[#30927] - [4.0] mod_search - phantom module
- Closed

- Build: master
- # 30927
Steps to reproduce the issue
Upgrade joomla 3.10alpha to joomla 4beta
Expected result
com_search and its plugins and modules are still present - the docs say there will be an update site for this now uncoupledextension.
I should alternatively be able to uninstall the component and its associated plugins and modules
Actual result
Create a new module
Oh that looks strange it says mod_search not Search - never mind create the module anyway
Go to Extensions: Manage
Oh that looks strange it says mod_search not Search - never mind uninstall it anyway
Explanation
During the second stage of the update this script is run administrator/components/com_admin/script.php which is for removing files
It is removing the code and language file for mod_search
As nothing else for the search component is removed then this probably should not be removed either. OR if it is going to be removed then all of search should be removed INCLUDING the sql record in #__extensions
This record in #__extensions is what is creating the phantom record in the list of extensions

Also thanks for the reping!
As far as I understand we should not delete the record in database and also not delete the files and folders because com_search might be present when updating, except that the maintainers of com_search decide to keep completely separate versions for J3 and J4 without any migration path, so the J3 component has to be removed. But I don't think that's the way to go.
So PR #25559 has to be extended by ignoring the com_search files and folders when creating the list of files and folders to be deleted for adding that to script.php. => Ping @wilsonge .
