How to properly update the IMI module

[petermacdonald]

To update IMI on our server, would "git pull" do it?

Or do I need to follow the same steps as the initial Installation?

That is, 1) clone the module, then 2) run "composer install".

Pardon my inexperience with composer.

Hi Peter, all depends on how far away you are from your last git pull.

Normally a "git pull" should work out and that is enough. Once that works out i would recommend to do a test ingest and see if the interface is still what you remembered. Please make sure you update your Google Credentials inside the IMI admin interface since some caches and tokens could end being invalidated making accessing your google spreadsheets impossible

If composer.json has changed since your last pull (last change was a year ago) then YES to 2), you need to do a composer install

Side note: composer update is for the brave, or for dev. Since it will try to get all packages to its newest versions skipping the lock that sets proven versions. I will update composer.json for Islandora 7.x-1.12 release when we do again house cleaning

TODO: this needs to go into documentation
@kllhwang refining IMI documentation is something you could help with?

Thank you for the IMI updating advice. BTW. We at Hamilton College can't use the functionality the IMI offers that uses Google Credentials because our college Google accounts cannot use that Google service (it is not a service the college permits). So I get around it by exporting my GSheets to CSV and importing the CSV file into the IMI, which works just fine for me. Peter
