Prerequisites

TIP
Before beginning an upgrade or a patching process, create an active branch from the Integration environment and check out the new branch to your local workstation. Dedicating a branch to the upgrade or the patch process helps to avoid interference with your work in progress.

The Quality Patches Tool is a dependency for the Cloud Patches for Commerce and the ece-tools package. To apply the latest patches, you must have the latest version of ECE-Tools installed. The minimum required version of ECE-Tools is 2002.1.2.

Apply a patch in a local environment

You can apply patches manually in a local environment and test them before you deploy.

To apply individual patches in a local development environment:

  1. Add the ‘QUALITY_PATCHES’ variable to the .magento.env.yaml file and list the required patches underneath.

    stage:
      build:
        QUALITY_PATCHES:
          - MCTEST-1002
          - MCTEST-1003
    
  2. From the project root, apply the patches.

    php ./vendor/bin/ece-patches apply
    

    The ece-patches apply command applies patches in the following order:

    • Required patches
    • Optional individual patches
    • Custom patches from the /m2-hotfixes directory
  3. Clear the cache.

    php ./bin/magento cache:clean
    
  4. Test the patches, make any necessary changes to custom patches.

Apply a patch in a remote environment

WARNING
We strongly recommend testing all patches in an integration or Staging environments before deploying to the Production environment.

To apply patches in a remote environment:

  1. Add the QUALITY_PATCHES variable to the .magento.env.yaml file and list the required patches underneath.

    stage:
      build:
        QUALITY_PATCHES:
          - MCTEST-1002
          - MCTEST-1003
    
    NOTE
    After upgrading to a new version of Adobe Commerce, you must re-apply patches if the patches are not included in the new version.
  2. Add, commit, and push the updated .magento.env.yaml file.

    git add .magento.env.yaml
    
    git commit -m "Apply patch"
    
    git push origin <branch-name>
    

Apply a custom patch

When you deploy, ECE-Tools applies all Adobe patches and any custom patches that you add to the /m2-hotfixes directory in the project root.

NOTE
All patch file names must end with the .patch extension.

To apply and test a custom patch on a Cloud environment:

  1. In the project root, create a directory called m2-hotfixes if it does not exist

    mkdir m2-hotfixes
    
  2. Copy the patch file to the /m2-hotfixes directory.

  3. Add, commit, and push code changes.

    git add m2-hotfixes/
    
    git commit -m "Apply patch"
    
    git push origin <branch-name>
    
    NOTE
    Make sure to test all patches in a pre-production environment. For Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure, you can create branches with the magento-cloud environment:branch <branch-name> CLI command.

Revert a custom patch

To revert or uninstall a previously applied custom patch:

  1. Delete the patch file from the /m2-hotfixes directory.

  2. Add, commit, and push code changes.

    git add m2-hotfixes/
    
    git commit -m "Revert patch"
    
    git push origin <branch-name>
    
    NOTE
    Make sure to test in a pre-production environment. For Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure, you can create branches with the magento-cloud environment:branch <branch-name> CLI command.

Apply patches to a non-Cloud project

Use the Quality Patches Tool for Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce projects.

Revert a patch in a local environment

You can revert all previously applied patches in a local development environment using the ece-patches CLI.

To revert all applied patches:

php ./vendor/bin/ece-patches revert

This command reverts all patches in the following order:

  • Reverts all applied custom patches from the /m2-hotfixes directory.
  • Reverts all applied optional individual patches.
  • Reverts all applied required patches.

Logging

The Quality Patches Tool logs all operations to the <Project_root>/var/log/patch.log file.
