How to update the Client Code to the Latest Release.
N.B. Before doing any update, it is recommended that you take a backup of your code and data. It is then recommended to delete the old code first and then paste the new one in order to avoid forgetting deprecated files in the environment.
Updating the Client Code is very straight forward but you must first ensure that your configuration and customisations are retained:
-
\client\config\config.json. -
\client\internationalisation\label\*.json. -
\client\css\app.bootstrap.guideline.css. -
\client\index.html. -
\client\image\*.
FYI, you can use the free comparison tool by TortoiseGit referenced in the Developer Tools Wiki page.
Compare the configuration file and merge any differences against the new downloaded one. Please leave in place any new entry and accept any removal.
Compare only the internationalisation files that you use (e.g. en.json) and merge any differences against the new downloaded one. Please leave in place any new entry and accept any removal.
Compare the CSS file and if the Bootstrap version HAS NOT changed then overwrite the file entirely. Otherwise, you must recompile a new version of the CSS file by using the latest Bootstrap version available for download at the Client API Library. Please refer to the documentation about customising and compiling the Bootstrap CSS available at the [Client API Library - Bootstrap].(https://github.com/CSOIreland/Client-API-Library/wiki/Bootstrap).
Compare the configuration file and merge any differences against the new downloaded one. Please leave in place any new entry and accept any removal.
Do not replace the \client\image\ folder.
If replaced by mistake, then restore it from your backup.
If any issue arise, just roll-back the environment using your backup and log an Issue describing the problem.
FYI, you can double check the successful update of the Client Code by verifying the Version number at the bottom-right of your application's footer.
