Drupal 8.x

I'm trying to get a specific menu link to a node but we have a giant menu structure with more than one link to the same node.

$menu_links = $menu_link_service->loadLinksByRoute('entity.node.canonical', $route_params, $menu_name);

This code works but $menu_links sometimes has multiple links.  The Menu UI module somehow keeps track of only a single menu link even if there are multiple links in the same menu to that node. I'm calling this the menu ui link, though maybe there's a better way to refer to it.

I have almost ported a site to Drupal 9,  but Webform is not available. Is there some other way to create a form that gets mailed to someone when done?

drupal 8.9.0

used the gui to try to update module field permissions from 8.x-1.0-rc2 to 8.x-1.0
(same issue on the other 2 modules i tried to update with the gui so i'm fairly certain its not a module issue ) 

went to extend > update  
checked the module off,  hit download these updates 

got to the next page and hit continue 

next thing i see is "

Page not found

The requested page could not be found.

looking in the access logs i see 

Hello Everyone, 

when I'm calling system_retrieve_file like:

$thumbnail = system_retrieve_file($thumbnail_url, NULL, TRUE, FileSystemInterface::EXISTS_REPLACE);

It will download the image into file system but when I try to print $thumbnail object it will have empty fid (file id). 

Note: when I ran the same code again with the same thumbnail url, it gave me the fid. 

Not sure why at first place fid is empty. 

I'm wondering which to use, what's the difference and/or advantage as compared to each other versus the traditional WAMP/LAMP/MAMP stack.

Also I change my laptop a lot, at least once a year as I get easily bored but I'm wondering if there was a to have all my developement tools and setup in abundle that is easily transferable from one system to the other without having to do that setup and settings and still have all my database dumb instack (a plug and play ark of sort).

Thank you.

Hi, 

I have created a custom migration module that simply imports users from a D7 site using Migrate Plus.  

I have five roles that get imported and it looks something like this:
