Diff plugins should update after fields are removed

Created on 18 December 2018, almost 6 years ago
Updated 31 May 2024, 6 months ago

When I export site configuration, I get the file diff.plugins.yml. It contains a lot of entries like this:

    field_foo:
      type: core_field_diff_builder
      settings:
        show_header: 1
        markdown: drupal_html_to_text

If I decide to remove field_foo, then I would expect the corresponding entry to be removed, but it is not.

Maybe the diff.plugins config item is supposed to depend on the config for all those fields.

    Could this work? It clears the deleted field's config from config/sync/diff.plugins.yml when the field is deleted.

    To test:

    1. Add a new field to e.g. a content type.
    2. Run drush cex and make sure you see the field in config/sync/diff.plugins.yml.
    3. Delete the field.
    4. Run drush cex again and make sure the field's not there anymore.

    I tested this patch with vanilla D10.1 this seems works as Tuuuukka reported. In some setups the diff.plugin.yml config changes are exported only after saving the /admin/config/content/diff/fields form but I guess this is the way the diff configs are updated / detected. After saving the settings form the patch works as expected.
