Problem/Motivation

Attempted to update to 4.3.1, but getting "missing or invalid module" error for js_cookie. The 4.3.1 update switches from js_cookie to localStorage, and running 'composer update' removes js_cookie. But I guess that doesn't remove the config and so you can't run update.php? Or something? Unclear what I'm supposed to do besides run 'composer update'.

Oh yes that is annoying. I have run into that with transitive dependencies. I tend to “hoist” all the Drupal/ packages to the root composer.json (sorry replying from phone, but have a script I can share)

In any case, composer require Drupal/js_cookie will get you over the hump, then you can decide to uninstall it at your convenience

If you have composer and jq this is the one-liner

composer show --format=json | jq -r '.installed[] | select(."direct-dependency" == false and (.name | startswith("drupal/")) and .name != "drupal/core") | .name' | xargs -I {} composer require {}

I'm on macOS so that works for me... let me know if this helps @jwineichen

Explanation

  • composer show --format=json: Lists all installed packages in JSON format.
  • jq -r '...': Filters the JSON to find packages where:
  • "direct-dependency" is false (meaning they are transitive).
  • The name starts with drupal/.
  • The name is not drupal/core.
  • xargs -I {} composer require {}: Runs composer require for each identified package to promote it to a direct dependency.

I am glad that helped!

The script is great but there are some false positives you might run into like drupal/chosen has a library drupal/chosen_lib that is not a module but uses the same drupal/ vendor, for example. Mileage may vary.
