Build task fails on project without composer.json file

Providing MR as suggested in https://drupal.slack.com/archives/CGKLP028K/p1738081709999859

MR tested OK in https://git.drupalcode.org/project/ui_examples/-/jobs/4167786

Interesting that you found this, as we mean to cater for projects without a composer.json file. An empty one is created earlier in the composer step, but maybe the logic is not quite right if you are having this problem.

We create the backup file if the "composer.json" file is present only, but we forgot to test for this in the case of restoring the backup.

The MR fixes it and #5 proves that it works.

The problem could have been introduced in the recent changes in 🐛 PHPCS error in contributed module caused by core recipe.README.txt Active

I've merged this already. Thanks for reporting and helping with the MR and testing.

From #7

We create the backup file if the "composer.json" file is present only, but we forgot to test for this in the case of restoring the backup.

The composer.json file is created empty if it does not exist. The actual cause of this problem is that no symlink was made for compsoer.json (quite correctly, as it happens now) but previosuly there would have always been the file there ready to delete.

The solution is good, anyway.

Yup, agree it might have been brought by that issue, but yeah, the fix in https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_templates/-/commit/c1feabf8cac... makes sense.

Can we fix the same issue for D7? Pretty please.

I totally forgot about it, thanks!! Merged.
