Re: [keycloak-dev] thoughts on file migration?

We have version already. It's "keycloakVersion" property on RealmRepresentation and it's added during export. This was added in 1.9.2.Final, so all the realm JSON exported in 1.9.2 or later will have that available . See https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-2613 . But it's not used anywhere until now. The problem are hand-written JSON files, which don't contain the "keycloakVersion" and they also don't contain required built-in objects. So we're usually trying to decide what built-in objects should be automatically added/updated during import on some best-effort basis, which sometimes doesn't work (especially if new role was added to some existing built-in client etc) . Maybe we can: - Decide if JSON was hand-written based on the "keycloakVersion" present or not. - For hand-written JSON, add the built-in objects automatically - For exported JSON, use the proper migrators. We know the version, so we know what migrators to run. Is it what you meant? Marek On 26/10/17 23:07, Bill Burke wrote:
