Warn about using the "Source (Big N’Slow)" version of CKEditor in the Status Report

Thanks for the report, I'll look into this.

Actually, Edit lets ckeditor.module do all the hard work of figuring out which version is being used. Plus, the requirement is "4.2 or newer", not "4.1+".

So I'm not quite sure what's happening. Can you post a screenshot of your status report page? Thanks!

Can you also post a screenshot of the "CKEditor" row in the Status report?

There you go. That's why Edit is complaining in the status report. I don't think there's anything I can do about this, then…

In other words: you can just ignore this failure. If you're using the GIT version, you're supposed to know what you're doing, I guess :)

I've asked the CKEditor folks to chime in. Maybe there *is* something Edit can do. But I doubt it. Even if there is, it's probably not worthwhile because >95% (if not >99%) will not download the "Source (Big N’Slow)" version.

In ckeditor.install there is a code that displays the CKEditor version in "Status report", it looks like this:

      if ($installed_version == '%VERSION%') {
        $requirements['ckeditor']['value'] = 'GIT version';
      }

Edit does a simple version compare:

      if (version_compare($ckeditor_version, '4.2.0') == -1) {
        $requirements['edit_libraries_ckeditor']['value'] = t('The CKEditor library is too old, please update to 4.2 or newer!');
        $requirements['edit_libraries_ckeditor']['severity'] = REQUIREMENT_ERROR;
      }

which means that it cannot handle the "Source (Big N’Slow)" version, but also any version downloaded straight from the GIT repository, from any development branch. You should treat the "Source (Big N’Slow)" release just like any other distribution taken straight from the GIT repository (both will have version: '%VERSION%').

I'd suggest changing the message for such users into something like:

You are using the source version of CKEditor at your own risk, in case of using an outdated version some things may not work as expected. The latest stable version of CKEditor (an optimized release version) is recommended.

Alright, added a check for this in the status report as well:
