I've been tasked to upgrade another inherited #drupal 9 site to 10, apply a some major updates to the existing theme, and stage it on #pantheon
As-is, none of the contrib modules had been defined in its #composer #json config, and it has quite a few complex added features and content types that may no longer be required. Let's see how this goes! 😎

for starters, it's #drupal 9.3, so I'll need to get it to 9.5 before upgrading to 10. That requires #composer v1, so I'll need to 'composer selfupdate --1' and then switch back to 2 after the update, IF that's successful

the initial strategy is uninstall and remove any #drupal modules that aren't required. Use #drush to update any that are required (since they aren't in composer.json), see if I can get it to 9.5 and then 10, then worry about wrangling and composerizing the existing contrib modules that are wandering around

Not a disaster, yet. Upped to #drupal 10.2.1. No #WSOD on the homepage or admin interface, though I haven't tested any other pages or views yet. I thought the #Radix based theme would be a showstopper, but that went ok. There was an odd theme function using hook_preprocess_image() that I had to disable, so now I'm just in the process of testing everything on the frontend :]

😎 fwiw, this #drupal 9.3 to10 upgrade was all done with a #WAMP dev environment in Windoze 11, #git for #windows with the little git Bash terminal, #vscode, manually installing the latest cacert.pem, and #dbeaver for creating backups at each major step. I'm OS ambidextrous, having been a datacenter tech and sysadmin, and always with a #linux vm running for various tools as well as #wsl. I just think most people believe this can't all be done on win.

ok.. on to testing and migrating this into #pantheon #drupal hosting 🙃

but first, I ran composer require 'drupal/[module]' for each #drupal contrib module that had been installed manually into the root module folder (years ago), first verifying the same version would be installed (into ./contrib), deleting the old version, running drush cr, and performing some basic tests. After doing that ten times, this site is now composerized :]

this process wound up working to get two other sites from #drupal 9.3 to 9.5 to 10.2.1.
I had to fix some issues with #Twig 'spaceless' being deprecated in the custom themes, and the profile_switcher saved me from remnants of Lightning 2.x beta something, though some time ago a lot of effort was put into disabling and removing all lightning workflow related features. ðŸĶĪ I think I like drupal again!
