Module Watcher 🔎

Module Watcher makes sure that you won't miss any update from your third-party modules installed on the Magento2-based projects.

The project is on MVP stage and has a lot of var_dumps() 😄

Requirements

• PHP 7.2
• Cron/CI system
• Git
• php mail()/Swift Mail/Slack

Workflow

1. Add a new project to the config file

Module Watcher has a common config files (possible to have a couple of them) that helps to declare and share watcher configurations. Example of the config file can be found under module-watcher.yaml.sample.

2. Install your project

Module Watcher uses Git to access your project branch you want to track dependencies on. Before watching you need to run project:install-projects command to make sure all projects and their configs are installed and ready to be watched.

It's good to run this command after adding a new project, changing actual branch or changing list of branches.

3. Watch Your Modules

After your config file is installed, you are ready to run project:watch command and get notifications about module updates.

It's convenient to run the command from Cron or CLI to constantly get notifications and don't forget about this action.

The command makes project branches up to date and then performs checks for Magento2 modules installed in all possible ways.
