Streamline workflow to export file entity content

Problem/Motivation

Export functionality treats "file" entity as any other exportable entity, meaning that "drush migrate_generator_export:export_related file file" will export a csv file dedicated to file entity content.

Same thing when exporting a media like "drush migrate_generator_export:export_related media image" with it's related content: Export functionality will export, among others, a csv for file content.

However import functionality treats files differently: no csv file is required for it. Files get process and imported when they are used among other entities: meaning that having file field specified in "media-image.csv" is enough to import both the media and it's file.

So the module is misleading in a few ways :

  • the file entity can be configured in /admin/config/content/migrate-generator-export/types
  • the file entity is exportable by "drush migrate_generator_export:export file file"
  • the file entity will be exported when including relations by "drush migrate_generator_export:export_related media image"
  • the output file entity csv file will break import"

Steps to reproduce

  • Use drush commands provided by module to export and import same content that includes a file

Proposed resolution

  • the file entity should not be listed in /admin/config/content/migrate-generator-export/types
  • the file entity should not be exportable by "drush migrate_generator_export:export file file"
  • the file entity should not be exported when including relations by "drush migrate_generator_export:export_related media image". Instead, "media-image.csv" should be generated ready-to-be-imported including related files
