Drupal Core Dev (DDEV plugin)

Context of the fork

I maintain this fork of justafish/ddev-drupal-core-dev for my own tinkering. I have diverged parts of it from the upstream, so please be aware that my requirements may differ from yours.

I keep the upstream branch aligned with the upstream along with anything I may be looking to get merged upstream.

Ping @sime in #ddev-for-core-dev on Drupal Slack.

Philosophy

1. I'm working on Drupal core: Drupal repo first, tooling is secondary.
2. My tooling never makes "git status" dirty.
3. My tooling doesn't alter the Drupal application.

Setting up

# Clone the Drupal core codebase into the current directory.
git clone https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git drupal
cd drupal

# Configure and start a minimal DDEV project.
# This creates a .ddev folder and DDEV manages its own .gitingore
# Using SQLite, so skip mysql container with --omit-containers=db
ddev config --omit-containers=db --disable-settings-management
ddev start

# Use DDEV to install Drupal's composer dependencies. The host machine does not need PHP.
ddev composer install

# Get the latest release of this plugin. This adds files to the .ddev folder.
ddev get simesy/ddev-drupal-core-dev
ddev restart

Installing and Testing

# This plugin provides a "drupal" command, see what it offers.
ddev drupal list

# Install (or re-install) Drupal.
ddev drupal install minimal

# Run a small sample of PHPUnit tests.
ddev phpunit core/modules/text/tests/src/Functional/GenericTest.php

# Run Nightwatch tests.
ddev nightwatch --tag core

# Todo, I have temporarily removed a lot of examples here.
