How to add Gecoder 3.x | 4.x providers

Restoring the issue summary. @bogdog400, use the "Comment" field to reply rather than the issue summary.

@bogdog400:

I tried several solutions here. Finally #56 worked for me. I believe that adding the right provider module from the beginning is essential.

Thanks for all of your help.

Doh. Sorry.

This time you completely wiped the "Issue summary" field. Only post in the comment field, don't change anything else.

Tried everything here but number #56 seems to be the simplest. Running D10.1 with PHP 8.1 and apache (with Seven theme.. don't judge 😏)

Steps that worked for me-
1. Uninstall geocoder_field, geocoder_address and geocoder_geofield
2. If provider is installed it should now show at /admin/config/system/geocoder/geocoder-provider
3. Edit > configure > save provider
4. Reinstall geocoder_field, geocoder_address and geocoder_geofield

The provider is missing again in the select list but is showing under Active Providers as seen in the screenshot. Hope this gets a permanent fix in case I need to switch providers in the future! (I didn't try the patch)

Tried #56, I was able to select Google maps provider but when I tried to configure the geofield, I got the error:
Drupal\Component\Plugin\Exception\PluginNotFoundException: The "googlemaps" plugin does not exist. Valid plugin IDs for Drupal\geocoder\ProviderPluginManager are: random, file, kmlfile, geojsonfile, gpxfile in Drupal\Core\Plugin\DefaultPluginManager->doGetDefinition() (line 53 of /app/web/core/lib/Drupal/Component/Plugin/Discovery/DiscoveryTrait.php)

Phew, this one is still fun to fix if you install geocoder before composer-requiring the providers. I was using just geocoder, and none of the other modules (using the geocoder field in Leaflet maps).

I think the method that finally worked for me was:

1. drush pm:uninstall geocoder
2. drush cr
3. Restart Webserver and PHP processes (Apache, php-fpm, OpenLitespeed, lsphp, etc.)
4. drush pm:enable geocoder

Tried everything.
Only #64 works, thanks @khaldoon_masud

Geocoder 3.47

Talking about the order of installing relevant geo modules my experience was the following:
First step: Install geofield and create a new field of type geofield in your content type.
Second step: After that install/activate geocoder, choose and save a geocoder provider.
Third step: Modify the field created in step one and activate geocoding from the source you apreciate.

Followed instruction in readme, managed to add provider but on enabling geocode_address the provider was removed
