1. Sitecore Command Line Interface

Upgrade the Sitecore Command Line Interface to version 3

Version:

Sitecore Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool that you install in PowerShell.

Note

To install a new CLI installation, see Install Sitecore Command Line Interface.

To upgrade an existing CLI installation from version 2.0.0 to version 3.0.0:

  1. Update the Sitecore Management Services module.

  2. Update the NuGet source config file with the NuGet configuration:

    dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.sitecore.com/resources/v3/index.json -n sitecorenuget

  3. Upgrade the CLI version to version 3.0.0:

    dotnet tool install Sitecore.CLI --version 3.0.0

  4. Install the required Publishing and Serialization plugins:

    dotnet sitecore plugin add -n Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Serialization
dotnet sitecore plugin add -n Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Publishing
    Note

    The Publishing and Serialization commands became separate plugins as part of the Sitecore CLI NuGet extensibility release.

    After you install the plugins, the ser and publish commands are available, and the updated sitecore.json config file from your solution has a new plugins section:

    {
2  "$schema": "./.sitecore/schemas/RootConfigurationFile.schema.json",
3  "modules": [
4    "items/*/*.module.json"
5  ],
6  "plugins": [
7    "[email protected]",
8    "[email protected]"
9  ],
10  "serialization": {
11    "defaultMaxRelativeItemPathLength": 120,
12    "defaultModuleRelativeSerializationPath": "serialization"
13  }
14}

  5. You can check the Sitecore CLI version using the following command:

    dotnet sitecore --version

    If your CLI is updated successfully, It returns 3.0.0.

  6. To update the JSON schema, run the following command in your project folder:

    dotnet sitecore init

  7. You can check the installed plugins using the following command:

    dotnet sitecore plugin list

    If your CLI plugins are updated successfully, you will see the following message:

    List of plugins:
Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Publishing v.3.0.0
Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Serialization v.3.0.0
