Pull Request for Issue #11117 .

Summary of Changes

Reverts #9655

There reason is simple. The new file that calls the post update deletion of the files get not called if you update from 2.5 to 3.6 ther for this needs to stay in the script.php too.

Testing Instructions

install 2.5
Update to 3.6
see the issue

Notice: Undefined property: LoginController::$input in ...administrator\components\com_login\controller.php on line 36
Fatal error: Call to a member function set() on null in ...administrator\components\com_login\controller.php on line 36

roll back to 2.5
install the update to 3.6 with the changes in this patch (or use this update server: http://www.jah-tz.de/downloads/core/list.xml)
there should be no issues on updating.

@wilsonge please have a look here if this can go into 3.6.1 too as exactly that happen what you guess in the original thread: c864a01

I just wanted to thank @zero-24 for this information and provide the error message I was receiving which was different. I was doing a migration today for an old site from j2.5.28 to j3.6 and ran in to a similar problem. The only difference was I received the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function isAdmin() on null in /plugins/system/stats/stats.php on line 87
When I used your update server the migration worked successfully!
I was not using the Statistics module but it was enabled in the extension manager. I first tried disabling it and then when that didn't work I restored the site from backup, disabled it once again, then uninstalled it, and still the problem remained. That is until I used this fix for the migration! Thank you again!

if i use this update server("http://www.jah-tz.de/downloads/core/list.xml"), joomla says: "Download of update package failed".
Is it correct that in the Options pane, i select "Custom url", and in the custom url textbox, i type: "http://www.jah-tz.de/downloads/core/list.xml"?

@markberk yes that is correct. Please try again. If it still not work (i can't reproduce the error) please wait for 3.6.1 which fixes the issue. Please switch back to the core supported update chanels!

FYI. I have uploaded this just 13 days ago and now we have more than 100 Downloads on that package that was for testing this PR only?! I'm going to remove this update server now. I hope you all have swiched back to the default update server after using mine else you will never get any update anymore!

@zero-24 aren't people forced to go to 3.6.0 now? but this fix is only included in 3.6.1+ right?

So any updating from 2.5.28 to 3.6.0 will still have error, right?

wilsonge - comment - 17 Aug 2016

Correct. So we changed it so that 2.5.x goes to 3.5.1 then 3.5.1 to 3.6.0 then 3.6.0 to whatever after updating joomla update. It's in the notes here: https://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5666-the-joomla-3-6-1-update.html

It's super horrible. But it's the best we can do :(

yes, it seems so.

so the migrate/upgrade path from 2.5.28 is:

  • 2.5.28 > 3.5.1
  • 3.5.1 > 3.6.0
  • update joomla update component
  • 3.6.0 > latest version

@wilsonge just came across this problem but reading this here the fix is in 3.6 but as the update goes to 3.5.1 then this pr doesnt fix anything

@brianteeman can you give us more details? And move that to a new issue so we can debug and fix the issue? ;)

hmm can you share the details in a new issue or via mail regardless so I can double check that case. As the updater is a important thing in our system I think we should analyse any errors that comes up even if we decide / found out that it is not a issue we can / need fix or it just popup random. 😄
