I ran into an InstallException ( 🐛 InstallException when trying to install Pathauto via the ProjectBrowser UI Postponed: needs info ) when trying to install Pathauto via the Project Browser UI.
the current error message recommends that the page is restored from a code base backup. me as a user wasn't aware that there is the possibility that an installation could get corrupted requiring/recommending a restore from backup. for automatic updates there is the recommendation reminding the user to back up their data- and codebase before starting an update #3239759: Remind users to back up their database before starting an update → , for project browser there isn't any. but in this case without a backup at hand, from a users perspective i would feel helpless based on that type of error and given recommendation.
/admin/config/development/project_browser in addition to the experimental label for the allow installing via the UI maybe or instead add a reminder on /admin/modules/browse in case the install via the UI option is active. This needs steps to reproduce, or it can be closed.
This message no longer appears in the codebase of AU, PM, or PB. I also think we're adequately handling error messages in 📌 Review all pop-up messages shown by the Svelte UI installer for user friendliness Needs work .
