Open Saas template update
Hi team,
I have the following questions:
• How can I find out which version of the Open SaaS template is used in my project?
• Is there a straightforward way to migrate from a previous version of the template to the new one?

Hi @Jorge. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To find out which version of the Open SaaS template is used in your project, you can check the dependencies in your
main.wasp file. The version of the Open SaaS template is not explicitly mentioned, but you can infer it from the versions of the dependencies used.
As for migrating from a previous version of the template to the new one, there isn't a straightforward way mentioned in the provided knowledge sources. However, you can manually update your project by comparing your current code with the latest code in the Open SaaS repository on GitHub and making the necessary changes.
Remember to always backup your project before making any significant changes. If you encounter any issues during the migration, you can ask for help in the Wasp community on Discord.
Please note that these instructions are based on the information available in the provided knowledge sources. For more detailed and specific instructions, you might want to refer to the official Wasp documentation or ask in the Wasp community.

Sorry @Jorge, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?Ah yes, that's a great question! I don't think we are writing the Open SaaS version anywhere, we just update them alongside Wasp versions. So in a sense, the Open SaaS version kinda is the Wasp version. But we do some minor changes in between Wasp versions, so that's not 100% correct.
Open SaaS doesn't really have a version since it's just a template from which you start developing your app. You can check out new stuff we release and manully copy paste stuff you want in your project - or start a new project and copy paste your code into it.
If you are not missing something from the newer releases of Open SaaS, there is no real reason to upgrade 🙂 The only thing it's good to update is the Wasp version. For those we always include migration instructions in the docs.
Thanks for your clear and detailed answer, good to know 🙂
To add to this: you are not supposed to be updating your OpenSaas, at least not in any way of formal updates. It is "just" a project starter: initial code that you start with.
I see, I understand the mindset of OpenSaas better now. Thank you! I previously had more of a framework-oriented vision.
Awesome! So the framework behind it is Wasp -> so with Wasp, you get all the version updates and stuff. But OpenSaas is just a project starter / boilerplate for Wasp.
