🐛 Install profile is disabled for lots of different reasons and core doesn't allow for that Fixed is in!

Most tests are failing because in TestBase setup() we do

$this->container->get('theme_installer')->install(['stark']);

and in ThemeInstaller we have

$extension_config
        ->set("theme.$key", 0)
        ->save(TRUE);

which also tries to validate the config and it breaks for ExtensionExistsContraint with error message 'Theme stark is not installed', which is true. I think we could add a check in ThemeInstaller before saving the key in the config, something like this-

if (!isset($installed_themes[$key])) {
        $extension_config
        ->set("theme.$key", 0)
        ->save(TRUE);
 }

, but I am not really sure about this.

• @phenaproxima thinks that ExtensionExists constraint doesn't make a ton of sense for core.extension see ( 3441503-#18 📌 Add validation constraints to system.theme Needs work ) for more details.
• Also discussed this with @phenaproxima in slack and concluded that if we want to use ExtensionExists constraint for core.extension then ExtensionExistsConstraintValidator should be completely refactored and use the ModuleExtensionList and ThemeExtensionList, which can report on existing-but-not-yet-installed things.

Tests are passing now

I feel that ExtensionExists should be whether the extension exists and we should have a separate constraints - the other constraint should be called ExtensionInstalled. However this is unfortunate because we already have ExtensionExists and it's current meaning is that it is installed.

Not sure what to do.

This is a difficult question. In my opinion ExtensionExists/ExtensionInstalled makes sense, but renaming this and after that reusing the name for the other meaning is difficult. Can we use ExtensionPresent to indicate that should be present on the file system?

Believe this needs work for the feedback mentioned in #16? Also is MR 7107 needed anymore?
