Clarity on drush make support in 2020

Hi Tanc.

Whilst it may seem cheeky after so many years, I wanted to check whether this issue is still required?

I want to get the queue I to a more manageable state so contributions can be more responsive.

Please either set back to Active if still required or Closed (outdated) if not.

Thanks

Hi Rachel, the question is still valid, it would still be nice to be able to install dependencies of a module in some way so that it is possible to provide a demonstration in simplytestme of that module.

But it's not something I can't live without (I've managed without for the last 6 years lol!)

So, for D8 and beyond, that is achieved through dependencies declared in the module’s composer.json file and we know that is working in stm.

Are you specifically needing drush make dependency support for D7 or something?

No, definitely just D8 and beyond. I guess I'll need to try again to see whether things are working after all this time. I'll put this back to postponed until I have a chance.

Just to be clear, the dependencies are JavaScript libraries. I don't suppose you have an example of a module where this is working so I can follow along?

The most basic answer to that question is if it is listed in Packagist, then you can simply reference it. Even if it is a js library

If not, it get more complicated.
