This is a system of reporting outdated composer dependencies that are used in a project. Originally, it was designed to be used on Magento 2 based projects where custom modules are frequently installed via Composer. However, the idea is platform-agnostic.
- PHP 7.1
- CRON/CI system
- Sendmail
- Git
File robo.yml.dist should be copied to robo.yml file where all configuration changes should happen. Things can be configured:
- project retoristory configurations
- watcher directory configurations
- report email configurations
- report dependency blacklist configurations
The system is based on Robo task framework.
RoboFile.php is an extensible point that adds two commands (described in Commands section).
After installing the system (clonning the repository and running composer install), it's needed to adjust configurations and install the project via watcher:install command.
Finally, the second command watcher:check-outdated-dependency should be run by scheduler or CI system.
This one helps to install everything that is needed to watch for project dependency updates.
Configurations from robo.yml and robo.yml.dist in the root of project is used while installing.
This one is used for checking whenever project has any dependency that is outdated. Collected project update report is being sent by email. Dependencies can be blacklisted to keep project update report clean and useful.
There are two types of reporting:
- email:
./vendor/bin/robo watcher:check-outdated-dependency email - CLI:
./vendor/bin/robo watcher:check-outdated-dependency
