Project type is being reconfigured to PHP if config is run before composer install

[justafish]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Expected Behavior

When checking out a new project with type: drupal10 (or lower), and something like this is run before composer install:

❯ ddev config --web-environment-add="COMPOSER_CACHE_DIR=/var/www/html/.ddev/.drainpipe-composer-cache"
You are reconfiguring the project at /home/justafish/repos/site.com
The existing configuration will be updated and replaced.
A project of type 'php' was found in /home/justafish/repos/site.com/web, but the project is configured with type 'drupal10'
Configuring a 'php' project with docroot 'web' at /home/justafish/repos/site.com/web
Configuration complete. You may now run 'ddev start'.

This is causing jobs using Drainpipe's DDEV action to fail. Example workflow here: Lullabot/drainpipe#512

Actual Behavior

This is happening because when detecting the project type it's looking for a file that isn't necessarily present yet:

ddev/pkg/ddevapp/drupal.go

Line 321 in 63f9c67

f := filepath.Join(app.AppRoot, app.Docroot, "core/lib/Drupal.php")

Already fixed in (will be available in DDEV v1.23.0):

• fix: ddev config should not change unspecified options, fixes #5882 #5887

BTW, your GitHub action uses an old repo link. It works, but it's better to update it to the latest one.

DDEV v1.23.0-alpha1 is already available, and we'll have an RC in a couple of days. Please do update the installation technique as @stasadev says, thanks!
