Upgrade to Drupal 11.1

Submitted by ezybzy on

Happy new year! It's time for another major Drupal upgrade. Don't want to be a late adopter but waiting for Drupal Gutenberg to properly update to D11 is a deal breaker. Anyway, here is what I do with this installation.

  • Fix theme compatability with D11.
  • Remove require-dev section from composer.json. Unexpected dependency here!
  • Remove drush/drush. Again, this blocks an upgrade.
composer remove drush/drush --no-install
  • Test with dry-run and upgrade. The recommended update command doesn't work somehow.
composer update "drupal/core-*" -W --no-install --dry-run
composer require composer/installers:^2.0 -W --no-install
composer require drupal/core-recommended:^11 drupal/core-composer-scaffold:^11 drupal/core-project-message:^11 -W --no-install
composer update --no-dev
  • Reinstall drush/drush.
composer require drush/drush --no-install
composer update --no-dev
  • Update database with drush.
sudo ./vendor/bin/drush updatedb

Wow, more painful than expected. If you want to remove old PHP CLI, it is safe to do.
