Backdrop Upgrade Status Conflicts With automatic_updates #12

Open philsward opened 3 years ago

This is here more as a PSA than a request for fix.

I was testing the Drupal Automatic Updates module on one of my sites and ran into an interesting bug where "if" a module has conflicts with the signature file and errors out, backdrop_upgrade_status will cause the site to go into a batch update loop, rendering the site unusable.

I bring this up as a PSA because the conflicting module in question was the "Fences" module specifically the latest 2.x-beta version.

automatic_updates chokes when trying to figure out the status of Fences, and that causes BUS to choke.

It's literally a perfect storm of modules, however it's pretty nasty when it happens.

"If" we had a way to collect the module usage statistics of BUS we could see how many sites are using both automatic_updates and fences to determine how badly we need to focus on a fix.
