when a core plugin was disabled during piwik core update, the core plugin's update was not actually executed? #11221

Error during creating goals on site: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'description' in 'field list'

Piwik version 3.0.1

Updated Piwik or new install?

I have used old Piwik database, but delete all files and install it from start. So it is similar to new install

Same problem here.
I installed PIWIK 3 new, but used an old PIWIK 2 database for transferring existing data.
Update to PIWIK 3.0.1 didn't help.
Error occurs when I try to create a goal.

try to execute a SQL query like this ALTER TABLE piwik_goal ADDdescriptionvarchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''. I presume the goal plugin was not enabled when you did the update.

@sgiehl @mattab there might be a bug in our updater. I presume when updating core that it also sets all core plugins to that new core version. However, when the plugin was disabled, the update was not actually executed. So either for core plugins we need to manage the updates in "core" updates or we need to fix to record new version only for activated core plugins.

That worked for me! Thanks a lot!

See https://github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/11438 the same also applies not only for core plugin updates but also to the dimension updates

@tsteur might that be fixed meanwhile? Did some local testing and for me the version of deactivated plugins didn't change in db. And when activating the after the update they triggered the included migrations / dimension updates that weren't executed

@sgiehl if you tested it, and updates of a deactivated plugin are executed later, then feel free to close it. Might be good to test with deactivated non-core plugins and deactivated core plugin.
