Drupalcon GitPod: 8.x-2 testing instructions

Thank you for beta testing! These instructions describe how to install the Automatic Updates module into a Drupal site, and use it to update Drupal core.

These are specific for using GitPod for those at Drupalcon. For the regular beta instructions use #3275810: 8.x-2.x Beta Testing Instructions

Start with this GitPod Clone site: https://gitpod.io#snapshot/a143ea45-5a11-4bcb-9ebf-d5d2d1f3baad

Drupal will already be installed with user: admin password: drupalcon

This has a Drupal core version and that needs to be Updated.
It already has Automatic Updates enabled.
Bonus: After you have updated core enable "Automatic Update Extensions" to update the installed Webform and Pathauto modules

Please report your test result when finished.

Use Automatic Updates to update Drupal

1. Ensure you're on the "Extend" page (/admin/modules) and click the "Update" tab.
2. You should see a newer version of Drupal as the recommended version. If you installed Automatic Updates into an existing Drupal site, you won't see this if you're already fully up to date. In that case, you may want to start again with a new Drupal project.
3. Click the "Update" button. You should be redirected to a page with a progress bar.
4. When you see a "Ready to update" screen, click the "Continue" button.
5. You should see an "Apply updates" screen with a progress bar.
6. You should be redirected to the "Available updates" page and see the message "Update complete!". If database updates are needed, you should be redirected to /update.php to run those; follow the instructions and you should get redirected to the "Available updates" page when finished.
7. You should see that Drupal core is fully up-to-date.

Thanks for testing! Please let us know how it went.
