Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The change to hook_requirements in 1.1 has broken install. Hook requirements runs on the Verify requirements step of the installer and the module attempts to call user_roles(), throwing an Exception with the following error:
The specified database connection is not defined: default
Hook_requirements needs to check the $phase in use and wrap code accordingly, so as to prevent this.

This was caused by this change: #1524292: Use hook_requirements instead of hook_enable

mikebarkas commentedI also had build failure.
I wrapped the code with a $phase runtime check as to not run during installation.
I also changed t() function to get_t() to improve future implementations of install requirements.
Attached patch.
