Missing steps in CONTRIBUTING.md

Manually visiting /xb/node/1 following step #7 is a winner though (fyi)!

Wondering if we can make things even easier by assuming contributors will use ddev and @traviscarden's add-on, which makes installation even easier: https://github.com/TravisCarden/ddev-drupal-xb-dev?tab=readme-ov-file#in...

Updated I.S. the xb link in toolbar works on HEAD now.

Since this is the contributing doc, shouldn't we be doing a git clone of the experience_builder source during setup?

composer require --prefer-source drupal/experience_builder

The will add eb to the composer.json file and do a git clone all in one step. HOWEVER, the git clone will be checkout out to the latest release tag and not the needed development branch. So we'd need to add this line after:

cd modules/contrib/experience_builder; git checkout 0.x

Do we want to mention `nvm use` before the `npm install` command? That's definitely an optional step though, I'd bet it still builds on newer node.js versions.

FYI 📌 CONTRIBUTING.MD is nearly impossible to follow without insider drupal knowledge Active . I am not following either of these but so not sure if they are dealing with the same sections of the file

Related to #6 🐛 Missing steps in CONTRIBUTING.md Active , it slightly confused me when I was following instrucitons in CONTRIBUTING.md and I didn't clone experience builder. Given that, I think right before line 3 in the descriptions we should have either:

3. composer require --prefer-source drupal/experience_builder
4. cd modules/contrib/experience_builder; git checkout 0.x

or

3. mkdir -p modules/custom & git clone git@git.drupal.org:project/experience_builder.git modules/custom

Basically need to cover getting a git checkout of Experience Builder in the docs.

FYI: 📌 CONTRIBUTING.MD is nearly impossible to follow without insider drupal knowledge Active was also done by @luke.leber, who opened this issue 😊 So most of the concerns reported here have already been addressed there.

@longwave in #4: DDEV instructions were added in 🐛 Clarify commands in CONTRIBUTING.md, and provide XB DDEV add-on alternate commands Fixed

Will implement @shrop's suggestion!

I manually ran through these steps locally twice, in a fresh environment, starting from /tmp.

I believe @luke.leber's original request:

Just more copy/pastable instructions!

is now finally met :)

(The only assumption left, that is not stated explicitly: run a web server. I think that's reasonable.)

Hello all.

I struggled getting Drupal and XB running and it took several attempts so I thought I'd share my exact sequence.

I am using DDEV (vendor/bin/drush just wouldn't work for me)

1. git clone https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git
2. cd drupal
3. ddev config
4. ddev start ( now had a vanilla Drupal site running but not configured )
5. git clone git@git.drupal.org:project/experience_builder.git modules/contrib/experience_builder
6. composer require drush/drush
7. ddev drush si standard
8. working site core: 11.2-dev
9. ---
10. $settings['extension_discovery_scan_tests'] = TRUE; added to end of default/settings.php
11. ddev restart
12. git clone git@git.drupal.org:project/experience_builder.git modules/contrib/experience_builder
13. ddev drush pm:install experience_builder xb_dev_standard
14. cd modules/contrib/experience_builder/ui
15. npm install && npm run build

From there I was able to create an article and use XB.

I did attempt to add experience_builder to composer.json but could not resolve the requirements. And when using composer require --prefer-source drupal/experience_builder instead of cloning, the module was missing xb_dev_standard so would not install.

Automatically closed - issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.
