README

Export and import the Magento url_rewrite table as CSV from the admin, with safety backups.

What it does

Export — one click downloads the entire url_rewrite table as url_rewrite_YYYY_MM_DD_HHmmss.csv. CSV columns mirror the database columns exactly (read live from the schema, never hardcoded). Streamed row-by-row, so memory stays flat on large tables. No queues.
Import — upload a CSV previously exported by this tool. Before any row is written:
- the CSV header is validated against the live database columns; an unknown column aborts the import;
- a safety backup of the current table is always written to var/rewrites/url_rewrite_<timestamp>.csv;
- if you did not export a backup through this tool first, you are warned.
Import options (admin-selectable, echoed back in the result for debug reports):
- Import mode — Upsert / Skip duplicates / Fail on duplicate.
- ID handling — Preserve url_rewrite_id from the CSV, or auto-assign new IDs.
- Truncate — optional checkbox to empty the table first; requires an extra JS confirmation.
Result table — after import, shows rows in file / imported / skipped (duplicates) / failed, plus the exact options used.

Admin page: System → Tools → URL Rewrite Import / Export.

Install

This module ships as a standalone Composer package, deployecommerce/module-url-rewrite-import-export.

Via a VCS / Packagist repository (deploy)

composer require deployecommerce/module-url-rewrite-import-export:^1.0
bin/magento module:enable DeployEcommerce_UrlRewriteImportExport
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:flush

Via a local path repository (development)

Add a path repository pointing at this checkout and require it as @dev:

"repositories": {
    "local-url-rewrite-import-export": {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "packages/module-url-rewrite-import-export",
        "options": { "symlink": true }
    }
}

composer require deployecommerce/module-url-rewrite-import-export:@dev

In a Docker setup whose vendor/ is a named volume, the path-repo target must be visible inside the container — mount this checkout into the project, e.g. /path/to/module:/var/www/html/packages/module-url-rewrite-import-export.

league/csv:^9.28 is a hard dependency (declared in this module's composer.json) and is pulled in automatically by Composer.

Tests (PEST)

The framework-free service classes (HeaderValidator, FilenameGenerator) are unit-tested with PEST. The harness is isolated under tests/ with its own composer.json because Pest 2 ships PHPUnit 10, which conflicts with Magento's bundled PHPUnit 9 — keeping it separate avoids the clash and never boots Magento.

cd tests
composer install
./vendor/bin/pest

Database-touching classes (Exporter, Importer, BackupWriter) are integration territory and are intentionally out of the pure-unit harness.
