Shaping the tools I use every day, one pull request at a time
A hand-picked selection: only the contributions worth reading about, not every merged pull request.
Fix the escaping example in the view models guide — on GitHub
Official docs showed $block->escape…() for output escaping and had the @var annotation the wrong way round. Documentation is copy-pasted into production more often than anyone admits.
Escape table names so encryption key rotation survives them — on GitHub
Table names containing special characters broke the generated SQL mid-rotation — a bad moment to discover a quoting bug, given what the tool is re-encrypting.
Prefetch orders to kill an N+1 in the admin grid — on GitHub
The orders grid issued one query per row for Mailchimp data. Prefetching cut over 20% of the grid load locally — more on any environment with real network latency to the database.
Install ps so Magento integration tests stop crashing — on GitHub
Without ps in the image, Magento’s memory estimation fell through to its Windows code path and died with sh: tasklist.exe: not found. A genuinely great error message to debug on Linux.
Run ExtensionChecker without a working Magento install — on GitHub
The dependency scanner required a fully bootstrapped Magento, which is precisely what you do not have when auditing a pile of modules in CI.
Correct the documented PHP compatibility range — on GitHub
composer.json and reality both said PHP 8.1 worked; the README still said otherwise, and teams believe the README.
Fix ignored date parameters in the transaction backfill command — on GitHub
taxjar:transactions:sync -f 2022/02/10 silently ignored the date: the observer read from/to while the command passed from_date/to_date. Every backfill quietly synced the wrong range.
Cache the repeated category query in ElasticSuite — on GitHub
Blackfire showed the same database call executed three times while rendering a category page. Kept the result in an object cache for the request.
Extract request-to-model mapping into a hydrator — on GitHub
Adding one field to a menu meant inheriting the whole Save controller. With a hydrator service, an after plugin is enough.
Only merged work is listed here, and only the parts worth a comment — the full history, including everything still in review, lives on GitHub.
Join the Inner Circle
The entities, validators, ACL features and search indexes were already there — nothing exposed them. Added the commands,
/api/sales/invoicesand/api/sales/credit-memosroutes, credit memo events, document number sequences and audit-trail keys across 15 files.
