Upgrading themes to 7.6

This article guides through the mandatory steps to update themes from 7.4.x to 7.6.0. It's does not cover what is necessary to migrate to the new build system.

Prerequisite

You need a built core UI! See Getting Started With Grunt. In a nutshell: git clone repository, setup (npm install, local config etc.), and build with grunt.

Steps

  1. First time: Clone the git repository. Make sure you're in the proper branch. Don't forget to git pull.
  2. First time: Run npm install
  3. Run grunt connect watch. If you already have a local grunt config for this repository, you're done. Otherwise you will be notified that coreDir is not configured. Grunt will offer you a command to get a basic grunt config (see next step)-
  4. Run grunt show-config:local --output grunt/local.conf.json
  5. Edit grunt/local.conf.json to have a proper coreDir. Just enter the absolute path to ui/build of the core UI. Also enter a running server.
  6. Run grunt connect watch again.
