Could not detect the location of "drupal/core"

Problem/Motivation

Upgrading to Drpal 10
Apache: Drupal: 9.5.4. PHP 8.1.12
When running upgrade status I got the Error message:
Could not detect the location of "drupal/core", please open an issue at https://www.drupal.org/project/issues/upgrade_status . Scanning is not possible until this is resolved.

But module shows all Modules

Steps to reproduce

I install the module using composer:
Composer require drupal/upgade_status

  • Hi, have you resolved it? I have the same issue

  • 🇧🇪Belgium mchvdm

    I had this issue as well and was able to solve it. Of course you might have an unrelated issue.

    In my core folder I had two folders (one was named 'b', the other was called 'core') with inside those folders another core folder.
    And in those two core folders there was a folder called 'modules' with a few module folders.

    See attached screenshot for clarity.

    After deleting both folders ('b' and 'core') the issue was fixed.

    I do not know where those folders came from, I did a lot of testing on that installation and it was an upgrade from a D8.

    Yeah if unrelated composer files are found, that would be a problem indeed. :)

  • 🇧🇪Belgium mchvdm

    Ah true, next to removing those folders I also removed the composer.json file that was residing in my root (/web) folder. Maybe that was the solution and not (just) the removing of the extra folders.
