Enhancing Drupal Forward Compatibility with New Tools and Integrations
Gábor Hojtsy shared an insightful blog post on the upcoming improvements in Drupal's ecosystem readiness and tooling. With Drupal 11's release imminent, nearly half of the top 200 modules are ready, but forward-thinking is crucial.
The Project Update Bot, initially created by Ted Bowman and enhanced by Björn Brala, has been instrumental in posting merge request suggestions across over 7600 project issue queues on Drupal.org. This bot, combining Upgrade Status and drupal-rector, could potentially be automated further to prevent forward incompatible code.
Hojtsy highlights the integration of Upgrade Status into GitLab CI, thanks to contributions from Bart Langelaan, Moshe Weitzman, Björn Brala, Fran Garcia-Linares, and Jonathan Smith. This integration, now part of Drupal.org templates, allows developers to enable the RUN_JOB_UPGRADE_STATUS variable in their .gitlab-ci.yml file, providing immediate feedback on forward compatibility and enhancing module readiness for future Drupal versions.
