Support drush instead of using too-simple core commands #29

Open rfay opened 4 months ago

rfay commented 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure we can support drush successfully with this technique, discussed in https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C62H9CWQM/p1714512734554949

hooks:
  post-start:
    exec: git stash && composer require drush/drush && git stash apply

Then we can use ddev drush si and all the other wonderful riches of drush...without messing up the composer.json or composer.lock.

It's slightly intrusive, and DDEV itself would never do anything like that by policy... but this is an opinionated add-on.

I'll be happy to do a PR to add this to config.ddev-drupal-core-dev.yaml after

Tests and everything else could then be run using DDEV's settings.ddev.php, using all database types, etc.

If you use the add-on with the joachim-n/drupal-core-development-project Composer template (see https://github.com/joachim-n/drupal-core-development-project/tree/1.0.15?tab=readme-ov-file#installation-on-ddev-with-the-justafishddev-drupal-core-dev-ddev-addon) then installing Drush becomes simple and doesn't mess up Composer files.
