Automatically identified and configured

If your Drupal projects depend on ImageMagick then DDEV will be automatically configured to compile and use ImageMagick v7 in DDEV. See scripts/ddev/web-build for details.

Platform.sh is using v7 while DDEV is still running v6 by default.

Automated Tests for a Project

Use ddev tests to see what test suites are available for each project.

Environment Indicators

Environment indicators in the Drupal Toolbar are tricky because we need to ensure that colors don't conflict with each other and also work with white text.

The following colors should be used:

Color	HEX	Contrast	Environment
	#4A0080	13:1	local, ddev
	#005B94	7:1	dev
	#59590D	7:1	stage
	#8B0000	10:1	production

This is what people with color vision deficiency see when using the above colors:

Note

Please note that the add-on only controls the local environment color. You must fix the rest yourself!

Platform.sh config for SimpleI environment indicator

// Per environment settings:
// Configure environment indicator (simplei)
if (isset($platformsh->branch)) {
  // Production type environment.
  if ($platformsh->branch == 'main' || $platformsh->onDedicated()) {
    $settings['simple_environment_indicator'] = '#8B0000 LIVE';
  }
  // Staging type environment
  else if ($platformsh->branch == 'stage') {
    $settings['simple_environment_indicator'] = '#59590D STAGE';
  }
  // Development type environment.
  else {
    $settings['simple_environment_indicator'] = '#005B94 DEV';
  }
}
    

Tricks

Handy shell aliases to add to your host machine:

# DDEV
alias composer='ddev composer'
alias behat='ddev behat'
alias drush='ddev drush'
alias platform='ddev platform'
alias upsun='ddev upsun'
alias robo='ddev robo'

alias xe='ddev xdebug enable'
alias xd='ddev xdebug disable'
alias xt='status=$(ddev xdebug status) &&  if [ "$status" == "xdebug enabled" ]; then ddev xdebug off; else ddev xdebug on; fi' 

Common Problems and How-To Fix Them

commit-msg hook is ignored

Check git config -l for the value of core.hooksPath and can change it to the local path with

git config --local core.hooksPath .git/hooks
