Hello Rajesh,

the update process depends on how you installed OpenProject.
If you installed it via git (on branch stable) and run in production environment you can do the following:

Go to your OpenProject root folder and run

git pull
bundle install 
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Restart your server and you should be finished.

I forgot a step, before you run git pull run

git checkout Gemfile.lock

Thanks a lot Ratzi.

For the initial installation, I have followed the instructions from this link (but installed on RHEL) https://www.openproject.org/projects/openproject/wiki/Installation_Ubuntu

In this link Step 6 makes the clone of OpenPrject repository as follows:

_6. Clone the OpenProject repository.
git clone https://github.com/opf/openproject.git
cd openproject
git checkout stable_

So, I think your steps should work for me, I will try it and update back.

Rajesh

Hi Ratzi,

After executing these steps successfully, I tried to install the Costs plugin again. I am getting the similar error as before.

Paste the error below. I have followed the instructions from this link to install Costs plugin.

Hello Rajesh,

sorry for my late answer. The problem is that “git pull” don’t work. Here is how to fix it:

Go to your OpenProject root folder and run

git fetch
git reset --hard origin/stable 
bundle install 
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Best
Ratzi

Hi Ratzi,

I followed your instructions but now I get a “punc” error when precompiling the assets (see attached file). Any ideas?

Tom

Hello,

hmm ‘vendor/assets/components/angular-animate/angular-animate.min.js.map’ look like you run the dev and not the stable branch. If you tried the dev branch and you wanna use the stable now you should remove the ‘vendor/assets/components’ folder.
There are some risks on first try the dev branch and than switch back to stable branch particularly with a view to the database migrations so keep an eye on errors or start with a clean database.

Best
Ratzi

I gave the development branch a try before switching to production so back to a clean stable now. I deleted the whole openproject folder (although it wasn’t completely necessary) and then cloned the git again following the installation guide which didn’t take long.

I have different databases for development and production so switching between them shouldn’t be a risk, am I right?

Thanks for the tip ;)

Regards,
Tom

Hi,

I have done this to upgrade versión:

_Go to your OpenProject root folder and run
git fetch
git reset —hard origin/stable
bundle install
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
_

But now de theme is not charged
Ander

I’ve run “RAILS_ENV = production bundle exec rake assets: precompile” command!., and now I have this error “Application.initialize … [deprecated] I18n.enforce_available_locales will default to true in the future If you really want to skip validation of your locale you can I18n.enforce_available_locales September = false to avoid this message. ”

Can anyone help?

Please note that Ratzi’s answer was written prior to the release of OpenProject 4.0.
The stable branch now points to the current version of OpenProject 4.0 (and is updated to the current stable version of OpenProject).

OpenProject 4.0 has additional installation requirements compared to OpenProject 3.0.
A complete upgrade guide from OpenProject 3.0 to OpenProject 4.0 can be found in the download section.
