Meeting of the Experience Builder Initiative 2025-02-14 [#3514178]

:wave:Hello team, welcome to the weekly meeting of the Experience Builder initiative.

1️⃣ Do you have suggested topics you are looking to discuss? Post in this thread, and we’ll open threads for them as appropriate.

2️⃣ Subtopic 1: Theme builder

3️⃣ Subtopic 2: Page builder

4️⃣ Subtopic 3: Data model/persistence layer

5️⃣ I’m not sure where to start, but I want to contribute to Experience Builder.

Simon Ramsay	I’m trying to set up using the instruction in the CONTRIBUTING.md but get Unable to install modules experience_builder, xb_dev_standard due to missing modules xb_dev_standard. at step 6.
Simon Ramsay	From https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C072JMEPUS1/p1738267074634389 it says you need the xb_dev_standard module.Is this an issue that is known.Prefer not using ddev (if possible)
Simon Ramsay	I come across the attached issue because I got the same “An unexpected error…”I guess my question is more general as I am about to try ddev, but how do people get started. We want to use the most recent version not the 0.1.0-alpha1 released 24 September 2024CONTRIBUTING.md needs more info. I’d be happy to update it if someone could advise.what are some reasons the $settings['extension_discovery_scan_tests'] = TRUE; isn’t working? (edited)
Simon Ramsay	I followed the ddev set up https://github.com/TravisCarden/ddev-drupal-xb-dev
	This works even though ddev is resource heavy during set up.

smustgrave	Closed 1/23[#3506499]Just need credit added please @griffynh @Kristen Pol (she/her)
smustgrave	btw think I found what causes the tool to break. Videos seem to break the crawler. Had to do some by hand. Luckily not much

1️⃣ 0️⃣ Not sure where we landed on switching to every other week.

smustgrave	cc @larowlan @griffynh @Kristen Pol (she/her)
Kristen Pol (she/her)	Seemed like people were good with that to me
smustgrave	So how would that work? Would griff you just run them now?
Kristen Pol (she/her)	Ah… not sure then :)

1️⃣1️⃣ How does XB handle deleted entities?

smustgrave

Recently got hit by a layout builder bug where an editor deleted a block which was placed in layout builder and caused layout builder UI to fail to load. Since, my understanding, is both LB and XB are serializing it’s stuff how would XB handle this scenario?
