BLT + Standard Profile Configuration Issues

[mikemadison13]

I should state right up front that this isn't necessarily a BLT bug. But I think we need a way to work around it.

Describe the bug
After spinning up a new site and exporting configuration the first time, config imports and updates fail immediately due to https://www.drupal.org/node/2583113

  The import failed due to the following reasons:                              
  Entities exist of type <em class="placeholder">Shortcut link</em> and <em c  
  lass="placeholder">Shortcut set</em> <em class="placeholder">Default</em>.   
  These entities need to be deleted before importing.  

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior, ideally starting from a fresh install of BLT:

1. Run composer create-project acquia/drupal-recommended-project --no-interaction
2. Add drupal vm and setup a box
3. SSH into the container
4. Run blt setup:drupal:install -n
5. export configuration w/ drush cex -y
6. re-run blt setup:drupal:install -n

Expected behavior
Config Import will run

System information

• Operating system type: Drupal VM / Ubuntu
• BLT version: 12.3

Additional context
Based on what's going on, I think we have a few options:

• use the install from existing config option: while this probably will work, it won't fix the issue on ACSF (as we can't install through the UI from existing config)
• add a work around in BLT's config command to delete the default shortcuts (this could be hacky and dangerous but seems to work)
• add a condition to our configuration diff that ignores shortcut diffs (again, perhaps a bit hacky but seems like a valid option for now?)

[mikemadison13]

Update:
this seems to be happening because BLT 12 is now defaulting to the standard profile instead of lightning. See https://github.com/acquia/blt/blob/12.x/config/build.yml#L134

Updating / overriding this to use lightning instead of standard makes this a non-issue.

Is there a reason that we ship Lightning w/ the recommended project but install standard by default in BLT 12? Again, I think if this was exposed in blt.yml it would be much more obvious.

[mikemadison13]

choices are:

use lightning (not standard)
allow config-overrides

[justclint]

Thanks @mikemadison13. Regarding the config-override, Im assuming this would be adding to our settings.php something like:

$config['shortcut.set.default']['key'] = 'something';

Unfortunately we cant remove the actual links since those arent in config so what exactly would we be overriding in this case?

[mikemadison13]

no, i would do this in the blt.yml file:

cm:
  allow-overrides: true

[mikemadison13]

you could also grab the lightning "fix" for these to iterate through and delete the shortcuts on install: https://github.com/acquia/lightning/blob/5.0.x/lightning.install#L41

[justclint]

gotcha, now that im looking at another blt project or ours we are using that allow-overrides setting. In this case what worked was that setting plus I had to change the uuid on shortcut.set.default.yml to null.

[danepowell]

I don't see any way for BLT to solve this, it's a perennial bug with the Drupal config management system (or the standard install profile, however you prefer to look at it). The problem is that many profiles dynamically create content (such as shortcuts) that will generally have different UUIDs than whatever's stored in your config on disk, and so Drupal refuses to import your version from disk.

The only surefire solutions are to use a more well-behaved profile that doesn't dynamically generate config, or install from config (bypassing profile hook_installs).

Is there a reason that we ship Lightning w/ the recommended project but install standard by default in BLT 12?

Because BLT 12 can be added to any distribution, many of which aren't Lightning. The only safe defaults are profiles available in Drupal core, i.e. standard. Even if we change this back to Lightning (not a trivial ask btw, we'd need to dynamically set it in blt.yml during composer installs of BLT) it leaves non-Lightning users in the lurch.

[mikemadison13]

i'm fine not doing lightning, but i don't think we can do standard either (unless we want to start shipping a fix for standard, which i agree isn't in our scope). how do you feel about minimal? maybe this isn't an issue there.

all i know is that out of the box our recommended config strategy doesn't work because of our own default settings and the way standard works. that's not cool!
