[meeting] Migrate Meeting 2025-04-24 2100Z

Here are a few suggestions for the agenda:

1. Converting source plugins from annotations to attributes
2. Deprecating the migrate_drupal and migrate_drupal_ui modules
3. Editing migrations in the admin UI

We converted source plugins to attributes in 📌 Convert MigrateSource plugin discovery to attributes Active . In a follow-up issue, 📌 Move source_module and destination_module from Migrate to Migrate Drupal Needs work , we removed source_module from the attribute class and reverted all the source plugins that extend DrupalSqlBase to use annotations (since they need to declare source_module).

Are there any other follow-up issues that need attention? Maybe 📌 Remove mimimum_version and requirements_met from MigrateSource attribute class Active ? If we want to do that, should we push to get it in before Drupal 11.2.0 is released? (That will be the first release that includes the attribute class, so BC is much less problematic if we change the attribute class before then.)

Other recently fixed issues: we moved two source plugins from migrate_drupal to migrate in 📌 Move content_entity source plugin to migrate module Active and 📌 Move the d8_config source plugin to the migrate module Active . Now we can have same-site migrations, using those source plugins, without enabling the migrate_drupal module. I now feel much better about deprecating the migrate_drupal module. Should we go ahead and do it? Let's review the plan issue, 📌 Tasks to deprecate Migrate Drupal Active .

When I added the Import CSV Recipe → , I realized that we are missing one important step for "ambitious site builders": they have no good way to edit (or even inspect) migration plugins. I think the Modeler API → module (currently in development) will help fill that need. It pulls out the code from the ECA → module that interacts with the JS-based editor. When it is ready, it will provide a tool that we can use to build a great editing experience for migrations (defined as config entities thanks to the migrate_plus module). First step: get the modeler_api module to an alpha release. (I think it is close.)
