I am trying to use the Drupal 8 Project on GitLab and I am having an issue with a downstream CiviCRM requirement. I am not sure where to post this issue, so I hope it is okay if I post it here.

The Composer files download civicrm/civicrm-asset-plugin. This asset includes pear/net_smtp. There is also a patch CiviCRM custom error message for CRM-8744.

When Composer attempts to apply the patch, I get the error " Cannot apply patch Add in CiviCRM custom error message for CRM-8744 (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/a6a0ff13d2a155ad962529595dceaef728116f 96/tools/scripts/composer/patches/net-smtp-patch.patch)!".

I am not sure how to change what files are included in civicrm/civicrm-asset-plugin if there should be another patch or how to try and skip the patch in Composer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Steve

  • I followed this process and am having a problem where the CiviCRM menu is missing. It looks like the underlying pages may be working if you add the url manually but the menu is not there. – HeneryH Jul 11 at 16:20

Roundearth just recently switched to using civicrm-asset-plugin and it may not be fully integrated yet.

CiviCRM can be installed on drupal 8 without roundearth now - it's still not "official" but is being used by some.

composer create-project drupal/recommended-project some-folder

cd some-folder

# replace the 'x' below with a proper version number

composer require civicrm/civicrm-core:5.x.x civicrm/civicrm-packages:5.x.x civicrm/civicrm-drupal-8:5.x.x civicrm/civicrm-asset-plugin:~1.0.1

Install Drupal as usual

Then to install CiviCRM - make sure the civicrm.settings.php file can be created -> by making the web/sites/default directory writeable:

chmod +w web/sites/default

Then you can either go to Extend and enable CiviCRM Core or you can do this from the command line:

drush en -y civicrm

  • Don't forget to follow that with: :-) composer require 'drupal/webform_civicrm:^5.0' – KarinG - Semper IT May 7 at 15:39
  • He he. That's one way to pad extension usage stats! If you're going to use drush for the rest of the install though then you need to composer require drush/drush:^8 I think. It didn't work with 9 or 10 the last time I tried but that was a while ago. There are official docs coming, just they aren't up yet. – Demerit May 7 at 15:48
  • I always use whatever Tim decides we should use: which drush -> /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/buildkit/bin/drush – KarinG - Semper IT May 7 at 16:00
  • He he. Buildkit is using drush8, but also if you have buildkit installed then you only need one command to do the whole thing: civibuild create somename --type d8rec-clean – Demerit May 7 at 20:33
  • No don’t want to do that! That’s too easy :-) – KarinG - Semper IT May 7 at 20:42
