  • Ticket #51857 – Description

    initial v5  
    11When a core auto-update fails, core has long had the ability to automatically attempt a "rollback" to the latest stable release (in the branch that the site is running).  Note: for core auto-updates, "rollback" is not attempted for certain failures (e.g. "disk full", etc).
    22
    3 This capability should be extended to be available for plugin and theme auto-updates.

     5[note: originally this description mentioned `auto-updates`...that was a mistake on my part.  This is about rollback for both `manual` and `auto-updates`]

    57The current functionality for core rollbacks relies on the availability of a "rollback" package being returned by the Updates API.  It is unclear (to me, at this time) whether extending this functionality to plugins/themes will require changes to the API or not.

    7 **Important:** This ticket is **not** about backup/restore in case a site admin later determines that a `successful` plugin/theme update actually causes problem on a site!!!!  Rather it is about covering cases such as #51823, where a plugin/theme auto-update failure happens between the time the existing plugin/theme is deleted but before the new version successfully installed.
