Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Problem/Motivation
As Varbase adopts ECA (Event - Condition - Action) for core workflow automation, a number of ECA models are now enabled by default to replace hard-coded event subscribers and custom hooks.
This transition improves maintainability, modularity, and allows future AI integrations.
However, after a fresh installation, the list of ECA models does not automatically subscribe to their respective events — resulting in inactive workflows until a manual rebuild is triggered.

Steps to reproduce
Given on a fresh install of Varbase
Then the list of ECA Models will not auto-subscribe to events
Proposed resolution
- Add a process Rebuild the state of subscribed events for ECA
- An equivalent to running:
drush eca:subscriber:rebuild
All ECA models are correctly subscribed to their corresponding events immediately after installation.
No manual Drush commands required.
