Drupal Core Roadmap for Automatic Updates

📌 Split up UpdaterFormTest to speed up test runs: from 13.5 to 10.5 minutes Fixed landed!

(And moved [#319679] + 📌 Make build tests fail 1) more explicitly, 2) earlier when possible (failing StatusCheckEvent subscribers) Fixed + #317815: cannot change php or .htaccess file, cannot find code mentioned → from the bucket to the bucket.)

New post-MVP issues:

• 📌 Drupal core's coding standards forbid translated exceptions, but does that anyway — f.e. FileValidationException Active
• 📌 Add build test to test cweagans/composer-patches end-to-end Closed: won't fix

📌 Remove all fixtures except for one: `fake_site` Fixed landed and triggered a new post-MVP issue: 🐛 Document that StageFixtureManipulator should not be used in build tests Active .

(Also: #80 was wrong 😅 — got it right and all up-to-date in #82, but still have to undo what I did in #80.)

29 remain (34 actually remain, but of which 5 are postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

Adding

1. 🐛 Hard failure after module install if composer is not found Needs review
2. ✨ Make StageEvent::$stage a public readonly property, and remove getStage() Fixed
3. 🐛 $tempStore property of stage was removed Fixed — already fixed

30 remain (35 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

completed 📌 Mark FailureMarker @internal and document ComposerUtility, PathLocator and ValidationResult Fixed

✨ Make StageEvent::$stage a public readonly property, and remove getStage() Fixed also landed.

Adding 🐛 UnknownPathExcluder doesn’t consider hidden files Fixed and 📌 Decide which classes should be internal and/or final — delete ExcludedPathsTrait, make CollectPathsToExcludeEvent richer Fixed .

30 remain (35 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

Moved one issue to the right place.

📌 Remove `@requires PHP >= 8.0` annotation from all tests Fixed and 🐛 UnknownPathExcluder doesn’t consider hidden files Fixed landed!

28 remain (33 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

Landed:

1. 📌 Rename validator methods to `validate` unless there different methods for different events Fixed
2. 📌 Add new InstalledPackagesList which does not rely on Composer API to get package info Fixed — Which was somehow missing?!?! 😱 → unblocked several issues: 📌 Tighten ComposerPluginsValidator: support only specified version constraint Fixed and 📌 ScaffoldFilePermissionsValidator should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed (which in turn blocks another issue).

Closed: 🐛 anonymous ProcessOutputCallbackInterface class ComposerInspector::getConfig() assumes __invoke does receive any data in error buffer Closed: duplicate .

26 remain (31 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

New: 📌 Create an API for base requirement validators which run before other validators and stop event propagation if they fail Fixed , blocking 🐛 Hard failure after module install if composer is not found Needs review .

27 remain (32 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

A lot has happened in the past 48 hours!

Landed:

1. 📌 Dynamically copy scaffold file mapping when create fake_site fixture Fixed
2. 📌 Always catch \Throwable, not \Exception, and pass the old exception when re-throwing. Fixed
3. 📌 Refine multisite detection: many aliases for a single site is fine! Fixed
4. 🐛 Fix PHPStan violations (happened because PHPStan code checks stopped running…) Fixed

New:

1. 📌 Stop reusing core's commit-code-check.sh in favor of 4 simple commands Fixed — already landed

28 remain (33 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

I learned from @Wim Leers and @tedbow that some of the issues in the alpha blockers list are a consequence of trying to remove the dependency on composer/composer within tests. I just want to point out that the scope of 📌 Remove our runtime dependency on composer/composer: remove ComposerUtility Fixed is to remove the runtime dependency on that. It's okay to leave composer/composer as a dev dependency, since it already is that for core anyway.

So if it helps to move some of the issues for refactoring tests to not use composer/composer to post-alpha, I'd be +1 to that, so long as we think that the tests are still sufficiently reliable without that refactoring.

Landed 📌 Add a validate() method to ComposerInspector to ensure that Composer is usable Fixed .

Added 📌 Make ComposerInspector::getVersion() private Fixed .

Landed: 📌 Make ComposerInspector::getVersion() private Fixed

Added:

• 📌 ComposerInspector::validate() should throw ComposerNotReadyException instead of \Exception Fixed
• 📌 ComposerInspector::validate() should run `composer validate` Fixed
• 📌 Do not disable package_manager.validator.composer in tests Fixed — already landed

28 remain (33 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

📌 Run `composer validate` after FixtureManipulator commits its changes Fixed landed.

@tedbow, @Wim Leers, @lauriii, and I met and discussed the alpha vs beta classification of many of the issues.
The issues that were moved to a new Beta section are no less important to the codebase or the end user, but they could happen after an initial commit to a dev branch of core.

See https://www.drupal.org/about/core/policies/core-change-policies/experime... → for more distinction on alpha vs beta.

Wim Leers → credited lauriii → .

Thanks — #96 + #98 look great!

And thanks for fixing what I got wrong in #97! 🙈😄

Credited @lauriii because @tim.plunkett did not have the necessary permissions.

Landed: 📌 ComposerInspector::validate() should run `composer validate` Fixed

• package_manager: alpha: 11 remain
• package_manager + automatic_updates: alpha + beta: 27 remain (32 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

📌 Remove dependency on symfony/finder Fixed was blocked for months. It's now unblocked. That's why it's now also clear that we won't need an issue to add symfony/finder as a new core dependency. But we will need that for symfony/config. I already reported that on Dec 9.

@longwave already responded favorably. I just posted a patch there, and am adding it to this issue.

I'm also making it more clear which issues are core issues already — of the 12 remaining (now 13), there are 3 core issues. Finally: this did not yet link to the issue where this module will be added to core: ✨ [PP-1] Add Alpha level Experimental Automatic Updates module Needs review . Fixed that too.

• package_manager alpha blockers: 13 remain, 10 are under our control, 3 are issues to add core dependencies
• package_manager + automatic_updates alpha + beta blockers: 28 remain (33 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

🐛 Drop support for end-of-life versions of Composer Fixed landed while I was writing #102 🚀

• package_manager alpha blockers: 12 remain, 9 are under our control, 3 are issues to add core dependencies
• package_manager + automatic_updates alpha + beta blockers: 27 remain (32 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

📌 Remove dependency on symfony/finder Fixed landed.

Removing 📌 Add symfony/config to core's dependencies for package_manager Closed: duplicate in favor of 📌 Remove dependency on symfony/config Fixed , which sidesteps the problem completely and doesn't require core (or Package Manager!) to add additional dependencies.

📌 Remove dependency on symfony/config Fixed landed!

Indeed! 😊

• package_manager alpha blockers: 10 remain, 8 are under our control, 2 are issues to add core dependencies
• package_manager + automatic_updates alpha + beta blockers: 25 remain (30 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

📌 Refactor exception architecture Fixed is done!

📌 Update FixtureManipulator to work with InstalledPackagesList, real composer show command Fixed landed, and unblocked 📌 ScaffoldFilePermissionsValidator should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed + 📌 ComposerPatchesValidator should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed .
📌 Create an API for base requirement validators which run before other validators and stop event propagation if they fail Fixed landed

New beta blockers:

• 🐛 PackageManagerKernelTestBase::assertResults ignores event class Fixed — already landed
• 🐛 InstalledPackage::$path for metapackages should be NULL Fixed
• 🐛 Update every ComposerValidator-dependent validator to have explicit test coverage that that dependency works Needs work

New beta blockers which are blocking 📌 Remove our runtime dependency on composer/composer: remove ComposerUtility Fixed (see #3316368-23: Remove our runtime dependency on composer/composer: remove ComposerUtility → ):

• 📌 Updater should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed
• 📌 ExtensionUpdater should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed
• 📌 \Drupal\automatic_updates_extensions\Form\UpdateReady should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed
• 📌 \Drupal\automatic_updates_extensions\Form\UpdaterForm should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed

• 📌 RequestedUpdateValidator should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed
• 📌 VersionPolicyValidator should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed
• 📌 \Drupal\automatic_updates\Form\UpdateReady should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed

Forgot to move 📌 Update FixtureManipulator to work with InstalledPackagesList, real composer show command Fixed !

• package_manager alpha blockers: 9 remain, 8 are under our control, 3 are issues to add core dependencies
• package_manager + automatic_updates alpha + beta blockers: 39 remain (44 actually remain, but 5 of these are automatic_updates-specific and hence postponed because we want to land package_manager first)

📌 Remove our runtime dependency on composer/composer: remove ComposerUtility Fixed is listed as an alpha blocker, which would make the 15 new beta blockers at the bottom of #109 actually alpha blockers. But @tim.plunkett, @lauriii, @tedbow and I kept #3316368 as an alpha blocker — I because proving that it can in fact be removed is an alpha blocker, but actually finishing it is not? We need to get clarity on this.

@tedbow discovered a new alpha blocker: 🐛 FixtureManipulator should only use Composer commands, rather than manipulating JSON directly Fixed .

😬

🐛 FixtureManipulator should only use Composer commands, rather than manipulating JSON directly Fixed is done!

And so is 📌 UnknownPathExcluder should use ComposerInspector instead of ComposerUtility Fixed .

Also clarifying the the alpha roadmap is for ✨ Add Alpha level Experimental Package Manager module Needs review since we first want to land Package Manager in 10.1 to enable Project Browser to also land in 10.1 because Automatic updates is blocked on d.o infrastructure and will definitely not make 10.1. ✨ [PP-1] Add Alpha level Experimental Automatic Updates module Needs review is slated for 10.2 at this point.

I just merged 📌 Tighten ComposerPluginsValidator: support only specified version constraint Fixed . Nice to get that beta blocker in!

🐛 Unhandled Composer Stager exceptions leave the update process in an indeterminate state Fixed and 📌 Add symlink support to Composer Stager 2.0, require that version, and simplify UX & tests accordingly Fixed are in.

That means we are down to our last remaining alpha blocker...and it's something that requires review from core committers. 😎

📌 Enable unattended updates Fixed landed, and so did 📌 Add functional test that proves there is reasonable UX whenever Composer Stager operations have a hard failure Fixed and 🐛 ComposerValidator's hook_help() integration is imprecise and incomplete Fixed . 📌 Optimize Composer calls in FixtureManipulator Closed: works as designed was closed as was 📌 Add build test to test cweagans/composer-patches end-to-end Closed: won't fix .

AFAICT missing:

1. 📌 Use the rsync file syncer by default Fixed
2. 📌 Add Symfony Console command to allow running cron updates via console and by a separate user, for defense-in-depth Fixed
3. 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed

AFAICT obsolete:

• 📌 Research alternatives to curl request on post apply event during cron updates Closed: outdated
• 🐛 automated_cron should not run cron when visiting update.php Active

Moved 📌 Enable unattended updates Fixed to completed.

Added a nice green checkmark to the Core Alpha Experimental blockers for Automatic Updates section :)

Removed the green checkmark from the Security section of package manager alpha blockers, since there's an open issue in that section.

Added some more core and infrastructure issues to the package manager alpha blockers list.

Moved the following to Completed:

• 📌 Add functional test that proves there is reasonable UX whenever Composer Stager operations have a hard failure Fixed
• 📌 Package Manager should keep an audit log of changes it applied to the active codebase Fixed
• 🐛 ComposerValidator's hook_help() integration is imprecise and incomplete Fixed

Removed the following, but did not move to Completed, as they were closed without fixing.

• 📌 Optimize Composer calls in FixtureManipulator Closed: works as designed
• 📌 Add build test to test cweagans/composer-patches end-to-end Closed: won't fix

Added:

• 📌 Use the rsync file syncer by default Fixed
• 📌 Add Symfony Console command to allow running cron updates via console and by a separate user, for defense-in-depth Fixed
• 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed

For the two possibly obsolete issues mentioned in #171, I added notes by them that they might be obsoleted by 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed , but I didn't remove them from the list in case 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed doesn't work out for whatever reason (though I think it will work out).

I think all points from #171 were resolved, so removing the assignment to @tedbow that that comment added. @tedbow: please feel free to reassign to yourself if there's something else you want to update here.

Added:

• 📌 Override Composer Stager's TranslatableFactory to return Drupal's TranslatableMarkup Fixed
• 📌 [PP-1] Require PHP-TUF's Composer integration plugin Postponed

Issues tagged core-mvp that aren't in the issue summary. Either they should be added to the issue summary or their core-mvp tag needs to be removed:

• 📌 Is it an error if drupal/core has no scaffold file mappings? Active
• 🐛 As of Composer 2.5.5, `composer config` JSON-encodes boolean values Fixed
• 🐛 PHPStan error in core merge request conversion Closed: outdated

Added 🌱 [policy, no patch] Make PHP's OpenSSL extension a requirement for installing and using Package Manager (and therefore, Automatic Updates and Project Browser) Fixed and 🌱 [policy, no patch] Should Package Manager require Composer HTTPS? Active as alpha-blocking policy questions in the core queue.

Added https://github.com/php-tuf/composer-stager/issues/68 to the testing section of the alpha blocker list. I think it's important for us to know the approximate time it takes to execute the full set of preconditions and make a decision on whether that's acceptable or needs optimization or refactoring. If full automation turns out to be too large a task, we can discuss alternate ideas for how to satisfy the alpha-blocking concern but let's see how that issue progresses first.

1. @effulgentsia re #182 why would that issue be an Alpha blocker as opposed to Stable or Beta? It is because it slow core's test down? It seems like an Alpha module should not have to have all the performance problems already solved.
2. Removed 🐛 Hosting environment (e.g. cPanel) may add additional files (including symlinks) to the project, which breaks AU Postponed: needs info . We now support most symlinks since 📌 Add symlink support to Composer Stager 2.0, require that version, and simplify UX & tests accordingly Fixed and we exclude must paths in the base of the project as reported in this issue since 📌 Exclude unknown paths in project base: only allow vendor + web root + whatever drupal/core-composer-scaffold allows Fixed . The issue is postponed instead of fixed to allow the original posted to report back but we aren't aware of remaining problems
3. Moving 🐛 Update every ComposerValidator-dependent validator to have explicit test coverage that that dependency works Needs work to Stable blocker
4. Moving 🐛 Validate PHP version to be used by the Composer process calls Needs work to Stable blocker. We have only seen this once. @phenaproxima is going to propose a simpler solution on the issue
5. Leaving 📌 Make readiness check failure messages clear, consistent, and actionable Needs work as stable blocker for now but I asked for an issue summary update to clarify exactly what the problem is. Depending on the result we may take it out of the roadmap
6. Removed 📌 Improve UX for trusting additional composer plugins Active . This is really a feature request that could be done after stable. Also not clear we want to move the ability to opt-in composer plugins to the UI as understanding the compatibility concerns requires deep understanding of how the system works
7. 🐛 Document that StageFixtureManipulator should not be used in build tests Active removing. This is testing request. The tests would be totally fine if we never did this. Assigned to myself to see if we can just close this issue

📌 Override Composer Stager's TranslatableFactory to return Drupal's TranslatableMarkup Fixed is in; our final translatability blocker!

📌 Remove work arounds for 10.0.x support Fixed . This is should a small issue we can do at anytime but would make use not compatible with 10.0.x. Being compatible with 10.0.x makes us be able to do minor updates in the contrib module

Moved these to Done:

• 📌 Add Symfony Console command to allow running cron updates via console and by a separate user, for defense-in-depth Fixed
• GH-CS-68: Perform and automate performance testing of Composer Stager's preconditions
• 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed

Removed these, since they were closed as outdated:

• 📌 Research alternatives to curl request on post apply event during cron updates Closed: outdated
• 📌 Assert status checks pass as early as possible in kernel and functional tests Closed: outdated

Removed all of the alpha-blocking categories with no remaining issues in them, and replaced them with a "Miscellaneous" category, for easier scanning.

Minor formatting tweaks.

Removing the "contrib-only" tag. Not sure what its intended meaning was earlier in this issue's history, but at this point, this issue is all about tracking what's needed to get Automatic Updates into core.

Removed 🐛 automated_cron should not run cron when visiting update.php Active as obsoleted by 📌 For web server dependent unattended updates run the entire life cycle in a separate process that will not be affected by hosting time limits Fixed .

Replaced 🌱 [policy, no patch] Should Package Manager require Composer HTTPS? Active with its child issue 🌱 [policy, no patch] Disallow using Package Manager (and therefore Automatic Updates and Project Browser) when Composer's disable-tls setting is true Needs review .

Added 🌱 [policy, no patch] Consider whether to keep Package Manager and Automatic Updates in a separate repo/package than core in order to facilitate releasing updates to the updater Needs review as another alpha-blocking policy question.

added #3352216: Securely sign Drupal core packages, even though they are hosted on GitHub/packagist directly →

Made it clear we are blocked on 📌 [policy, no patch] Use Update XML in Package manager to determine release support status Active for our path to core

Adding 🌱 [policy, no patch] How much of The Update Framework integration is needed for alpha-level review/commit of Package Manager? Needs review to our roadmap because this issue to our roadmap because even though I assume this has been decided the issue has not actually been closed, so it would be good to get clarity

Completed 📌 Document when PostApplyEvent should be used instead of hook_update_n() or post update RTBC

Fixed 📌 Ensure exceptions thrown by event subscribers are logged Fixed , 📌 Should we only show RC for pre-releases of core in the form? Active

Removing 📌 Assert no errors after creating the test project in ModuleUpdateTest Needs review . It is still open but now only affects automatic_updates_extensions

Fixed 🌱 [policy, no patch] Make PHP's OpenSSL extension a requirement for installing and using Package Manager (and therefore, Automatic Updates and Project Browser) Fixed and added newly created 📌 Require not just reccomend openssl extensions Active

Added 📌 Add getType to StageBase to allow subclasses to be internal Needs review

Moving completed issues to the completed section.

Finished 🐛 Create a test (or tests) to prove Package Manager works with submodules as implemented by packages.drupal.org Fixed

Updating "Core Merge request planning"

Is this roadmap still current or is there a better one?

@Gábor Hojtsy it is not current but this is the only one. I need to update it
