Add upgrade notes about not being able to upgrade from v 4.3 and lower to v 4.7 and higher #1416
Comments
I'll grab this! But...hrrm....what does this actually look like? If I'm, say, 4.1.0 and I want to upgrade to 4.8.0, maybe I don't look at all the release notes? I just look at 4.8.0's? So, do we add a note on all release notes? Would I expect to see it in the "known issues" for 4.8.0? Or even the known issues for 4.4.0? The one upgrade issue on 4.4.0 is actually unrelated to this one. While it's a bit verbose, I propose updating all 23 of the current 4.x release notes to have an extra section:
In the case of existing content, we'll add this new warning above it. So on 4.3.0's release page, it would look like this:
@dianabarsan - what is the workaround if you don't read this and get the error above? Is it safe to just do the upgrade to 4.4 first and proceed? |
My 2c here is the fix to the view is probably quite straight forward and that it would be better to fix it and release patches to 4.7 and 4.8 rather than expect people to read release notes. |
I second @garethbowen 's idea if it's possible to fix. Users could attempt from any version, so for medic/couchdb-migration, we can throw error stating that it's not possible if there are such scenarios. |
ok - sounds good! I've opened medic/cht-core#9166 to track the fix and will close this ticket. |
Due to a new view that was added in 4.7, which requires the newer version of CouchDb, upgrading from any version pre 4.4 to any version post 4.7 will fail with:
This should be captured in upgrade notes.
