I have been toying with an install of ERPNext 7 Beta and it’s been great for me so far. The UI is working flawlessy with Chrome, when I customize a tabular view with columns the customization is applied with no problems, I love the calendar view on main module records like a Customer, etc.
If I haven’t had any problems thus far, its been perfect. With that, is it safe to just keep doing my data entry/porting into my ERPnext 7 install and then upgrade it to the official build when it’s ready? Or am I risking my data and I should create an ERPNext 6 install instead.
So, if you’re on ERPNext 7 right now, you won’t face issues at all when we move to ERPNext 7, because if you are on 7 right now, that means you’re on the develop branch of erpnext and frappe. When we release ERPNext 7 we will merge the develop branch into the master branch. So, you won’t even notice a difference.
However, running ERPNext 7 does have risks where one update could cause issues, because it’s still under development after all, and we constantly push changes to it, but it’s reasonably stable as of now. We use it ourselves.
Now, because you’re on develop right now, that means that once we do release, you’ll have to move to the master branch of frappe and erpnext, because they’ll be stable ERPNext 7 then, and we’ll continue development on the develop branch.
@vjFaLk, thank you so much! I feel confident to continue running on the beta until it’s pushed to the master branch, of then which I assume my commands will be:
bench switch-to-master bench update
I assume since I am on the beta, I won’t need to add the --upgrade flag to my bench update command after I have switched to master?
