Description:
In versions of Build Hooks prior to 8.x-2.4 a record of entities to be deployed was stored using dblog module, in the watchdog table.
The issue with this is
- DBLog module is not recommended for production, for performance reasons
- Watchdog entries can easily be removed
- There is no way to link to updated entities because log entries are not the same as entity-references
After this change, a deployment is tracked using a new Deployment content entity.
Changes to other entities are tracked in a contents field, which is a Dynamic Entity Reference field that references any updated entities. This allows for powerful integrations because the actual reference is stored.
Deleted items are stored in a multi-value text field.
Because of this change, there are two deprecations as follows:
- \Drupal\build_hooks\DeployLogger::LOGGER_CHANNEL_NAME is deprecated, with no replacement
- \Drupal\build_hooks\DeployLogger::getLogItemsSinceTimestamp is deprecated with no replacement, interact with the Deployment entities instead
Impacts:
Site builders, administrators, editors
Module developers
