New parser libraries are not available unless uninstall and re-install module

Created on 26 August 2024, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

When following the readme or documentation pages to add new parser libraries, the library is not available unless the markdown module is uninstalled and re-installed.

I think this could be as designed given the logic found in markdown_requirements(), but I'm not entirely sure.

Steps to reproduce

Enable module
Add new markdown library via composer, e.g. composer require michelf/php-markdown:^2.0
Go to /admin/config/content/markdown
Observe parser (e.g. PHP Markdown) is listed as unavailable
Expected behavior: parser is listed as available

I experience that a cache rebuild is enough to make the parser available. I think that that behavior is okay, though it would be cool if that is mentioned on /admin/config/content/markdown as also said in #3259945: Help text at /admin/config/content/markdown should say that a cache clear is needed to pick up new parsers → .

Shall we close this one as "works as designed"? Or does a cache rebuild not resolve the issue for you?
