Risks of Editing 'composer.lock' Directly in Drupal 10
Comment
Drupal developers are cautioned against directly modifying the 'composer.lock' file in Drupal 10, as outlined by Drupal developer Harshal Pradhan in a recent LinkedIn post. Altering 'composer.lock' can lead to significant issues, including version conflicts, security vulnerabilities, stability problems, troubleshooting challenges, and deployment inconsistencies. Harshal emphasizes that manual changes bypass Composer’s dependency checks, risking incompatible versions and unexpected bugs that can disrupt site functionality.
While editing 'composer.lock' is generally discouraged, there are a few exceptions where it may be warranted, such as emergency fixes in production, quick rollbacks, or isolated testing of dependency compatibility. However, Harshal advises developers to use Composer commands to manage dependencies in almost all cases, ensuring a stable and secure Drupal 10 environment.
