Drush switch\_to\_minimal
=========================

[](#drush-switch_to_minimal)

This command file adds a pre-command hook to the `config:import` command, which ensures that the install profile is set to whatever is defined in `core.extension.yml`. If the current profile is not the same as that profile, the install profile is changed. This hook will run **EVERY TIME**`drush config:import` is invoked, including when it is run as a subprocess of `drush deploy`. It is perfectly harmless to keep this code around after you switch profiles; it will simply bail, with the message “Current profile is already \[profile-name\]” if you run it with the `--verbose` option.

If `core.extension.yml` cannot be found, this command will fall back to the `minimal` profile.

This package also provides the command `switch-profile` which will perform the profile switch without invoking `drush config:import`.

The command file will be installed in `${PROJECT_ROOT}/drush/Commands/contrib/switch_to_minimal`.

How do I install it?
--------------------

[](#how-do-i-install-it)

Just invoke the following in your project:

```
composer require ossobuffo/switch_to_minimal

```

Why would I need this?
----------------------

[](#why-would-i-need-this)

This is designed to help move projects away from abandoned or deprecated contrib or custom profiles. If your automated deployment process is to push code and then run `drush deploy`, this should seamlessly integrate with that workflow.

Why is it named “switch\_to\_minimal” when it is actually switching to some other profile name?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[](#why-is-it-named-switch_to_minimal-when-it-is-actually-switching-to-some-other-profile-name)

The very first iterations of this command package had the `minimal` profile hardcoded.

Caveats
-------

[](#caveats)

If the profile you are moving away from includes contrib modules or libraries in its `composer.json`, you should make sure that they are now pulled in by your current main `composer.json`.

This could quite possibly work with older versions of Drush than advertised in the `composer.json` file. I have not tested, and do not consider it worth my while to do so.
