Hey there!
I completely missed the newsletter during February, even with our free day on the 29th!
My latest blog post
Automating dependencies simplifies managing your Drupal site. Except when one of those dependencies adds an update hook, which modifies the configuration, and you didn't know to re-export that configuration 🙈. In this blog, I share my CI workflow checks for any configuration changes caused by a dependency update.
Verifying your Drupal site's configuration against changes from dependency updates
Previously, I wrote about leveraging Dependabot to automate dependency updates for my Drupal projects. Automating dependency updates saves a lot of time. However, Drupal core or contributed modules may perform updates that modify the configuration state of your Drupal site that needs to be re-exported. A standard continuous integration pipeline that only performs code linting and tests will miss these changes.
Florida DrupalCamp 2024
I was at Florida DrupalCamp last weekend. The trip was extra special for me. 2014, ten years ago, was my first time attending FLDC and speaking at a Drupal conference.
Here are links to my talks and their recordings:
- The opportunity of open source
- Tighten up your Drupal code using PHPStan
- Running Drupal 7 code in Drupal 10 (co-presenter)
