Now that you have your Rector properly configured with your customization, either via MLP or custom code you can continue with a dry-run or run rector automatically.

Dry-run Rector

Dry-run gives you the opportunity to see what Rector has found and will execute/change before it actually does it on your behalf.

it's time to dry-run rector by executing the following command.

/path/to/RECTOR/vendor/rector/rector/bin/rector/bin/rector process --clear-cache --dry-run > php83.diff

Dry run produces a very detailed output file (if you spooled it off to a file) containing the diff and the list of rector rules that were applied to make your code compatible with PHP 8.3 (which we configured it to)

 [OK] 1 file would have changed (dry-run) by Rector

Execute Rector

If your dry-run is clear or you are ready to let Rector auto-update your code, now it's time to get a second git commit to "clear" the system so we know exactly what rector has done to our system.

Prepare Git

sh-3.2$ git status
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   config_override.php
        modified:   custom/application/Ext/Include/modules.ext.php

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/BuildingBlock_HelloWorldDashlet.php
        custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/orderMapping.php
        custom/clients/
        custom/modules/ActivityStream/
        custom/modules/Forecasts/Ext/clients/
        custom/modules/pmse_Project/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Commit

sh-3.2$ git add . && git commit -am "Before Rector"
[master 33a18416] Before Rector
 422 files changed, 96500 insertions(+)

Execute

Run the rector process once again, but without --dry-run and --clear-cache options as the cache is up to date (the process should look like this):

➜  sugar git:(master) /path/to/RECTOR/vendor/rector/rector/bin/rector/bin/rector process                                           
 10/30 [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░]  33%

* This may take time, depending on the complexity of the code. In some cases, this can take more than an hour.

After Execution (Git diff)

Once finished, Rector will provide a similar report to the dry-run, but now those files have actually been modified in the filesystem.

By executing git status you should see all the changes ready to work on PHP 8.3 (or depending on the config you specified)

sh-3.2$ git status
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/BuildingBlock_HelloWorldDashlet.php

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Congratulations, you now have your code compatible with PHP 8.3.

You can now commit your new code as follows:

sh-3.2$ git add . && git commit -am "PHP 8.3 upgrade refactor"
[master 7ad3bf22] PHP 8.3 upgrade refactor
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

Executing Rector

Now that you have your Rector properly configured with your customization, either via MLP or custom code you can continue with a dry-run or run rector automatically.

Dry-run Rector

Dry-run gives you the opportunity to see what Rector has found and will execute/change before it actually does it on your behalf.

it's time to dry-run rector by executing the following command.

cd /path/to/sugar && rector-0.15.24/bin/rector process --clear-cache --dry-run > php82.diff

1 file with changes
===================

 * CountOnNullRector (https://3v4l.org/Bndc9)

 [OK] 1 file would have changed (dry-run) by Rector

Execute Rector

If your dry-run is clear or you are ready to let Rector auto-update your code, now it's time to get a second git commit to "clear" the system so we know exactly what rector has done to our system.

Prepare Git

sh-3.2$ git status
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   config_override.php
        modified:   custom/application/Ext/Include/modules.ext.php

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/BuildingBlock_HelloWorldDashlet.php
        custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/orderMapping.php
        custom/clients/
        custom/modules/ActivityStream/
        custom/modules/Forecasts/Ext/clients/
        custom/modules/pmse_Project/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Commit

sh-3.2$ git add . && git commit -am "Before Rector"
[master 33a18416] Before Rector
 422 files changed, 96500 insertions(+)

Execute

Run the rector process once again, but without --dry-run and --clear-cache options as the cache is up to date (the process should look like this):

➜  sugar git:(master) rector-0.15.20/bin/rector process                                           
 10/30 [▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░]  33%

* This may take time, depending on the complexity of the code. In some cases, this can take more than an hour.

After Execution (Git diff)

Once finished, Rector will provide a similar report to the dry-run, but now those files have actually been modified in the filesystem.

by executing git status you should see all the changes ready to work on PHP 8.2 (or depending on the config you specified)

sh-3.2$ git status
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
        modified:   custom/Extension/application/Ext/Include/BuildingBlock_HelloWorldDashlet.php

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Congratulations, you now have your code compatible with PHP 8.2.

You can now commit your new code as follows:
