Automation

There are some tasks that are done automatically when working on Yii:

  • Generation of the classmap classes.php located under the framework root directory. Run ./build/build classmap to generate it.

  • Generation of the @property annotations in class files that describe properties introduced by getters and setters. Run ./build/build php-doc/property to update them.

  • Fixing of code style and other minor issues in phpdoc comments. Run ./build/build php-doc/fix to fix them. Check the changes before you commit them as there may be unwanted changes because the command is not perfect. You may use git add -p to review the changes.

  • Updating the Mime Type Magic file (framework/helpers/mimeTypes.php) from the Apache HTTPd repository. Run ./build/build mime-type to update the file.

  • The ordering of entries in the CHANGELOG file can be updated by running ./build/build release/sort-changelog framework.

All of the above commands are included in the release process. They may be run between releases but it is not necessary.
