Cumulative Drupal 9 Compatibility Patches.

Cumulative Drupal 9 Compatibility Patches.

⚠ The following instructions still work, but are no longer necessary thanks to Drupal's new Lenient Composer Endpoint.

This MR combines all the Drupal 9 compatibility patches from

https://www.drupal.org/project/insert_block/issues/3151591

plus additional patches for Drupal 9 compatibility and coding standards.

It is useful to have an issue fork for Drupal 9 compatibility, rather than simply a patch, because:

In short, you can't use a patch to tell Composer that a Drupal 8 module is compatible with Drupal 9.

To use this issue fork as a transitional D9-compatible package in your project, modify your composer.json:

    "repositories": {
        "drupal/insert_block": {
            "type": "vcs",
            "url": "https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/insert_block-3151591"
        },
        "drupal": {
          "type": "composer",
          "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8",
          "exclude": ["drupal/insert_block"]
        },

Requiring the patched package from the Issue Fork:

Execute the following command in a terminal:

$ composer require drupal/insert_block:dev-3151591-d9

or manually add the requirement to composer.json:

    "require": {
        "drupal/insert_block": "dev-3151591-d9",

NOTE:

Instructions above tested (with Drupal 8.9.18) and patched module now passes Upgrade Status tests.

Not yet tested with Drupal 9. You can help the Drupal community by testing this! 👍
