Quick and easy way to automate installing Drupal 9 with Lando

It’s that time again! Drupal 9 will be released later this year and it’s never too late to test patches and contribute. Thinking about it, I wondered how to quickly test patches and install Drupal 9 from my local Git checkout. When I say quickly it means it really should be dead simple, by typing one command only. The idea being to make sure I’d always install Drupal from the 9.0.x branch at the latest commit to follow changes.

Check anavarre/d9 on Github

I came up with a Python script to achieve just that on Linux. It should work on Mac but it’s untested. The idea is this:

  • Install Drupal 9 with the --install parameter
  • Wipe everything (really, delete all containers and go back to a clean Git repo) with the --wipe parameter

It looks like this upon installing Drupal:

$ d9 --install

Your app has started up correctly.
Here are some vitals:

A few more notes

At the time of this writing I’m using the drupal8 Lando recipe. I filed an issue to get an official recipe for drupal9, which means the script will - hopefully soon - be even simpler (no need to create and manage a .lando.yml file or to install Drush). There’s a PR about it in case you’re interested and wish to contribute.
