How to apply patches to a distribution via the composer workflow

hi there,

i'm trying to play with open social, but ran into the following bug during install: #2822893: CommerceGuys\Intl\Country\CountryRepository causes failure on install →

now my question is, how to best apply/test such a patch with the distribution. do you have any documentation / guidance available or can point me to the proper composer workflow?

what i tried was installing the distro and then adding a package that depends on the feature branch into the top level composer.json

        {
            "type":"package",
            "package": {
                "name": "dev/open_social",
                "version": "1.0.0-beta4",
                "type": "drupal-profile",
                "source": {
                    "type": "git",
                    "url": "https://github.com/goalgorilla/open_social.git",
                    "reference": "feature/DS-2326-2822828-address"
                }
            }
        },

but you will end up with the following error

  [ErrorException]                                                                                             
  Argument 1 passed to Composer\Installer\InstallationManager::getInstallPath() must implement interface Comp  
  oser\Package\PackageInterface, null given, called in /Users/dasjo/am/opensocial/DIRECTORY/vendor/drupal-com  
  poser/drupal-scaffold/src/Handler.php on line 210 and defined

thanks :)

Very late to the party, but if you are landing here, just target goalgorilla/open_social

Example in your composer.json

"patches": { "goalgorilla/open_social": { "Issue": "https://www.drupal.org/[my-patch.patch]" } },
Where the patch targets

a/modules/social_features/social_*/files_to_patch
b/modules/social_features/social_*/files_to_patch
