After attending my 10th Meet Magento in Germany (yes I missed one) and coming back to work, I think it is time for a short recap. This years Meet Magento probably was the biggest one in terms of number of attendants (800, according to the organizers). The location was at it’s limits for that amount of people. Luckily the weather was sunny so people could get outside and get some space. The next years Meet Magento will probably / hopefully…
The Imagine: The Magento event as such! To me as an USA newbie on the one hand interesting because the conference takes place in Las Vegas, to me as a frontend developer on the other hand interesting because you can learn much about how Magento itself, but the community as well – like other developers, agencies and webshop operators – are working with the e-commerce platform and continuously developing it further. Let’s start at the beginning: Las Vegas is truly…
It was the second time that I attended the Magento Imagine. Last year the conference was characterized by the motto „We are Magento“. This year the word „E-Commerce Platform“ stays in my mind. Before I start my summary of the conference, I would like to tell a little bit about our trip … We startet our #RoadToImagine from Frankfurt/Main. After a 9h flight we (Maria, Ralf, Alex and me) arrived in Houston (Texas). There we had time to grab some pizzas after a…
I recently had the issue that I needed to use the \Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup outside the setup-context. To be a bit more concrete, I wanted to import attribute-sets, attributes and attribute-options without using an install-script. My first idea was in magento2 you can easily inject the ‘EavSetup’ via constructor injection and then use it in your own class First try So I injected into my class which worked out well in the development-mode. /** * SomeAttribute constructor. * * @param \Some\Own\AttributeContext $context *…
There is a so far merely undocumented installation procedure for Magerun that is extremely handy in project configurations. You just require Magerun within the Magento project and you can then execute it from the vendor’s bin folder: $ composer require n98/magerun2 […] $ ./vendor/bin/n98-magerun2 –version n98-magerun2 version 1.3.2 by netz98 GmbH Afterwards if you commit the composer.json and composer.lock files it is a take-away for the whole team. So it is regardless whether you’re running it locally, inside a docker…

In case you haven’t read them and are interested in the details here are the links: History and Overview of Magento2 Deployment Jenkins Build-Pipeline Setup (building assets, controlling the deployment) Releasing to Production (delivering code and assets, managing releases) Future Prospect (cloud deployment, artifacts) During the time of writing those articles I realized quite some improvements and generalizations that could be…
The following blog post describes a a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. The described methods adding a comprehensive quality gate to your publishing workflow. If you are using SVN instead of GIT you can skip this blog post 😛 The framework was designed by Yelp three years ago. It brings many pre defined checks designed for a generated GIT pre-commit hook. Most of the checks are made to to run against python files. This is not a blocker…

In my recent task I was testing a web crawler script which uses Magento database information for the crawling requests. I have encountered the following error: Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘PDOException’ with message ‘SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away’ in lib/Zend/Db/Statement/Pdo.php:228 The Problem This error occured after around 45 minutes of script runtime. The script was written in a way that it was possible that there is no database interaction for a longer period. In consequence to that…
In the last couple of months, I started to dig deep into web security. I wanted to figure out, how the “dark side” works and how a hacker will act when he decided to penetrate my web application. So I downloaded a Kali Linux System, installed it on a virtual machine and started “hacking”… David Lambauerwww.davidlambauer.de
