How to upgrade an add-on dependency in kitconcept.core

This document describes how to upgrade the version of an add-on in kitconcept.core.

Note

This process assumes that you have installed uvx in your machine. If you haven't, please follow the instructions in the uvx documentation.

1. Update the add-on version on the dependencies key of backend/pyproject.toml. (example: kitconcept.voltolighttheme>=8.0.0)

2. Run make upgrade to update the lockfile

3. Create an upgrade step on kitconcept.core:base profile. We at least need a null upgrade step, so that the migration tool has a chance to upgrade all dependencies listed on kitconcept.core.factory.LocalAddonList.

       <genericsetup:upgradeStep
        title="Upgrade dependencies"
        handler="..utils.null_upgrade_step"
        />
   

4. Add other steps to modify settings if needed.
