4 years ago Hi Andre, updates should be handled only via Composer. Lightning has constraints to ensure that incompatible modules are not installed.
I wouldn't worry too much about what the status page thinks -- Drupal core can be somewhat strict about that, but there is quite a bit more leeway in the real world. We do update modules in Lightning as often as possible; sometimes we will keep an old version around due to incompatibilities with other modules Lightning ships, which annoys the status page, but at least doesn't break your site.
Hi, Today I installed Acquia Lightning with composer on my own server. I used Postgres database as MySQL did not work (It kept on jumping back to install.php after installation) After successful installation, I went to the Reports -> Status report menu and it indicates that there was 1 Error and 1 Warning.
The warning is due to the Media Library Experimental module
The error indicated that there is at least one module that is unsupported. So I clicked on the "Unsupported release" link in the error message. It took me to the Update page and listed 3 modules:
So I installed the updates and the system broke, complaining about missing classes. Seemed the Simple OAuth had problems (It did warn that the new version might not be backward compatible.)
So I removed it via composer and installed it again. Solved that issue.
But then Media entity instagram complained about a missing class when I go to the Status report. I tried to remove it and install it again, but that did not work.
Eventually, I dropped my database and started from scratch.
So now I have the installation working, but with these errors and the 3 modules that is listed to be updated.
Should I just leave them and when will I know to update them. Or should I only do updates via composer?
Thanks Andre Truter
