Can't Update Grav (v1.7.0-beta.10) to v1.7.0-rc.1 Via Admin

[OrthoCube]

I get the notification "Grav v1.7.0-rc.1 is now available" and upon trying to update, it says "Grav was successfully updated to v1.7.0-rc.1" but when I reload the page, the bottom part of the admin still says "v1.7.0-beta.10" and installing the plugin updates such as the Admin Panel results in "One of the packages require Grav >= 1.7.0-rc.1" so it might not be updated indeed.

I have "GPM Relases" set to "Testing", tried playing with the "Remote Fetch", "Official GPM only", "Remote Verify Peer" settings but unfortunately, to no avail.

My server does not allow access to GPM, so I can't upgrade from there.

I can download Grav from my server, update it via GPM locally, then update the files, but is there any other easier way to update?

Thanks!

I'm seeing an issue but a different error:

Fatal error: Cannot declare class Grav\Installer\Install, because the name is already in use in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/grav-admin-170b10/tmp/Grav-5dc438fb75fef/zip/grav-update/system/src/Grav/Installer/install.php on line 23

I think your issue is this: #2681

This is fixed in RC.1 but to get it you need to manually upgrade to RC.1

[rhukster]

BTW, admin again, trying with direct install, same with Fatal error: Cannot declare class Grav\Installer\Install error issue when using this URL: https://getgrav.org/download/core/grav-update/1.7.0-rc.1?testing

Steps for manual update of Grav 1.7.0-beta.X to Grav 1.7.0-rc.1 ONLY:

1. make sure you are at the root of your Grav installation
2. wget -O grav170rc1.zip https://getgrav.org/download/core/grav-update/1.7.0-rc.1\?testing
3. bsdtar --strip-components=1 -xvf grav170rc1.zip

We are using bsdtar to remove the top level folder and allow installation directly into the root. If you don't have this command, you can easily install it (e.g. sudo apt-get install bsdtar), alternatively you can unzip the grav170rc1.zip file somewhere else and cp all the files and folders back into your Grav installation so they get updated.

Thanks @rhukster. Worked like a charm. I did not have bsdtar installed.

Here were my steps.

cd your-grav-root-dir
sudo wget -O grav170rc1.zip https://getgrav.org/download/core/grav-update/1.7.0-rc.1\?testing
sudo apt install libarchive-tools
sudo bsdtar --strip-components=1 -xvf grav170rc1.zip
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ./*
sudo rm grav170rc1.zip

I am getting the Fatal error: Cannot declare class Grav\Installer\Install, because the name is already in use in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/grav-admin-170b10/tmp/Grav-5dc438fb75fef/zip/grav-update/system/src/Grav/Installer/install.php on line 23 error using MAMP on my Mac (1.6x -> 1.7 RC) - is the new RC on GPM yet or should I wait to test again @rhukster ?

[rhukster]

See my responses above @paulhibbitts

[paulhibbitts]

Thanks @rhukster , I did but maybe I am missing something? I was assuming for Admin Update with a standard PHP config (like MAMP) I could update Grav 1.6 -> 1.7RC without going to command line to install bsdtar?

[rhukster]

That issue is new, and we need to resolve it...

it seems to be related to ANY update to 1.7.0-rc.1 via Admin.

Thanks for the clarification, please contact me on Discord etc. if I can be of any help re: testing @rhukster
