drupal/dev-dependencies
=======================

[](#drupaldev-dependencies)

This project is for use with a Composer-managed Drupal site. This project is only needed to run the Drupal test suite on the site. Most sites probably do not need to use this project.

Updating
--------

[](#updating)

This project does not require `drupal/core`, nor does it have any conflict statements for any version of `drupal/core`. These constraints were omitted to avoid causing problems for sites trying to upgrade their version of `drupal/core`. The consequence of this decision is that the version of `drupal/dev-dependencies` might differ from the version of `drupal/core`installed. Generally speaking, it should be okay to run a newer version of `drupal/dev-dependencies` than `drupal/core`. Using a newer version of `drupal/core` might not work, though, as it is possible that new test dependencies may have been added.

References

It was generated from tools derived from [webflo/package-generator-drupal](https://github.com/webflo/package-generator-drupal)and [webflo/package-generator](https://github.com/webflo/package-generator).
