Problem/Motivation

We want to make Classy depend on Stable.

Currently, fatal errors occur when you try to visit update.php after we remove base theme: false from Classy's .info.yml. For update.php to work the theme displaying it needs to work.

Proposed resolution

If Stable is missing in theme initialization, ignore it.

Title: Unable to add a base theme dependency to the theme used for updates (update.php) » Make Classy extend from the new Stable base theme
Issue summary: View changes

We can maybe make Classy extend from Stable in this issue as well. Let's see how it goes, we can split later if needed.

I think we need something better than this because as soon as someone calls something like getActiveTheme() on ThemeManager or ThemeInitialization during updates things will probably go wrong. But here is something @lauriii and myself have been kicking around, he did the fancy things.

Originally I wanted to just put this stuff right into ThemeInitialization but I guess that's not good.

Issue tags: +rc target

Discussed with @catch and we agreed that this is an RC target since if we don't fix this then we'll have to copy all templates to Classy and Stable.

@lauriii mentioned in the frontend meeting today maybe doing something that's hanging off of UpdateKernel, that seemed sensible to me.

Related issues: +#2547507: Consider adding hook_update_early_N() support

This is the first proper use case for #2547507: Consider adding hook_update_early_N() support. I'm not sure that it means we should do the issue though.

There are a number of ways to go here... one possibility is to use a theme other than seven as the maintenance theme - but I think that this is a lot of work. Since we're in favour of doing the smallest possible changes during RC I think doing something special in the update controller might be a good idea.

Just want to make sure we don't forget this interdiff, moving from #2575737-21: Copy templates, CSS, and related assets to Stable and override core libraries' CSS with an additional change I caught. Any themes extending from Classy or Stable should not reference core libraries/templates/assets/etc. because they may change.

star-szr’s picture

Although that type of change may need to be follow-up to both of these issues unless #2575737: Copy templates, CSS, and related assets to Stable and override core libraries' CSS gets in first. So maybe roll that back for now because it will make tests fail.

So in order to get this to work we need to clear both the system list in state and the system list in cache - if you only clear the cache it uses state to rebuild the cache and if you only clear state then it'll read from the cache.

Hmmm...

/**
 * Initializes blocks for installed themes.
 *
 * @param $theme_list
 *   An array of theme names.
 */
function block_themes_installed($theme_list) {
  foreach ($theme_list as $theme) {
    block_theme_initialize($theme);
  }
}

This behaviour of copying blocks around is completely incorrect for base themes. We need #2574975: Allow (base-)themes to be excluded from the UI (e.g. blocks, Appearance). and then adjust block_theme_initialize() to not copy blocks for hidden themes.

A different approach and one that is not dependent at all on doing early update stuff. Basically it just ignores the missing stable base theme if it is not present because it is very special situation. In this way the update can proceed and enable stable as required.

Also I'm not that sure that the original update actually worked because of the way theme data is cached in cache and state (the system list is persisted across cache rebuilds here). We should have used ThemeHandler::refreshInfo() and not ThemeHandler::rebuildThemeData().

Manual testing seems to check out, bot is happy, and this approach seems sensible to me. I could only find these minor points on review:

Thanks a lot for figuring this out @alexpott. I tried figure out this personally for a long time but didn't make any progress. This looks pretty much RTBC beside this:

alexpott’s picture

@lauriii nope. But looking at these docs again makes me think we should just remove system_update_8012() and use the same one-liner. The // Ensure we have fresh info. is just unnecessary documentation.

alexpott’s picture

Here's a patch to show why we need to postpone this on #2574975: Allow (base-)themes to be excluded from the UI (e.g. blocks, Appearance).. Once that has landed installing stable will no longer automatically place blocks for it.

Okay so the only things I can see that need work are #33 (and removing the reference in that chunk of docs to system_update_8012() which is being removed now).

Since it's docs only, rolling in here and RTBC'ing – based on my previous reviews and @lauriii's in #34. I think @alexpott, @lauriii, and me are all happy with this now :)
