - nijil/erpnext GitHub Wiki

Objective:

To maintain and run patches in the current/all databases.

Design:

• Patches will be maintained in erpnext/patches directory
• Each patch will be separate *.py file and can be submitted with any name
• There will be a patch_handler.py file in lib/py/webnotes/modules which will run patch file (single / multiple / all pending patches)
• Applied patch will be maintained in a table tabPatch Log in the corresponding database
• While running patches, the logged-in users will get a message to wait until the patch is applied in that account
• Patch will be applied through push patch only, no more issues in login time.
• There will a push_patch.py file to run patches in all accounts
