WordPress Upgrade Task Runner

Register custom migration tasks that can be triggered from a dashboard in the admin and run via AJAX.

Requirements

PHP >= 8.1
WordPress >= 6.2

The required WordPress version will always be the most recent point release of the previous major release branch.

For both PHP and WordPress requirements, although this library may work with a version below the required versions, they will not be supported and any compatibility is entirely coincidental.

Installation

To install this library, use Composer:

composer require thefrosty/wp-upgrade-task-runner:^2

Getting Started

If a new task is needed, there are only two required steps that are needed.

1. A class needs to be created and this class needs to extend the AbstractTaskRunner class. See the ExampleMigrationTask example class.
2. Register the new task class via the TaskLoader::REGISTER_TASKS_TAG filter:

use TheFrosty\WpUpgradeTaskRunner\Tasks\TaskLoader;

\add_filter(TaskLoader::REGISTER_TASKS_TAG, static function(array $tasks): array {
    $tasks[] = new \Project\SomeCustomTask();
    return $tasks;
});

The task class

When a class is added, it needs to have a few pre-defined class values. Both the DATE and TITLE constant are required to be unique. These are what registers a one off cron task when manually running the task from the admin page.

The TaskLoader

Add the new class as a property in the TaskLoader class and instantiate it in the register_tasks method (just like the ExampleMigrationTask).

CLI

Run all registered tasks (not already run) via wp-cli: $ wp upgrade-task-runner.

CLI OPTIONS

 [--task=<class>] : The fully qualified registered task to run.
 [--user=<id>] : The user ID to associate with running said task(s).
