The Great Upgrade #337

Open gregcorbett opened 2 years ago

gregcorbett commented 2 years ago

Several parts of GOCDB are in need of a version uplift.

There is an core chunk of stuff around PHP, Composer and Doctrine.

[ ] PHP: https://github.com/GOCDB/gocdb/issues/513, with 8.3 currently being the latest
[x] Composer - we use composer 1, which is being deprecated in favor of compose 2.
[ ] Doctrine - we use a version of Doctrine 2 which is no longer supported and Doctrine 3 is upcoming. There may also be some quick wins in this area, see #335 .

It's probably better to tackle this in a bottom-up/iteratively fashion (i.e. how high can we upgrade doctrine before we need to upgrade another component first) rather than a "go for the head" of going straight to PHP8 and dealing with the fallout.

Other things to update

[ ] Various JavaScript libraries, at the very least under htdocs/web_portal/javascript. We should also look at using CDNs for these, see #336 .

And many, smaller, pull requests are probably much better than big one that does everything.

we use composer 1, which is being deprecated in favor of compose 2.

Once https://github.com/GOCDB/gocdb/pull/509 and https://github.com/GOCDB/gocdb/pull/494 are merged, this can be ticked off as the composer files have been tested using and are supported by composer 2 (in fact, our environments are set up such to always use the very latest version of composer 2).

As an update on this - I see the next steps as:

Drop PHP 5.4 support: #494 - after 1st July 2024

Shortly after that, rebase and merge:

Unit test against more versions of MariaDB: #511
Update ORM to 2.11 (or as high as we can go above that, maybe even 3): #455

Sometime after those,

Add support for PHP 8+: #513.

509 and #494 are now merged!
