Drupal 10, the latest version of the open-source digital experience platform with even more features, is here.I was dumbfounded today trying to setup a drupal 8 site on Aegir using the "config_installer" profile. This tool will automatically import the config from the CONFIG_SYNC_DIRECTORY.
I am trying to override the CONFIG_SYNC_DIRECTORY, which in aegir is written into settings.php as sites/DOMAIN.com/files/private/sync.
I tried using local.settings.php to change the sync directory as specified in https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/configuration-management/changing-the-stor...
It would not override the variable listed in the install profile.
I did a print and a die, and it did run, so I knew local.settings.php was being included.
Turns out, it was only being included ONCE. I don't know if it was Drupal 8 itself, or config_installer profile, but settings.php was being bootstrapped TWICE. Meaning, the second time it was NOT including local.settings.php, and was re-overriding my config.
When I changed it to just include, it worked as expected.

D8 seems to have changed this to 'require' in core/lib/Drupal/Core/Site/Settings.php#n114
D7 has it in drupal_settings_initialize and does an include_once. And D6 does it the same way. So I'd vote to not change anything for those templates.

Jon PughThanks for looking into this, Herman.
That makes sense. I'll revert the changes to the pre 8 templates.
