Problem/Motivation

By following the setup steps defined in https://github.com/ddev/ddev-drupal-contrib the following command fails:

❯ ddev poser
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/search_api_autocomplete 1.x-dev -> satisfiable by drupal/search_api_autocomplete[1.x-dev (alias of dev-1.x)].
    - drupal/search_api_autocomplete dev-1.x requires drupal/search_api ^1.0 -> satisfiable by drupal/search_api[dev-1.x, 1.0.0-alpha1, ..., 1.x-dev (alias of dev-1.x)] from composer repo (https://packages.drupal.org/8) but drupal/search_api dev-8.x-1.x is the root package and cannot be modified. See https://getcomposer.org/dep-on-root for details and assistance.
    - drupal/search_api_autocomplete 1.x-dev is an alias of drupal/search_api_autocomplete dev-1.x and thus requires it to be installed too.

touch: cannot touch 'web/core/.env': No such file or directory

This is caused by the recently merged change to 8.x-1.x branch: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/search_api/-/commit/998ab169e1c9f7da0...

    Thanks for reporting this issue and already providing an MR!
    Unfortunately hard to test whether this actually works … How confident are you in your solution? Any examples of other projects where this worked/helped?

    I am quite confident, you do not need DDEV to reproduce this issue at all, just clone the project and try to run composer install inside the folder. It is going to fail the same way because Composer cannot resolve other dependency versions without the branch alias.

    When running composer install from inside the Git checkout of this module you’d also need to add the repositories entry for the Drupal Packagist repo, but yes, I then also had to add the branch alias for it to work.

    While I’m again not familiar enough with Ddev to confidently say whether this change works as intended or is even needed, it seems harmless enough and does fix at least something, so it should hopefully at least not cause any problems. I therefore merged it, hopefully it will help a few people.
    Thanks again!
