How to upgrade extension

Follow these steps to update the extension via сomposer:

  1. Back up your store's database and web directory.

  2. Log in to the SSH console of your server and navigate to the root directory of the Magento 2 store.

  3. Run the command below to update the current extension with all dependencies:

    composer require mirasvit/module-review:* --update-with-dependencies

    In some cases, the command above may not be applicable, or you may be unable to update only the current module. If that's the case, you will need to upgrade all Mirasvit modules in a bundle. The command above will have no effect in such scenarios. Instead, run the following command to update all Mirasvit modules installed in your store:

    composer update mirasvit/*

    If the retired Hyvä packages are still installed (mirasvit/module-review-hyva, mirasvit/module-comment-hyva, mirasvit/module-vote-hyva), the update takes them off by itself: Hyvä support ships inside the extensions, and newer versions tell composer they replace the old packages. Only Advanced Reviews 1.8.0–1.8.2, Comments 1.3.0–1.3.2 and Vote 0.1.0–0.1.1 refuse to sit beside them instead. If you are upgrading to one of those versions and composer show mirasvit/module-review still reports the previous version afterwards, remove the old packages and run the update again:

    composer remove mirasvit/module-review-hyva mirasvit/module-comment-hyva mirasvit/module-vote-hyva
    composer require mirasvit/module-review:* --update-with-dependencies

    If your store runs Advanced Blog MX on Hyvä, upgrade Blog MX in the same run: its old mirasvit/module-blog-mx-hyva package required mirasvit/module-comment-hyva until 2.2.4.

  4. Run the command below to enable extension:

    php -f bin/magento module:enable Mirasvit_Core Mirasvit_Review Mirasvit_Comment Mirasvit_Vote

    The Hyva_MirasvitReview, Hyva_MirasvitComment and Hyva_MirasvitVote modules are gone, not renamed — everything they did happens inside the modules above. setup:upgrade drops the old names from app/etc/config.php for you.

  5. Install the updates by running the following command:

    php -f bin/magento setup:upgrade
  6. Clean the cache by running the following command:

    php -f bin/magento cache:clean
  7. Deploy static view files:

    rm -rf pub/static/frontend/*; rm -rf pub/static/backend/*; rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/*;
    php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

    If you have the Hyva installed, run:

    php -f bin/magento hyva:config:generate
    cd /path/to/theme/web/tailwind/
    npm run build-prod
    cd /path/to/project/
    rm -rf pub/static/frontend/*; rm -rf pub/static/backend/*; rm -rf var/view_preprocessed/*;
    php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
