Is this possible to install+enable in one step?
May 27, 2013, 10:17:13 pm
Hi,

when I'm installing an extension that I have git cloned (ie. I have already the files in the extension folder), it needs two steps

drush civicrm-api extension.install key=eu.tttp.qlookup
drush civicrm-api extension.enable key=eu.tttp.qlookup

If I enable directly, I get "Can only enable extensions which have been previously installed"

Is there a way to enable in one step extensions that are already "installed"? eg a options.force=1?

X+

P.S. yes, I'm that lazy. And when you work on an extension that does a lot of stuff when you enable/install and you want to debug, you do it quite a few times per hour...

Hmm, there's something fishy. You shouldn't need to call Extension.enable at all -- Extension.install should take care of everything. If "Extension.enable" is necessary, then that's a bug in 4.2.x.

A few thoughts:
 * Maybe there's some cache that's no longer flushing appropriately? If it's easy to reproduce the problem, you might try doing: "drush civicrm-api extension.install key=eu.ttp.qlookup" and then "drush civicrm-api system.flush".
 * When I was using 4.2.x, this was never necessary.
 * When testing this, are you working on a site/database that has previously had the extension? "Enable" is supposed to be the anecdote to "disable" -- that's all.
 * There were times when one needed to delete the "tmp" / "cache" subdirs from the extension dir. From the description, I don't think it's necessary in this use-case, but maybe there's some detail that we're not thinking of.

FWIW, in 4.3, the "install" and "enable" actions do the same thing -- both wind up calling CRM_Extension_Manager::install() (which then decides whether to run the first-time install logic or the re-enable logic).
