Upgrade Hyrax 3.x to Hyrax 4 - samvera/hyrax GitHub Wiki

Here are the steps to upgrade from Hyrax 3.x to Hyrax 4 (beta). During beta we would like to hear about additional steps needed to upgrade successfully, so please share! Edit this wiki page and share with the community.

Upgrade instructions - Getting started

These instructions are based on updating nurax to hyrax 4.0.

  • Update Gemfile to specify these gems:

    • gem 'rails', '~> 6.0.5'
    • gem 'hyrax', '~> 4.0'
    • gem 'sass-rails', '~> 6.0'
    • gem 'bootstrap', '~> 4.0'

  • run bundle update

    • If this command takes an abnormally long time to complete, try deleting Gemfile.lock and retry.

  • Update app/assets/javascripts/application.js as follows:

    • Change //= require jquery to //= require jquery3

    • Change //= require jquery_ujs to //= require rails-ujs (Note the hyphen)

    • Change //= require dataTables/jquery.dataTables to //= require jquery.dataTables

    • Change //= require dataTables/bootstrap/3/jquery.dataTables.bootstrap to //= require dataTables.bootstrap4

    • Add these three lines after //= require rails-ujs:

      //= require popper
//= require twitter/typeahead
//= require bootstrap

    • Add //= require blacklight_gallery after //= require blacklight/blacklight

  • Update app/assets/stylesheets/application.css as follows:

    • Change *= require dataTables/bootstrap/3/jquery.dataTables.bootstrap to *= require dataTables.bootstrap4

  • Update app/assets/stylesheets/hyrax.scss as follows:

    • Remove @import "bootstrap-sprockets";
    • Add @import "hyrax/blacklight_gallery"; after any other blacklight_gallery lines and before @import 'hyrax/hyrax';

  • In app/controllers/application_controller.rb remove skip_after_action :discard_flash_if_xhr

  • In app/models/user.rb remove:

    if Blacklight::Utils.needs_attr_accessible?
  attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation
end

  • Check that config/analytics.yml is updated to match the new format.

  • In config/initializers/hyrax.rb remove config.google_analytics_id setting.

  • In config/initializers/riiif.rb update capitalization of Riiif::Image.authorization_service = Hyrax::IiifAuthorizationService

Depending on the amount of customization present in your hyrax application, more changes may be needed. In particular, many Bootstrap CSS class names were updated in this release.
