Module compatibility being incorrectly reported

Thanks for reporting this. What method are you using to attempt the update to 6.0.0-rc1, and what error message are you getting, specifically?

My apologies for any confusion. I say "attempted" because I was attempting to resolve the issue by updating from 6.0.0-beta4 to 6.0.0-rc1. I use composer to manage module updates. There wasn't any error with the update, and the module appears to function properly.

The issue was (and remains) the fact that the module is appearing in reports (in the Drupal admin) as Not Compatible and version 6.1.0-rc1 is listed as the recommended version even though I am not on Drupal 10. From what I understand from the module page, version 6.0.0-rc1 should be the correct, recommended version since I am running Drupal 9.5.

In my case, the module should not be listed as Not Compatible and version 6.1.0-rc1 should not be recommended.

The core_version_requirement in the module's .info file is correct, so I don't know what the source of the issue is.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I'll reclassify this as a "Support request" rather than a bug and do further investigation. So long as sites running Drupal 9 or 10.0 can update to 6.0.0-rc1 and sites running Drupal 10.1+ can update to 6.1.0-rc1, this can be a "Normal" priority rather than "Major."

Hi,

In my regards the issue is, that LinkIt version 6.1.0-rc1 is being recommended as the latest update on Drupal v9.5.7. This should not be possible, as said version only works with >= Drupal 10.

Attached is a screenshot for the issue.

Based on my initial research, this is a limitation of how the Drupal core "Update" module interprets the core_version_requirement.

See:
- #3113992: The 'Update' page has no idea that some updates are incompatible →
- #3115432: Add logic to figure out the latest/recommended release a site could update to with the currently installed version of core →

I've adjusted some of the settings for the 6.1.0-rc1 release for now to see if the Update module will now recommend the 6.0.0-rc1 release instead.

For folks coming here, confused about what they should do:

1. If your site is running on Drupal 9, or on Drupal 10.0.x, you should use 6.0.0-rc1
2. The 6.1.0-rc1 release is in place for when Drupal 10.1.0 is released, which includes a major version update of CKEditor 5. When you update to Drupal 10.1.x, you will need to concurrently update to Linkit 6.1.x

Setting the issue category back to "Support request".
